9 in 1 (14)

I made this playlist ages ago, so I'm gonna be guessing where I heard this stuff...

Don Brown - Don't Lose Your Love

This feels like a Flo or Charlie Bones breakfast banger. From a comp called "Seattle Funk, Modern Soul & Boogie: Volume II 1972-1987".

The Wedding Present - Falling

The Wedding Present is one of those bands where I knew the name but not much else. 

So when I saw Hit Parade 1 in a charity shop here in Llantwit for 20p, it was a gamble worth taking. And it paid off with this grungey, dirgey take on Julee Cruise's Falling from the Twin Peaks OST.

Brian Eno - Third Uncle

Just Brian Eno doing post-punk before punk in 1974. Insane, time travel shit.

Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights (Erol Alkan's Love From Below Re-Edit)

Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

Sweeping Promises - Pain Without a Touch

Straight into the top 10 things I've heard this year. Basically Blondie, I'm a sucker for this kind of new wave.

Prefab Sprout - Wild Horses

Unlike Don Brown, I can say that this was definitely played on Do!! You!!! Radio. I'm amazed that I never delved into Prefab Sprout through all my years at TheSprout.

Wwzz - Haf Braf

Absolute killer Welsh rave from 1992. Anyone got an mp3 of this I can have to play on Amser Electroneg?

Pangaea - Like This (Full Mix)

Is this big room house? Festival house?

De Ambassade - Geen Genade

Gloomy moody Dutch minimal wave. Sign me up.
