Bassheads - Is There Anybody Out There?

Deconstruction, 1991

[@djtezd]

One of he best tunes of all time. I have an original white label promo of this framed. First heard it at Zone Blackpool back in the day & the rushes nearly blew my head off. I remember when this came on in Angels in Burnley as well & the whole club just went mental, it was raining sweat from the ceiling. I miss those days & I just think that the youth of today will never experience what we did in the late 80's to mid 90's. 91-95 was the best for me!

[@carllucey9130]

My neighbours have been listening to this all night....they've got no fucking choice.

[@Smiffster2006]

A true dance classic. Anyone who was into the dance scene in the early 90s will remember this tune being massively popular. Still sounds great today. RAVE ON!

[@thedeadparrotsketch]

OMG....Not heard this for fucking years... Been there, danced, tripped and hallucinated my way through much of the nineties listening to this sort of music!

[@DF118118]

The Osmonds, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd and Afrika Bambaata, who'd have thought that would work?

[@ambientdweller]

We were there..that's all that matters...:)

[@Arclight74]

Class. Beautiful tune. I was 16 at the time and this tune blew the world open for me ... Daz Bennett3 is spot on - 20 years old and pisses over the crappy chart dance of today.

[@ThaDarkStranger]

The full mix, with the Pink Floyd sample... wouldn't have it any other way. A work of genius. One of my faves, no doubt. ;-)

[@damiannagel1547]

how the hell can this tune have 8 dislikes tut tut

[@jsjoes]

When my ex wife was in labour and under the influence of gas and air she thought i rapped this song to her while she was pushing... LMAO

[@davidmccullough2930]

Have to agreed to alot of what your saying i am 38 and grow up in this scene and loved it . It was our time and we used to roll are eyes when people talked about how great the 60's music was.It was our back lashe against being feed american music on mtv and pete waterman's kylie and jason rubbish.Every generation will find their own music and scene what ever that may be and just enjoy it.

[@SuchAPrettyMess]

Such a killer bassline, my favorite part (too) is always the progression at the beginning.

[@colsmooth]

thank fook for youtube or we never hear these tunes again! and thanks uploader!

[@MrAdeyb]

Renault 5 gt turbo...rst escort....xr3i....xr2....205 1.9 gti......gte 16v.....quite nippy cars when this song was playing

[@Synthematix]

The question is, is there anybody out there?

[@BHALT0S]

I was 16 when this came out, and one of my all time faves.

[@senzil]

For us that know!! x

[@Chaswhiskey]

Alas the days have gone. We were al happy that we could all understand and become part of the sound. You could feel your soul almost lift and the rush was immense.... But we were sociable people then - now there are scared and confused children who have no idea of the worth of life or respect.....

[@1979dantheman]

awsome song not heard it for while,tive got goose bumps all over my neck and arms.CLASIC!

[@damianprince1974]

wigan pier in 91. wot a bangin place dj malc u were a god.

[@HertsHoopsDotOrg]

You very nearly brought tears to my eyes there. Full Circle at Colnbrook c. 1991-93. About as good as it got for me. Lying in the garden watching the underside of low-flying planes and then trotting in for the weekend's last big dance up. Brilliant.

[@djraymac1]

Disco biscuit days this tune brings back good memories wish I was twenty again ....

[@furtwangle]

rave on forever, sun endlessly rising out of the morning mist behind the DJ.

[@dazbennett3]

I'm soooo blessed to have been 16 years old when hearing this tuney tune tune!!!!!! 20 years old and pisses all over todays music full stop .

[@imMANTA73]

just took me back to sitting in my mk 3 escort with my m8s, on a mountain in north wales looking over the wirral and liverpool at night..............class AAAAAAAAAAAAAsssssssss

[@TheGreeny38]

i remember this as a time when i found true peace and happiness where people didn't have to wear the right clothes etc. Then it became a trend which messed the whole thing up. Cant take those the days away from us though. yyyyyeeeeeeeess.

[@sb321]

Awesome classic from the days, one of my top 3 tunes, others are Altern8 - Activ8, and Bassheads - Back to the old school (wicked piano melody)

[@Waxxaful]

Got played at Sankeys Closing Party on Monday! Such energy in the room.. set the tone for the whole party... What a track!!

[@alternativeanswer]

@TheStarsmoker It was the days of awakening, i didn't realise back then but it started on a spitiual journey that has not stopped, a journey back to unconditional love.

[@andy6478]

If you're mid 30's to ... who gives a sh1t? Who cares where the samples are from? Did you enjoy this as a whipper snapper? Are you enjoying it now? Good for you either way

[@littlefn]

toptop tune. sat down or raving like mad it's cool as fonzy. I grew up with this as my favourite

[@Garciamrcool]

Feel sorry for the kids today. All they get is Simon Cowell. Tragic. And what's with all the aggression.

[@mickj88]

[@Marjopolo302]

Love the Talking Heads BIT!

@dazbennett3 I was 18. We were lucky to have been born when we were. We were part of something never to be repeated. Good work fella!!

[@AnthonyRosbottom]

Ah! choon! I still have this on original CD single. I get it out every year or so and put it on LOUD!!!!! I don't know any other tune that starts the drum loop halfway through a bassline riff and gets away with it.

[@shedboystu]

[@Tijdelijk13]

Do i hear samples of Once in a lifetime by Talking Heads? I love this

[@jajajaja29]

[@DF118118]

whoever thought that a record that sampled the osmonds and talking heads would be so fucking awesome?

[@dust95]

outro is so brilliant

[@smokin1974]

like all quality tunes should be - a full journey from start to end - sometimes i feel its a shame to mix it as it stands out on its own - happy memories every time i hear this tune. an old cliche - but the really dont make tunes like this anymore!!!!!!! thankx for posting the full version - my vinyl is waay too crackly now!!!!

[@ashleystevens5933]

I have got this record and I am 15 :-)

[@MrChrisayre]

[@taffthesheep]

All time classic

[@strainmeister]

BRILLIANT!

[@MrGooner61]

I remember them doing a live set at sterns 1991/2. Sounds dated now but back then it was trippy as fuck.

[@DaVibezVirus]
