watching 'i got mashed in 1992' on mtv dance the thought occured that my god what a great song 'take my advice' by kym sims was. i mean 'too blind to see it' was ace and all, but this follow up was considered a bit of a flop i think (top 20 for a week?)
i'm sure everyone has a favourite lost/forgoten house pop classic.

a 'rough guide' if ever one was needed.

Barefoot In The Head - A Man Called Adam

Rhythm On The Loose 'Break Of Dawn' (original mix)
Xray Xperiments 'Take No Chance'
Pin Up Girls 'Take Me Away'
YBU 'Keep It Up'
One Tribe 'What Have You Done'
Cedric Winkelberger 'Take It Easy'
Kariya 'let Me Love You For Tonight'
Debbie Malone 'Rescue Me' (killer bassline)
Krush 'House Arrest'
Electribe 101 'Tell Me When The Fever Ended'

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

This is, like, my favorite genre (or at least the one that provokes the most hard-hitting nostalgia). Steve "Silk" Hurley owns it. If I had to pick one, it'd be Tene Williams' "Give Him a Love He Can Feel," even though the tempo doesn't necessarily qualify it as house.

'Aint no love (ain't no use)' - Sub Sub

Incognito - Always There
De'Lacy - Hideaway (Deep Dish Remix)
Duke - So In Love With You
Livin' Joy - Dreamer
Gala - Freed From Desire
Ultra Naté - Free (Mood II Swing Mix)

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:00 (twenty-one years ago)

...the early '90s now defined as '88 ('House Arrest') to '96 ('Hiedeaway')...

― Vasquesz, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:02 (twenty-one years ago)

(hmm those last few tracks are kind of ignoring the "forgotten" criterion)

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, 'Hideaway' is '94 - but then Gala is '97.
And indeed, not exactly 'forgotten' either.

How's about "Is there anybody out there" by Bassheads though?

― Vasquesz, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

new atlantic - i know

Atlantic Ocean: "Body in Motion" & "Music is a Passion"

Congress, "40 Miles", first dance record I ever bought, sigh.

there is a REALLY GOOD funky US house style remix of 'Freed From Desire' that i'm trying to ID but it's proving very tough - i don't suppose anyone owns the single?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Ultra Nate 'It's Over'

Not by me. That was fab.

― LondonLee (LondonLee), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

The only other thing that comes to mind is Seduction -- You're My One and Only True Love. I have the single on vinyl from back in the day (and I still spin it from time to time).

I do but there's no remixes on that one. However, Discogs is your friend.

Luv Dancing - Underground Solution
Go Go / Lies - Oval Emotion

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

ah NOW we're talking - i HAD forgotten that Simone one

how about Aftershock 'Slave To The Vube' and Gloworm's 'I Lift My Cup' and 'Carry Me Home' tho?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

"Carry Me Home" is awesome! I just listened to it a couple of weeks ago. Mixing gospel and house was a truly fruitful idea, those genres have much in common. Too bad this didn't out to be a full-blown subgenre, even an atheist like me would've enjoyed it.

BOOHOOHOOIWASSOHAPPY...

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 10:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't like 'Carry Me Home' - at that time i hated gospel vocals with house beats (see also Sounds Of Blackness 'Pressure', Degrees Of Motion 'Shine On' and Secret Life's 'Love So Strong' and 'Always Be' - the latter ripping Stevie Wonder's 'As')
altho 'Slave To The Vibe' was alright

Tim otm - '100% Pure Love' is Crystal Waters second best song ;)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 10:39 (twenty-one years ago)

...and the heavily re-worked Gumbo Mix of "100% Pure Love" is also bloody marvellous. Forgotten and lost indeed...

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Don Pablo's Animals and their covers of 'Venus' and 'Long Train Running' - they're not very good tho really are they?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 11:40 (twenty-one years ago)

JT & The Big Family's 'Moments In Soul' on the other hand...

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Electribe 101 'Tell Me When The Fever Ended'

This is a house classic and not just a quirky gem or anything, the vocal is pretty stunning. Totally essential.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

as is 'Talking With Myself' really

but does anyone have the 'The Brits 1990' megamix as an mp3?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Bizz Nizz 'Don't Forget The Partyline'
Megabass 'Time To Make The Floor Burn'
