At one time it looked like Republica would be the next big thing, but it didn't quite happen.
Saffron (Samantha Sprackling) the lead singer had real star quality.
Get on it!
Republica - Ready To Go
(Original Extended Mix)
Lil Louis - Blackout
(Phase 1 - Original 1989 Mix)
Lyrics below;
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leaded me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in a path of righteousness
For His name's sake
Yeah
Though I walk to the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff comfort me
Thou prepares a table before me, in the presence of my enemies
Thou anoints my head with oil, my cup's runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the House of the Lord
Forever
Imagine this, the lights in the universe are all on
And at the flick of God's switch, all the lights in the world are all out
Yeah
You can run, but you can't hide
Because if we don't change quick, it's coming, a world eclipse
Black Out
The lights come on
The lights go off
Black out, at the flick of God's switch
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
And the earth was without form and void
And darkness was above the face of the deep
And the spirits of God moved upon the face of the waters
And God said "let there be light", and there was light
The lights come on
The lights go off
Black out, at the flick of God's switch
The Lord is alpha and omega
The beginning and the ending
Do you believe?
For God's so loved the earth, that he gave his only son
Are you listening?
The lights come on
The lights go off
Black out, at the flick of God's switch
And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal
And Lord there was a great earthquake
And the sun became black a sackcloth of hair
And the moon became as blood
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even as
A fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together
And every mountain and island were moved out of their place
Think about it
If the Lord built the world in just 6 days
How long do you think it will take him to demolish it?
The lights come on
The lights go off
Black out, at the flick of God's switch
Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul
O my God, I trust in thee, let me not be shamed
Let not my enemies triumph over me
He is the light and my salvation whom shall I fear
He is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid
But fear not after the blackout the meek and humble shall inherit the earth
The question is are you meek and humble?
The lights come on the lights go off
Do you know the 10 commandments?
Read Exodus quick
Learn cause it is coming
Black out at the flick of God's switch
Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand
Imagine this the lights in the universe are all on
And at the flick of God's switch
All the lights in the world are all out
Yeah
You can run but you can't hide
Because if we don't change quick, it's coming a world eclipse
Black Out
The truth is now, don't wait, too late to wake up
For as it is written
Eyes have not seen nor ears heard
Neither have entered into the heart of man
The things that God had prepared for them that love him
Are you listening?
Top notch track and a superb remix by Jon DaSilva.
A big Hacienda anthem and rightly so, it has so much energy and feel.
Pure class.
Enjoy!
A Certain Ratio - 27 Forever
(DaSilva's Soundstation Fix Mix)
This has a slightly softer side with the female vocal, but is top drawer all the same.
A great Lange remix.
Get on it!
Rhythm Of Life - You Put Me In Heaven With Your Touch
(Lange Remix)
Superb old house track which dates back to 1985, hence one of the very first Chicago house tracks.
Still sounds top notch 35 years on.
"Ooh I love it!"
Yes indeed!
Enjoy!
Mark Imperial - J'adore Danser
( Club Mix )
This was a huge track back int'day in 1989.
A little commercial and possibly a bit too cheesy for the purists, but nonetheless a very catchy little track, with some quality piano thrown in for good measure.
Come on let's work!
Cappella - Helyom Halib
Those guys were different class and they created some amazing nights at Vague in Leeds.
Great memories.
This track epitomises their totally off the wall Balearic stylee!
Dave & Ansell Collins - Double Barrel
There are Brothers In Rhythm and Sasha remixes of this track, but both pale in insignificance to this epic masterpiece.
Those of who who follow the PCC blog will be well aware of my penchant for Jimmy Gomez remixes and I'm glad to report this is right up there with the best of them.
It takes you on the usual journey and is laden with spine-tingling piano.
Pure class, over and over, over, over!
Horse - Careful
(Jimmy Gomez Club Mix)
Top quality piano track from back int'day.
Always enjoyed hearing this and it still sounds great.
Those lyrics "People of all nations dancing together" were the epitome of Acid House and the Club scene.
Peace out!
Smallage - Together
(Club Version)
A real house classic and one which should have been much bigger.
The vocals are superb and the track has such a fantastic feel to it.
Absolute top notch house classic.
Enjoy!
Romance - All Dis Music
(Club Mix)
Everything about this track oozes class.
Superb vocals, fantastic production and some delightful piano thrown in for good measure.
Produced by The Beloved which explains why it has such a beautiful glowing feel to the track.
A true PCC!
Enjoy!
Alison Limerick - Love Come Down
(Club Vocal Mix)
A quality little piano stomper.
Please don't try the version with vocals (now that is cheesy).
This is a quality little track though!
Enjoy!
Mystify – Come To The Party
(Dub Mix)
This one goes way back, back all the way to 1986.
An absolute classic which still sounds amazing today.
Pure quality.
Let's get "brutal with the millimeters"???
Nitro Deluxe - Lets Get Brutal
(U.S. Version)
Always tinged with lots of great piano.
This is no exception.
Not quite as instant as "Let Love Shine".
A quality little PCC all the same.
Enjoy!
Amos - Only Saw Today
(Cleveland City Club Mix)
Lots of acid thrown in and some excellent piano.
Such energy about this track.
It was a big one back in early days of Acid House!
Baby Ford - Oochy Koochy
(F U Baby Yeh Yeh Konrad Cadet Mix)
I can't believe it hasn't been posted until now.
Top drawer Italian House piano classic.
Jam the Dance indeed.
Love this.
Enjoy!
