Hmm. Earlier thread got me to download "19". It *is* an under-rated classic. But what about the rest of his Adult Oriented Electro?

"19" was his pinnacle, IMHO. But it's worth looking for the "Rain Forest" album only to see the most hilarious pose by an artist in his/her/their album cover in the history of music.

Nineteen. Nanananana-nineteen, in Vietnam he was nineteen. Definitely a classic!

C-c-c-c-c-c-c...c-c-c-c- um, maybe dud. Only heard the two songs, "19" and "The Asylum (Itz Weird)" and they were both pretty much of a piece, and had a fairly short shelf life. Innovative, I suppose.

Its now the 25th anniversary since the release of 19, only this time the documentary I am watching is about the British soldiers who would be serving in Afghanistan. I hear the words I looked at my Men, The average age was 19, my god Im taking boys to war, It was unbelievable, almost the same words that gave me the original idea to record 19, this was all sounding too familiar.

I had it in my mind to do a remix for the 25th anniversary of the original track but after hearing that, I felt it would almost be an insult not to mention the British and others, who have lost their lives in recent years whilst doing their duty so I rewrote the song completely.

This time the song is written from the perspective of how I would see things if I was in the position of a young Soldier being sent off to war.

weirdly i picked up this dude's eponymous debut solo album from a charity shop at the weekend. always had a soft spot for 'don't waste my time' but listening to it now, it hasn't really stood up very well. there are a couple of half decent tunes - 'moonhopper' and 'rainforest' - kind of like the missing link between herbie hancock and 808 state's 'pacific'. but even those are a bit limp and noodly. worst thing by a long shot is the dreadful 'just for money' featuring really cringey spoken word appearances by bob hoskins and laurence olivier, so bad.

the best ph stuff i have heard is the first light/direct drive material. these are both great tunes:
