DTMark Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I still fall for the Eurodance and cheese, this one's a classic - very "Cappella"-esque (with good reason). There's a lovely less cheesy disco mix on Tidal. tidal.com/track/28423432 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The initial build up is very special too . gets a bit orchestrally moody with the strings. Massive Attack - Massive - Unfinished Sympathy (Paul Oakenfold Mix) was around about that time, one of my top 10. i'm going to have a go at compiling a top 20 of my fave 90s dance tunes Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy (Gui Boratto Extended Edit) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHbHLhXa-Ho Edited January 21, 2017 by Saving For a Space Ship Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DTMark Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 "Touch Me" came from Media Records which was the "stable" of both Gianfranco Bortolotti and Paola Peroni, my hero Continuing that theme.. I think this one of the all-time greats. Doesn't get much more "happy" than this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DTMark Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have the vinyl of those last two - from pretty early on in the collection I actually have Jellybean's LP - Steven Dante had a gorgeous voice, always liked that one. The problem with coming up with "charts of the year" is that you end up later discovering something that should have been in there. From last year..

DTMark Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) More seriously... back to 1990.. This was produced in England for this Italian artist. I managed to get the LP from Discogs recently. Very formative. I think this is outstanding. Has entered my "chart of all time" Such lovely keyboard work. My Italian is now good enough to get most of the words. Lucio Battisti - La Sposa Occidentale (The Western Bride) Edited January 31, 2017 by DTMark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
