Is This A Trend.......a Bad One
personally I think the guys got a great voice, and the insturuments aint too bad, but as prevoiusly its a bit of an obvious choice and a bit of a cash in really, still I'd prefer it to the Shite solo record on another thread, ever likley modern soul has completly imploded.

How To Tell A Counterfeit
I was ready to slag it as over hyped and over rated, then I remembered just how good this is, tunes as good as this with as low initial pressing are truely rare indeed.

Arin Demain - Silent Treatment
remember Sam buy this again, late 9ts, early milenium and hammering it at the ritz bank holiday nighters.

Venue Memory Hitters
doug banks- 'kept on...' and howard guyton, evoke, Keele bigtime for me, 'down and out' from the soultown era of Blackburn.

Bobby Parker Passes
messers plant and page certainly owe a lot to that track and are indebted to Bobby, sad loss, and under credited guitar hero.

Instrumentals
that might make a great video, lol, but bearsy I'm mystified why, for some, soul has to be attatched to the human voice, as plaintive as it can be, certain instruments, strings, horns, guitar, piano can all resonate just as deeply. i just heard Miles Davis, 'summertime' on R2, again if thats not soul oozing from horn, what the hell is it? you'll proper think I've lost the plot now! but just listen to it, and that sound he creates makes me ache in a way that just means soul to me. otis had it, janis had it, Jimmi Hendrix and billy holliday, christ even lou reed had soul. Its not a genre for me its a feeling. and you cant attatch it to a style date or even the human voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh2QN1OoXvg

Dj Tec Q
fair do's russ, I've not had a hi fi set up at home for 20 years, but I've always had a mixer and decks, so I sposse i'm spoilt really. the qualities of frigging with the eq are much underplayed on the NS scene imho. We have loads of threads on here about cleaning records in various form but enhancing a tune with the gain and eq can be highly effective and is seldom mentioned. You cant play album cuts well unless you know how to use one either.

Instrumentals
one, maybe two per set is about right for me, i love instrumental music as much as I love voices, do they have soul? well, I can remember Frank ellison articles that bored me to tears on the subject, all I'll say can you honestly, hand on heart say this doesnt have soul????? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0MopHto_So

Raphael Saadig
thats sounds just like a smokey cut from the 6ts, outstanding deserves to be massive.

Dj Tec Q
why would anyone book someone in a modern room that couldnt use the equipment?
-
Dj Tec Q
from a DJ's perspective you should frig about with the eq, gain and volume at every possible opportunity, you cant call yourself a dj if you dont, its your job!

The Torch - How Big?
Sure I can remember the original owner talking about planning the building out by placing toy soldiers in a scale model to check capacity. It was on Evisons show years ago when he did a torch special.

Have You Shaped The Scene?
over the last 10 years fpr me its questionable if any dj has really shaped the scene, records have by and large stopped crossing over into the mainstream. there have been influencial dj's, carl heard's name is notable but the real influence comes from the promoters with the ever growing insidious creep of commerciality.

'sitting In My Class' : What Are The Kids Saying At The Beginning?
'you arent down for that thing' then 'what do I pay for that spot' could of been a board game maybe be like ' what do I pay for old kent rd' long shot but its hard to hear that single voice clearly.

What Would Have Happened If This Had Been A Hit
I can remember watchin Njoi's Saffron mining miming to anthem, thinking, this isnt right, I know that 'im in love with you' is just a sample from an old disco tune, there loads of others, there was an act on totp that ripped off that ' reach up' acca and some guy mimed it.

Northern Soul - Rare Soul
I can remember going to keele around summer 90 and loads saying 'where you been? dont tell me, you've gone raving'
-
Northern Soul - Rare Soul
We get a mix of classics followers and guys who want quality deep house, we try to strike a balance but there's more tolerance and less built up predudice to others peeps tastes

Northern Soul - Rare Soul
I got one of them and wondered the same, looks pretty obscure, fantastic track too, that sax break is wild.
-
Northern Soul - Rare Soul
after having a discussion about sasha ripping off Graeme Park with his landlord vs nicole mix recently, I had to titter, its already happening, check out the track ID's on various oldskool sites or maybe shine in leeds, or, blatant plug, lovehouse in cheshire. I even play original 12's only.
