The Rough Guide to . . .

Pulp - 'Common People'
Supergrass: 'Mansize Rooster'
Oasis: 'Live Forever'
Mansun 'Wide Open Space'
Saint Etienne - 'You're In A Bad Way'
The Nubiles - 'Layabout'
Sleeper - 'Inbetweener'
The Divine Comedy - 'Something For The Weekend'

Dubstar - 'Stars'
World Of Twist - 'Sons Of The Stage'
Denim - 'It Fell Off The Back Of A Lorry'

This is going to cause some consternation - I've tried to combine pivotal tracks from both the "first" and "second" waves of Britpop (ie 1989-92 and 1993-6), while avoiding tracks so ubiquitous to incite hatred and chuck in a couple of obscure-but-worth-seeking-out bubblers too. I've also done my best not to treat Britpop like simply a musical genre, more of a cultural/socio-political one, hence Arab Strap, Stereolab and Shampoo. I fear the track order needs a little work but I've hit the wall.

01. Motorbass 'Ezio'
02. Daft Punk 'Musique'
03. Minos Pour Main Basse (Sur La Ville) 'Le Patron Est Devene Foux!'
04. I:Cube 'Disco Cubizm (Daft Punk mix)'

09. Alex Gopher 'The Child'
10. Cassius 'La Mouche (DJ Falcon mix)'
11. Modjo 'Chillin'
12. Roy Davis Jr 'Rock Shock (Thomas Bangalter mix)'
13. DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter 'Together'
13. Lifelike 'My Precious Diamond'
14. Syndicated Peoples 'Be Right'
15. Archigram 'Carnaval'
16. Alan Braxe & Fred Falke 'Rubicon'

Also, no Micronauts? "The Jag", maybe?

1. The Blue Room
2. A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain that Rules from the
Centre of the Ultraworld

Just fits...

"New" meaning the current 'wave', so basically 98-04. In classic Rough Guide style there are a couple of 'historically interesting' tracks on there too. I think I need one or two more tracks to finish this off - any suggestions? I didn't want to have more than one track per artist, except for Britney and Xtina whose 'career arcs' are interesting and need illustrating. The UK/Euro Rough Guide is naturally forthcoming.

Britney Spears - Oops I Did It Again
*N'Sync - The Game Is Over
Christina Aguilera - Genie In A Bottle
LFO - Summer Girls
Jordan Knight - Give It To You

Can anyone help with finishing this?

A video called 'Dein Herz Schlagt Schneller' by Funf Sterne Deluxe was also getting what some like to call 'heavy rotation' back then.

I suppose one week in June 1998 isn't enough on which to base any kind of profound insight into german rap, but it's the only time I've ever encountered it.

I think I'm right in saying that nobody in the UK realises quite how bit hip-hop is in Germany - German hip-hoppers frequently collaborate with RZA, ODB, Biz Markie, Fuschnickens etc, so I guess the septics are more on point.

Side note: Dizzee Rascal would sound FUCKING PHENOMENAL if he rapped in German!

Tom: MC Tunes tracks are quite easy to find in that pre-SLSK network called OXFAM.

Scott: search "If I Knew You Were The One" by Richard Twice.

He produced all the tracks on the Fuzz Dance 4 song comp ep that came out on Sire in 84. Mya and the Mirror, Gina and the Flexix, Naif Orchestra and Alexander Robotnik.

They came out on these beautiful Fuzz Dance big 45s, the 12"s with the huge labels. I love those things.

OH MY GOD okay everyone stop what you're doing and HUNT DOWN a copy of the video to Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" THIS INSTANT. You will thank me profusely.

Yes, I second your CAPITALS! One of THE great moving musical image things ever! I can only agree based on the 40-second clip I have preserved on tape (from a disco TV special), but absolutely blow-away brilliant. The transforming powers of the disco ball!

Bless you, Michael. I was listening to "Love Stepping Out" right this second as well.

Partially inspired by same: A Rough Guide to End of a Century Contemplation From the Early Nineties:

Bark Psychosis - "Scum"
Talk Talk - "Ascension Day"
Disco Inferno - "Love Stepping Out"
Underground Lovers - "Waves"
Low - "Lullaby"
Insides - "Clear Skin"

(If that could all fit. And the two long tracks are specifically intentional choices.)

1. Model 500 - "No UFOs"
2. Rhythim Is Rhythim - "Strings of Life"
3. Inner City - "Big Fun"
4. Sueno Latino - "Sueno Latino (Mayday Mix)"
5. Reese - "Just Want Another Chance"

The Rough Guide to the Bo Diddley Beat

Rolling Stones, "Mona"
David Bowie, "Panic in Detroit"
Buzzcocks, "Pulsebeat"
Strangeloves, "I Want Candy"
Bow Wow Wow, "I Want Candy"
Elvis Costello, "Lover's Walk"
Buddy Holly & the Crickets, "Not Fade Away"
Stooges, "1969"
Husker Du, "Hare Krsna"
Clash, "Hateful"
Bruce Springsteen, "She's the One"
Smiths, "How Soon is Now"

My addition: Bo Diddley, "Bo Diddley"

If I was feeling nervy (or if I had time to actually examine it right now), I'd consider putting a Diwali-something on there too...similar enough?

Also, some of the above may be more in the range of Burundi (another potential beat-theme)...and I'm not convinced the Smiths totally fits though it's a nice bookend with "Mona."

I'm thinking Desperate Bicycles, Psykik Volts, O-Level, Swell Maps... help me out.

The Pavement one should include some Fall.

