Hey all -- right now I am working on straightening out the publishing on this -- it was co-written by me and the fantastic singer, Andy Caine, to an Isley Bros. sample! Ciao 4 now, Vivien Goldman

My problem with these Main Street releases, as good as they are, is that there are so many US tracks which came before which don't get the same level of exposure.

…At the risk of coming over all Pipecock…

thee vivien goldman???? curiouser and curiouser.

But apparently it is.

it makes sense (just about). andy caine was in jam on the mutha who did a godawful candyflip style cover of hotel california. jam on the mutha were on wau! mr. modo who released maurizio's ploy and had lots of connections with moritz van oswald going back to his teutonic beats pop dance act - marathon. he must have met andy caine back then. the vivien goldman thing has lost me though.

Cover of Seven Days!

My god, the Jam On The Mutha Eagles cover :/

Orb remix is bearable though.

and had lots of connections with moritz van oswald going back to his teutonic beats pop dance act - marathon.

I always thought it was just a sample of Cuba Gooding on "Movin'", since they use a bit of "Happiness is Just Around the Bend" (the same bit used by Nightmares on Wax a year later on "Aftermath", by the way - I wonder if that is a coincidence?), but apparently it's Caine singing it? Now that I think of it, it doesn't actually sound like Gooding... Anyway, the Marathon tracks are great pieces of early German house, not "pop dance".

i love all the marathon records, especially movin' but it definitely ain't house. it's pop dance all the way.

Thanks for the knowledge last night. Got to agree that Marathon would certainly kill the mood in any house set, it's borderline baggy innit.

Hmm, that doesn't sound at all like the version I have... The one that was released on the "Teutonic Beats 2" comp. That one is much more minimal and housier.

(x-post)

This is the version:

For whatever reason it's credited to "His Name is Dime", not Marathon, though there's a Marathon track on the same comp.

ok. this is youth remix and was the one that got the most plays (at least in the uk) so is what springs to my mind when i think of this track but yr right the original teutonic beats version is more house.

xp

Though apparently "Movin'" came out as a single in 1990, whereas "Teutonic Beats 2" is 1989. So maybe the His Name Is Dime version is the original one? Who knows...

(xx-post)

yes, the his name is dime must be the original. i was massively into all the teutonic beats stuff at the time but apart from westbam, the remix of movin' and the delkom related releases is all seems to have vanished from my memory.

the Moritz mix of "Movin'" is called the "Marathon Club Mix" and is pretty different from the rest.

it's 3:43 if you're looking around, kinda hard to find

The Delkom LP has been reissued in France, by the way:

I got it a while ago, it's pretty hard to take that stuff for the length of a full album, but "Don't Let Music Distract You From Dancin'" and "Viva la Droga" are awesome.

i have the lp which is annoyingly megamixed but there's some great stuff on there.

this one is another fave -

do tell

Yeah those main street releases really over saturated the market...

At the risk of building a strawman I guess I’m talking about the more techno-centric listener who will own those Main Street releases without really paying attention to things such as Strictly Rhythm, jersey house, Prescription and things of that ilk.

Perhaps I’m just projecting my own experience of hearing those Main Street releases first before discovering US stuff like it after.

can see the above being the case at points in the past but people love Prescription these days!

That’s true.

Ah yes. There is something so spare about main mixes of Round One and Round Two that US the NY/NJ sound and Prescription don't match. I'm interested in hearing some more stuff like that if y'all have any recommendations.

yeah, as a big fan of the main street series, esp. the andy caine ones, I'd love to hear more of that ilk. In fact it's too bad there aren't more Von Oswald productions in the vocal house style.

but in the US soulful vocal plus minimal upbeat techno vibe:

I’m actually really struggling to think of anything at the moment, all my records are in storage for a couple of months so I can’t refresh my memory. But, I guess I’m talking about a lineage that starts with ‘Promised Land‘, although obviously there’s not too many tunes with that level of exposure.
