Bass-O-Matic - Fascinating Rhythm

[@paulmcmc4005]

We're did all this musical 90's MAGIC go?? So many amazing songs this decade had to offer and bless us. The 90's doesn't feel like 20-30 years ago. Feels like we're still in the 00's and this song was only 10ish years ago lol. Surely i'm not the only one feeling this way??

[@paulgoodale8255]

No it's a real phenomenon. I'll be pumping this when I'm in a care home.

[@daveshaw5293]

This is music from the future today's music is the dark ages .love the 90s ❤

[@H71BCD]

Like with most of this style of music from this period it doesn’t sound dated. I took it for granted at the time but now realise how lucky I was to be in my teens when we had all of the great early 90s music.

[@josefushaze5098]

I think it's because nobody really had a clue what they were doing. This tune and the video are both made by mashing random influences together. Like that early 90s baggy beat, random rap bit, then the organ lick from Liquidator... Belly dancers in the video. And some children, why not? It's accidental brilliance. Hard to achieve nowadays because the music industry quickly figures out the formula for things, then regenerates endless derivatives of the original magic. One key thing the people who pedal music for profit just don't understand is that the magic happens when people aren't thinking too much, they're just doing.

[@robertwilson214]

It's cos not much good music came out after 2000.

[@PetShopMod]

As a 49yo not only do I watch these clips to get a sense of happy nostalgia, but also to read the comments that always put a smile on face like l used to have on the dance floor when l would dance to this many, MANY moons ago.

[@eltonwelsby787]

[@anon6366]

I feel sorry for kids today. No freedom, terrible music, stupid social media, propaganda messing with their heads 24/7. Back in the 80s/90s I could just piss off to the woods with my mates on our bikes and switch off from everything for a while at least

[@nicklodge7610]

What a tune. I often find myself whistling/humming this tune when concentrating on something - working, washing up, cutting the grass etc. I think the tune is burned on my psyche... I was 14 when this came out - 46 now, **gulp** miss those days...

[@DavidFrampton-s9e]

Best song 1990. Black and white together the way music should be. Dont usually like rap but this is ace. Kids knew how dance. Im 58 as and makes me feel young. Beautiful.

[@fractalign]

The sun has just risen over a field of smiling faces, it’s time to go but not before the DJ throws this on to the cries of one more. Those precious few minutes are savoured more than life itself. This moment will never be repeated, there is no coming back from this. A moment so precious that it brings a tear of joy to those present. A moment so profound that it’s cast into stone as a memory that will live on to those who were there at the time.

[@Camille_Anderson]

[@paulinemoody1]

I am transported back through time. Being in a club and being given a small piece of paper which had directions for a wee gathering which would operate until police showed up always looking bemused lol. Also my first big rave which I swear changed me . Closest thing to religion, a magical time with magical people which I always thought this is what it's about.

[@dellablair8514]

Beautiful writing and so evocative. I can truly take myself back to scenes like this, all that optimism and the pure joy of finding your tribe. Living for those moments when the lasers in the distance mark your path towards a late 80’s-early 90’s version of utopia. For me, it was hearing ‘The Sun Rising’ by the Beloved being played as the sun came up over one of those outdoor raves, before the criminal justice bill came in. I don’t ever want to forget just how amazing those years were.

[@sk-sb6yx]

I came across this song from a VHS that my mum had, I think it was NOW that’s what I call Music 90. I used to watch these tapes religiously when I was growing up (I’m now 25!) I fell in love with this song and wished I could be transported back to the early 90s and hear it at a club. I have no idea if anywhere still plays music like this!? (Please let me know!) As much as it’s great that we now have music at our fingertips, I feel sad when I think about the next generations losing the magic when it comes to finding music - I.e having to tape your favourite song from the radio on to a cassette, or hearing something on TOTP and going to buy the CD the next day or the joy of finding the music your parents listened to growing up by watching a music video VHS tape! All these types of situations meant more effort when it came to music consumption but they certainly felt more rewarding

[@blakeash4846]

This song and music similar to this is played on Absolute Radio 90’s . This song was also in Only Fools & Horses 1990 Christmas special in the nightclub Del & Rodney are in

[@timdyer5903]

I was 18 in 1990 in Cornwall UK. This song has incredible memories for me too. Sept to Christmas 1990. Also look for The Shamen Hypereal. Seal Crazy. Madonna Justify my love. Enigma sadness. Same era and incredible. Finally play the whole depeche mode violator album. That's all a time machine.

I woke up at about 9.10am and a had left the raidio on from the night before with the volumn quite low down and when i woke up this song was just starting i knew i wouldnt get back to sleep.