Bo Diddley beat shoul incled The Fall - 'Hey! Marc Riley', and Marc Riley & the Creepers - 'Marc Riley is a Gunslinger'

The Rough Guide to Vocoders
(or other similar robotic vocal effects incl. "talk box")

Max Matthews, "Bicycle Built for Two"
Kraftwerk: "We Are the Robots"
Peter Frampton, "Do You Feel Like We Do"
Rufus & Chaka Khan, "Tell Me Something Good"
Electric Light Orchestra, "Mr. Blue Sky"
The Buggles, "Video Killed the Radio Star"
Zapp, "More Bounce to the Ounce"
Roger, "I Want to Be Your Man"
Laurie Anderson, "O Superman"
Neil Young, "Computer Age"
Afrika Bambaataa, "Planet Rock"
New Order, "Bizarre Love Triangle" (Shep Pettibone remix)
Beck, "The Little Drum Machine Boy"
Basement Jaxx, "Rendez-Vu"
Madonna, "Nobody's Perfect"
Radiohead, "Kid A"
Daft Punk, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"
The Party Posse, "Drop da Bomb"

I can't believe there's only one electro-funk song on the rough guide to vocoders, which would have to include Wendy Carlos's Time Steps and Beethoven stuff from A Clockwork Orange, which is where it started.

Man Parrish-Heatstroke(disco mix) is THE vocoder song of all time, seconded only by the italo track Take a Chance by Mr. Flagio. Maybe not the most famous vocoder tracks, but the best. I'd also add Yellow Magic Orchestra's Behind the Max.

Rough Guide to Sparks

note, this is an actual 1 hour and 19 minutes CD I compiled prior to the release of Lil Beethoven, and now my CD burner says it's still to long to burn for some reason, but I'd hate to remove any of these, also I don't have a few of the mid to late 70s records and nothing between 86 or so and Lil Beethoven. I could definately make a great 2CD set, is Sparks a genre?-

The only person who can do a rough guide to Miami Bass is Pappawheelie. I'll page him.

Latin Freestyle should include Shannon's Let the Music Play, supposedly where they all got it from, and any number of Pretty Tony tracks. My personal nostalgia of growing up in New Jersey in the mid to late 80s would have me include Lil Suzy's Take Me In Your Arms which they used to show on the Box, but I'm not sure if it was a hit, is representative, or even any good.

Handbag House please!

I tried to do a Stock Aitken and Waterman one but didn't get far because I only know the really famous stuff.

The Velvet Underground: Waiting for the Man
Ride: Seagull
Bivouac: Good Day Song
Lush: Nothing Natural
Curve: Fait accompli
Blur: Repetition
Spiritualized: I Want You
Verve: Slide Away
My Bloody Valentine: Soon
Boo Radleys: Firesky
Ride: Leave them All Behind

Stevem stole my idea in the second post!

Thanks Dan.

For those who don't know, here's the contextual piece on the many waves of Miami Bass that I wrote:

http://www.electroempire.com/miami.htm

It's also at JahSonic, DIRTY, and a few other places with different photos. I had nothing to do with the photos.

Okay, the list, in psuedo-chrono order:

1.) T La Rock - It's Yours
2.) MC A.D.E. - Bass Rock Express
3.) 2 Live Crew - Throw the D
4.) 2 Live Crew - Get It Girl
5.) DJ KJ & Kooley C - Let's get This Party Started
6.) MC Cool Rock & MC Chaszey Chess - Creep Dog
7.) Dynamix II - Just Give the DJ a Break
8.) Afro-Rican - Give it All You Got
9.) Chilla Frauste - Get Up Get Down Get Funky Get Loose
10.) MC Zeus - It Ain't a Crime
11.) 2 Live Crew - C'mon Babe
12.) The Get Funky Crew - Shake Them Titties
13.) DJ Jealous J - DJ Wars Part 2
14.) Kid Sensation - I S.P.I.T.
15.) Kooley C & Jock D - Let's Get This Party Started (remix)

Of course, I didn't necessarily include many of the hits of the genre (Supersonic, Sally that Girl, etc.), I only went in terms of quality and evolution. I also eneded it with the highlight of the 2nd wave. I'm not much of a 3rd Wave fan, despite a small handful of good songs from that era. And lastly, many may argue that the tunes have to be from Florida to be Miami Bass. My article addresses why this is not true (if interested).

1. UNLV - 'Another Bitch'
2. Soulja Slim - 'From What I Was Told'
3. Silkk the Shocker - 'We Can Dance'
4. Juvenile - 'Solja Rag'

9. BG - 'All On U'
10. Ms. Tee ft. 5th Ward Weebie, Partners N' Crime - 'Look at Her'
11. Magnolia Shorty - 'Monkey on tha Dick'
12. Red - 'Hard Hitter'
13. Big Tymers - 'Get Your Roll On'
14. 5th Ward Weebie - 'Club Hoppers, P Poppers'
15. Tru Thug ft. Ghinn, Big Ramp, Menace - 'Five Lil Soldiers'

1. Eno - Needle in the camels eye
2. Roxy Music - The bogus man
3. Portsmouth Sinfonia - William Tell overture
4. Cluster and Eno - Wehrmut
5. Fripp/Eno - Heavenly music corporation
6. David Bowie - Sound and vision
7. Devo - Jocko homo
8. Talking Heads - Once in a lifetime
9. Eno/Budd - An arc of doves

13. James - Sometimes.
14. Suede - Eno's introducing the band
15. Passengers - Miss Sarajevo
16. Michael Brook - Ultramarine
