Not in a sombre way, just..well I dont know, maybe it was it was being a certain age when it came out. Man. But to me this sums up the mania of that time so well and is a serious tune (jokes not withstanding). I can recall so many half assed parties or sessions in houses and when this was played it took hold of the room like no other song. I had the t-shirt with the graphic that you have in th epos (didn't we all) and when I did my J1 in boston in 1990 and wore it those in the know would stop you in the street to share their thoughts, usually concerning if I knew where certain materials could be purchased. It was some time to be around thats for sure.

For all his JD, NO, Mondays, Magazine, ACR and Invisible Girls work, It's the amazing hollow funk/No Wave of ESG I always return to - haunting, funky beats.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-82461301527351863652015-09-12T21:43:50.717+01:002015-09-12T21:43:50.717+01:00I think he's widely recognised as the product...I think he's widely recognised as the production genius of that period tbh.

History, especially found movies and books, has not been kind to him - he was either difficult, out of his mind, weird, or all of these. I bet the reality was that he was a production genius who clashed with artist egos more than their musical intentions.
