is mj cole's 'crazy love' considered sugary? (probably not, it's more of a fructose kind of internal sweetness than a jube with visible granular sugar coating.) even so, i like it lots

"can't seem to make you mine" by the seeds.

Sweet Female Attitude - Flowers (Sunship Remix) owns this thread, but the B15 project girls like this comes close. also bump'n'flex's promises, if that counts?

Not even close to being as good, but far more sugary: I, um, quite like that Victoria Beckham/Dane Bowers/True Steppers track. *ducks*

Minna, I never saw the video for "Summer Jam", what was it like?

I also forgot to include David Howard's "U & I", which is one of the most amazing mixes of pure sugar and "oh fuck did you hear that beat?" ever.

― Tim, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Summer Jam certainly. The garage element is utterly subordinate to the super-compressed and sheened and somewhat sickeningly seductive vocals.

You are talking about different kinds of "garage music". The Seeds and ? and the Mysterians by one side; Dreem Teem and MJ Cole by the other one.

― salvador, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why are they different?

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you kidding? Have you ever listened to The Seeds? Have you ever listened to The Dreem Teem? There are two musical genres called "garage". The 60's "garage rock" and an electronic sub-genre that is near to soul sounds.

― salvador, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Salvadore, I think Sterling's making a different point about the two styles of music in question.

And anyway, the final part of your statement isn't really true Anyone who tells you uk garage is "near to soul sounds" is revisionist and has listened to "Battle" far too many times.\

Although that reminds me - Wookie's "What's Going On" is sho' nuff sugary.

― Tim, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the video for 'summer jam' is a cross between beverly hills 90210 (pre 'the college years'), and one of those late night chat hotline ads.

― minna, Saturday, 13 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, Tim, you're right. I just used the word "near to soul sound" to give an idea of the kind of music I was talking about. Of course, it's a simplification.

― salvador, Saturday, 13 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

60s Garage used soul vocals and electronic guitars.
