    Spurred on by the success of Hoodoo’s childhood fascination, I gunna trying to find out WTF I was listen to in the 80’s…

    I believe it was an famous/large (now obscure) 80’s english indie band, but the only proper clue I have for you to go on was that the album included a song with the Martin Luther king jr “I have a dream” audio clip

    ….it was my brothers tape (remember them?) so I didn’t acquire it myself, hence no idea of what the name was (when ask he just answers “huh?”), but it bugs me regularly.

    Any idea’s?

    Just listened to Big Audio Dynamite: E=MC2, and see what you mean about the samples, not sure this is the band I’m looking for though, as I don’t remember any other use of samples & suggest it would be early 80’s (pre 86 @ a guess)

    DD, being a child of the 70’s I know every ABBA song, so would remember that..
    Malvern Rider, “english” band.. but thanks for the suggestions, as my google-fu has failed me.

    I do believe we have may well have a winner… Sadexpunk, OMD’s “Southern” makes a lot of sense even if the tune isn’t ‘that’ familiar, I shall acquire a copy of the album and see. It’s only been a couple of month since I got their “Singles” for likes of Tesla girls 😀

    I was flicking through youtube the other day and came across trans-x living on video, that brought back memories! The 80s was a great decade for music, but maybe not for hairdo’s.

    Man I’m enjoying this album “OMD’s: The Pacific Age”, again can’t say I remember it much, but it has to be the one I’ve been looking for (for 20ish years)

    Again thanks sadexpunk & resource that is STW!
