Tune association thread…it's friday and i'm bored

The original of the above samples MJ’s Thriller.

And from MJs Thriller back to justice’s remix of Thriller

.

Another Jackson – Jackson & His Computer Band – Utopia

Why is that track strangely familiar, and i dont own it or have not heard of them before?

Computer – IBM – The idot/Genius that is Johann Johannsson

and some info on this concept album if interested?

http://www.ausersmanual.org/

Inspired by a recording of an IBM mainframe computer which Jóhann’s father, Jóhann Gunnarsson, made on a reel-to-reel tape machine more than 30 years ago, the piece was originally written to be performed by a string quartet as the accompaniment to a dance piece by the choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir. For the album version, Jóhann rewrote the entire score, and it was recorded by a sixty-piece string orchestra. He also added a new final section and incorporated electronics alongside those original tape recordings of the singing computer.

it was seeing this on mtv (on holiday in spain in early 90’s)that got me into them :D

I can make it available :wink: … Was pretty big in the “underground music scene” a while back. Hardly dated that album.

Was it in an advert recently?

from big money to big fish

Not that I know of. Doesn’t mean it hasn’t been though. What was the last track btw? Can’t see the YouTube link on the iPad.

That jackson tune was in an O2 ad

Right, off to find something that isn’t A-Ha to link to!

Take on Me -> Take Me Home by A.Human (with some nice dancing.)

That Johann Johannsson is very cultured. Might have to give that a listen while working :-)

That jackson tune was in an O2 ad

excellent I knew I had heard it somewhere, 10 points to you, you dont win anything though!

Take me Home – take me to the hospital. (Sub Focus remix)

Hospital -> Alex Winston – Medicine

[edit] finally listened to Johansson above – superb

Still one of my fave tracks from the “Mary-Anne Hobbs era” (as I like to call it)
Medicine8 – Capital Rocka

Star***** -> Star Slinger – Elizabeth Fraser (hmm, I wonder what that could be followed with)

Slackers!
Ok, seeing as I’m feeling mushy this morning, Liz Fraser features on this Craig Armstrong track “This Love”

DAMMIT! :D

Stars -> Explosions in the sky – First breath after coma

RIGHT – same band, but a link to This Love as it was (apparently) in the soundtrack of Love Happens

Explosions in the sky – Your hand in mine

Ha! Monday morning simul-typing eh!?

Explosions -> Bomb -> Bomb Zombies – Wednesday

Zombie Nation – Chick Flick. Bleeptastic!

Chicks on Speed (for Plumber ;-) )
Euro Trash Girl

Ive missed this week, new job and limited internets etc

chicks – chicken – Thunder Chicken The Mighty Imperials, for all the funkmaniacs.

Chicken-Bone Circuit – RJD2

Unsure of the genre, slightly scared it might be jazz (fear jazz!)… RJD2, towards the outer edge of hip-hop.

Jazz trance link from Nick’s post in this thread…

More Chicken

Chicken -> Bird -> Two Wounded Birds – Night Patrol

The elusive and captivating Lone Pigeon, spotted live last night at a church hall on Leith Walk. Opened with a 40 minute piano and kazoo composition. Quite spectacular, if slightly shambolic.

Ah thread, good to see you back :-)
Picking ‘Blue’ from the last title, gives so many options!
I’ll go for Suuns – Organ Blues cos I missed seeing them live earlier this year and was a bit annoyed.

Organs have keyboards. Money Mark repaired a keyboard for one of his albums, an album which heavily featured an organ I believe…

The track is called ‘Insects are all around us’

Pretty sure it’s Money Mark on this. Hope so, or I’ve broked the link!
Beastie Boys – Watcha Want

(Great track Yeti. What album?)

Mark’s Keyboard Repair. Released on MoWax in ’95 I believe. The whole thing is a corker and so much stuff I hear nowadays reminds me of it.

I’m sure he’ll have been on that Beastie Boys track so the link works.

pharcyde drop – beastie boy and spike jonze etc.

Kewl :-)

you beat me to the beastie boys

Brother -> Sister and keeping on a DnB tip
Bad Company – Synthetic Sister

Synthetic Sister -> Chemical Brother(s) – Leave Home

Glasser – Home
