Been on and off the Forum lately so I'm not sure if this has been covered. Apologies if it has.

I stumbled on a very interesting piece of work from an outfir calling themselves Casino. They're making what they call modern northern soul. You can hear a track on line.

I think it's great.

The song is nondescript but the sample from What About The Music is good. In fact, it's What About The Music part 2

Agree it's not a great song - but what a good groove! I'm just talking about it from a musical perspective - not suggesting it might fly on the scene. Though who knows? And it's obviously done with some love.

There's a sample from the Gallop too isn't there?

Col

very good,what else have they done?

God thats shit,even i would be hard pressed to do worser

it's good to see someone is trying to push the scene forwards (or backwards) at least pull it out of stagnation. not exactly my cup of tea but i hear worse almost every weekend at various venues.

Sound like Dexy's Midnight Runners!

Col.

For goodness sake get him to post them I don't believe our music to be akin to holy relics and therefore sacred and untouchable. It's just music. Good, bad, indifferent... sometimes sublime.

I still think the Casino thing is interesting even if the song itself is messy.

Certainly better than Wigans ovation et al. And your right about The Gallop sample at the end.Quite enjoyed it

I thought that tune was going to explode into something great but it cut off... I'm going to buy the CD because I think it might be interesting.

Colin.. that Party Time Man track... I've got it by the Futures if you want that one, however, it's just as dire

You have to hear the Catalinas version though, its side splitting!

Ref Casinos track, now heard it. My thoughts are fair play to them for giving it a whirl. Not my cuppa T - but then it was never meant to be for old soulies.

Perhaps they should team up with these

not bad imo, though at first the scene from the film Blue Juice did spring to mind

Seems to work and then again because it's made now it dosn't!

Am I being peevish?

Don't see that as peevish at all. I agree.

My feeling is that it's probably not aimed at "us". The thinking might be, well if Northern Souls was being made right now, with today's technology and recording techniques, then this is one way it might sound.

I just think it's interesting, but I do believe it was done with some passion and respect.
