Ah - memories :)

Prompted by the rather odd sight of a bunch of pre-teens singing (Keep Feeling) Fascination in a pub, and by the fact that I recently named a photo after the below despite not having heard it for a good couple of decades, I went hunting for this.

I remembered this E.P. as their finest moment, and I'm glad to see that it still sounds that way. In retrospect, almost a disclaimer for what followed. Bonus points for anyone who can turn up the remaining parts, btw.

The only time I saw the Human league was at Tiffany's and it was an all male line up, even the synths were male. It was in essence an audio visual presentation with live vocals.

Manics - Gold Against The Soul:


(Not many bands would ever have tried lyrics like 'make Yorkshire into a tourist resort, and dream of new ways to humble the poor'.)

I liked Morcheeba's first album a lot back in the day, and was very disappointed they went all crap after it. Oh well.

You chaps have absolutely no idea of the forgotten byroads in the J record collection that set me off down. :D

But anyway... white Brit bandleaders izzit? Ronnie Scott. Game over.



Featuring a youngish and not particularly noticeable Stan Tracey - probably the most underrated British musician of the recordable age.

Just for the sake of it, The Jazz Messengers' version of the same tune. Cool-looking as feck or what? Ignoring the bloke with the maracas in the first twenty seconds, obviously.
