Yep,big time.This song wouldn't be made now,wouldn't be allowed by Corporate.Its all singer/songwriter or bland R n B crap.Total control of music by the big boys.Bland nonsense.We were lucky in the 80's to have music like this.Inner City were like a breath of fresh air,that Detroit sound,fantastic.

80s-90s golden age of house, techno and acid !

[@MJ.71]

I remember working away in London, in a building near St Pauls Cathedral, (fitting carpets) One Saturday afternoon me and the guy I was with went for a walk to a near by sandwich bar and saw a load of filming going on half way up a flight of stairs that ran at the side of the building, we stood and watched for a while then carried on our way, didn't think much of it. Then about a month later I saw this on tv, and realised it had been part of the video we stood and watched being made.

[@theonemesis5217]

Hahaha! Small world! Guys...here we have an actually witness of the event back then! Ain't technology wonderful! Thanks mate for sharing this with us! Many regards from a guy in Greece, who grow up as a teenager, in the '80s, and was lucky enough to be "nourished" by these awesome melodies! Listening now, from the mouths of the actual witnesses, these kind of things, makes it even more thrilling! Cheers mate!

@@theonemesis5217 No, technology is NOT wonderful. It had given birth to the death of music as we know it. It has allowed all sorts of pond life that in a normal world wouldn't be allowed 500 miles anywhere NEAR a studio to splurge an unending stream of excrement in the name of art, entertainment and being 'themselves'! Every lousy cloud of acid rain has NO silver lining-unless its lead poisoning.

Kevin Saunderson in his prime. Waaaay ahead of his time. Genius.

[@Tinywars]

Ahead of its time? No. The problem is that the music we have now is so poor in comparison that the 80's and 90's tune sound so good. Don't get me wrong. Those decades were bloody awesome. Once the 2000s hit it was game over.

[@maccagee693]
