I suppose All Around The World (was it?) has lasted the course a bit better because it's not quite as dependent on 80s instrumentation as the Blue Zone tune.<br /><br />Yes I can go with a bit of Swing Out Sister. I like <a href="http://video.yahoo.com/watch/932797/3663943" rel="nofollow">this one</a> for example though I think it was a Dusty song originally.<br /><br />Twitter is a slippery slope!Hoops Hooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619434657999228024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19530059.post-54028717789949283252009-06-29T22:36:22.844+01:002009-06-29T22:36:22.844+01:00That Lisa Stansfield track is outrageously 80s.

This really reminded me of them, but I think it might just be those genuine 80s production values!<br /><br />Nice new look by the way.

Will have a delve in your blog.<br /><br />Strikes me a few MMP winners have gone on to almost-obscurity rather than greater things: Roni Size, Talvin Singh, even the Klaxons maybe though time will tell for them. M People kept going until 1999. I'm not saying they were any good though...Hoops Hooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619434657999228024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19530059.post-60378563881056842222009-06-25T14:22:59.045+01:002009-06-25T14:22:59.045+01:00The Mercury Music Prize has never quite recovered ...The Mercury Music Prize has never quite recovered from the 1994 debacle.
