don't know if this one has been posted
but it's the one that's my favourite individual one probably, or it's neck and neck with that bovel one....
it's the instrumental used for almost all of this broadway sound one that has the really good toasting over the top

maybe cuz it was pre-autotune. we've grown so accustomed to it that natural vocals sound can heavenly. I've never liked autotune, but now I simply can't take it, totally ruins any song for me. I can't heard the song, only the fucking horrible autotune. fuck autotune.
yeah possibly... there's gotta be tunes where they don't autotune although now, thinking about it, you're probably right. probably everything gets a little bit of treatment.
i was thinking it could be because of the era coinciding with my early teenage years... those voices and also the tempo, it's very burned into me i think. what i used to hear on the streets, out of cars, at an age when it was very impressionable perhaps. it reminds me of older sisters getting ready and stuff.
i dunno, possibly not, but i think there's something in that adage that gets thrown about, about how your musical tastes are defined to a degree by what you like or what is around you at specific adolescent ages.

This is news to me but if you're going to throw the gauntlet down...

going off on a bit of a tangent here but...
i feel like some of these Manchester ones, particularly
sit nice alongside these other manchester ones
obviously there's some key differences, but it's the same places - hulme/moss side/SoMa (South Manchester) generally.
it's this other side to Manchester, this delicate, somewhat melancholy, ethereal voice over something very sparse, almost not there.
You're in those close streets, small flats, looking over to the city. There's all this wasteland about. There's a lot of good parties.
It's a different mood to the bombastic swagger mode also associated with Manchester.
Direct line, for me, to early Autechre really
although they're North Manc, so different place really. Maybe I've got that part wrong.
Still there in people like currentmoodgirl and IAMDDB

You cannot underestimate the importance of the Reno club on Princess Road Moss Side and the influence it had on the soul scene in Manchester - Persian, Hewan Clarke ( took over from Persian), and Tom Lyn ( played The Kitchen on Charles Barry Crescent, Hulme ) all played tunes that were smooth as fuck.. early 80s, but probably shaped the taste of a generation.

Weird to see flying lotus in there, but that is a wicked tune and the cross-pollination aspect of USA/UK is a big thing to acknowledge. Makes me very proud how you get that here, in a way i think you don't elsewhere.
Might have to rejoin spotify if you and craner are gonna keep posting these mega lists of soulful classics

Thanks for the tip about the George Best book - just ordered it. Gordon Burn's book on Peter Sutcliffe mentions the Reno in passing - one of his victims was a regular. The Reno had a "reputation".. totally illegal operation, open until 6 in the morning..
yeah it's a decent read and Burn does his usual thing of massively expanding from the scope of his original investigations to take in a whole lot of stuff about Hulme and Whalley Range. There's another part of the book where he picks up the Edwards story in Dudley and it's very good writing, just talking about what the place has become.

Foot Patrol cutting shapes! There were a few of these dance crews in Hulme and Moss Side back then..
( Foot Patrol are the ones in the white Tee Shirts with one brace )

it's one of those where you have the video, the time, the place, and you are like wtf is going on. seems unreal.
the baggy jumpers, the feel of "how do you dance to this".
and that tune that comes in at 2:09 and repeats after, that girls circling shout... anyone know what that is? (not the adonis track before)
it's like voodoo ray and then into rhythmn and gash.
i'd like to join a morris dancing troupe someday - i reckon similar vibe
