MARRS - Pump Up The Volume
What a genius song... and more than 20 years old. The sound is very retro-sample, but sounds amazing after all these years
Jack Your Body by Steve Silk Hurley has not aged so well but is of equal significance in the history of music.

It was such an innovative song- probably the first modern dance song to make it big. And its use of samples was way ahead of its time (even though they did get into a bit of bother with Stock Aitken Waterman over the use of Roadblock!
)

This one brings back some happy memories. It still sounds good today. Could someone please tell me where the last 20 years went?!

I remember this. It was so different. Probably ahead of it's time. The video that went with it I think was spacemen landing on the moon?

The single was fantastic, I wasn't aware of the stolen samples until a few years ago.
It's IMO a classic track. |

I remember when "Jack you're body" came out and thinking, Oh christ just when you thought music could'nt get any worse.
Then we had jack this and jack that for the next few years, it is awful all of it. "Pump up the volume"? That is seriously crap to, Marrs = No talent whatsoever. Following this we then had Stock Aitkin and Waterman to top things off. I'm sorry but the 80's were great when the likes of The Jam,The Specials,Dexy's,Madness,Polic,Blondie,Rainbow,Motorhead,Iron Maiden etc... Endless legendary bands that would pack out stadiums today filled the top40. In my opinion the top40 has never recovered from that late 80's onslaught of mediocre talentfree rubbish and perhaps never will, Totp bit the dust, not because it was old hat but because there was nothing worth watching on it anymore and it was boring. Who wants to watch some chav in a baseball cap spinning records? or some former soapstar acting out the role of a popstar? Jive bunny anyone? Music radio is crap now as is Music Television, Its predictable unexiting and mediocre, But that seems to be acceptable these days. Radio stations aren't interested in great new bands anymore that know how to play and may even have something to say about the world we are living in, They just tedious little innoffensive tunes that say nothing and mean nothing because it's safe. That's my opinion anyway. |
