...i wonder if anyone could comment or shed some light on an old 12" that i found the other day. i sometimes make a habit of trolling the used soul and rock vinyl bins in out the way record stores - you'd be amazed what you can find sometimes. in this case i was in the rasputin's in beautiful downtown pleasant hill, california. along with some $1 morris day and the time twelves (ahem), i found an old sylvester record. its a double a side 12" on "megatone records," apparently based in the castro in san francisco. its dated 1985. one side is "take me to heaven," the other side is called "sex." now, its definitely inna '80s eurodisco stylee - cheap unsequenced drum machine programs and live synth playing. the production is by "ken kessie and morey goldstein" (?) with remix by "ian levine" (???). really really long tracks with typical campy sylvester vocals, but tons of great '80s synth basslines and over-the-top linndrum drumrolls to sample. the funny part is that "take me to heaven" is ludicrously fast for a disco record. i played it with house and it came in at -8, so i'm guessing its close to 140bpm (but with sylvester being the way he is, at -8 he sounds just fine).
anyway, anyone know what the deal with this record is? who are these people? who the heck is "megatone records"? i've seen one other record on megatone and it was a patrick cowley production, something i-f would drop. sorry for the sorta non-313 content... -eli On Fri, Nov 02, 2001 at 10:51:58AM -0500, Sean Deason wrote: > Sounds like Sylvester. but dont you mean "...mighty real"?? > sean deason > > -----Original Message----- > From: Samuel Hobbs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 10:49 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [313] song id > > > just wondering if anyone can remember the name of the > disco singer that sang the song that goes "you make me > feel...sooooo real!" i think it is on salsoul > records. > -sam > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Find a job, post your resume. > http://careers.yahoo.com > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
