FCF, 1990: "Hot Girl (Waaa... Version)"

That's apparently the official title, not sure why. There's no Waluigi if that's what you're hoping for, sorry

Today's compilation:

12 by 12: The Singles 1990-1991 1991 Hi-NRG / House / Synthpop

Here's a pretty decent sampler of rare tunes from San Francisco's Megatone Records, a label that was founded by dance music legend Patrick Cowley in 1981, the year before he would tragically succumb to AIDS. When Megatone opened, it was used as an outlet for both Cowley and other dance legend Sylvester's own material, but after Cowley's passing, the label continued on and eventually diversified its roster. And this here is a collection of songs that they put out between '90 and '91.

Now, while the bulk of these tracks are hi-NRG—a post-disco type of music with stabby electronic basslines that mixed extremely well with both cocaine and sweat and was also a fixture of both gay dancefloors and fitness tapes throughout much of the 80s—I think the best track on here is, hands-down, the opener, which is a slowish and intense Balearic trip hop-breakbeat-type remix of David Diebold & Kim Cataluna's cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," done by someone named Steve Bourasa, who did a lot of work for Cali-based DJ labels at the time. Escapist strings, psychedelic vocals, some long and distorted heavy guitar chords, and an occasional infusion of Spanish guitar synth; basically the 80s-early 90s Ibiza vibe to a T. Seriously, what a tune here!

And for some of that great hi-NRG, there's a few bops on this CD, but for me, the best offering is "Let the Rhythm Move You," by Touch-N-Go, a duo who ended up only putting out two singles in 1990, before disappearing. This particular song of theirs, from its acid bassline, to its ethereal string melody, and to its clinking new wave synth stabs, sorta sounds like if New Order was fronted by a woman. Intricate, well-layered, dancy bliss.

Not all of this album seems to have stood the test of time, though. A bunch of these tracks feel a bit disposable, and there seems to be a general fondness across the board for that Art of Noise-patented technique of peppering the tunes with these sharp and choppy samples of things like hard rock and metal guitar. A lot of acts ended up doing that whole gimmick to death in the 80s and early 90s, and while it still works with some songs like INXS' "Need You Tonight," it's not a technique that seems to have really aged all that well, generally.

Still though, if you want a few sweet morsels of those electronically throbbing early 90s dance tunes that sounded like they had no intention of ever leaving the 80s, as well as a killer remix of a Jefferson Airplane cover, look no further than this release 😊.

Highlights:

Diebold & Cataluna - "White Rabbit" David Diebold & Ernest Kohl - "Dance Right Back Into Heaven (Remix)" Jo-Carol & Leo - "Jump Up for Love" Touch-N-Go - "Let the Rhythm Move You"

I don't know if anyone here is a fan of the Boys Town Gang (I get the feeling I'm the only one), but I wanted to share this early 80s disco classic that merged two Diana Ross hits.
