What you thinking - absolutely nothing!


This was the video of our generation and we often used to play it at parties after a great nights clubbing.

We'd get the video out and put this into the VHS and be mesmerised by the video, watching it over and over.

Flowered Up - were certainly a key part of the whole Indie Dance generation of the early 90's. 

Whilst it was mainly centred around the Manchester/Northern scene and the Roses, Mondays, Inspirals, Northside, The Farm, The La's etc. Flowered Up were the London response and they did produce some quality tracks.

This was by far their best track and still sounds absolutely fantastic, this version still blows my socks off, remixed by the legend that is Lord Sabre (aka Andy Weatherall) - over 17 mins long but ever so epic.

A defining moment in club history and still the greatest music video ever made!

The best bit of the video for me was the "What you thinking - absolutely nothing!" bit, which just captured the scene.

Have a good time!

And now ladies and gentlemen - what you've been waiting for!

I've always been a huge fan of Saint Etienne and Messrs Wiggs and Stanley were most certainly creative music genii. 

Add Sarah Cracknell's heavenly vocals and you have pop music perfection.

This track is probably more Indie Dance, then club dance floor, but in my view it is better than all the house mixes and the MAW remixes didn't really add anything other than a 4-4 beat.

I've never felt so good, I've never felt so strong!

Glorious - Indie Dance at it's finest!

We blew your mind!


 I always loved the Primals and have seen them live many times.

They are always chaotic, yet superb and Bobby G is a great front man.
Screamadelica was one of the great albums of our generation and one I played to death.
Whilst their tracks were more indie-dance than pure club, dropped at the right time in a set they could still be devastating.
This was one of my faves from Screamadelica.
I just love everything about it, the guitars, the piano, the sitar, the oriental feel, the sleazy Bobby G vocals and of course Mr Weatherall's fantastic remix/production.

Does anyone else thing Bobby sings, "Trip, Trip, Trip inside?"

How low can you go?

Probably less well known and probably not quite as good as the other two Gary Clail tracks posted on the blog, but an excellent piece of Indie Dance from 1990 all the same.

Great remix by Oakey and Osborne, very typical of many of their Indie Dance remixes of that era, laced with just enough piano to give that extra bit of kick.

Definitely a track for the Vegans out there.

Beef; how low can you go, hear the cattle cry; death row!

How Soon?


More groovilicious delight from the Legend that was Andrew Weatherall (R.I.P).

Transforming a pretty damn good indie band into a dancefloor smash.

Andy was the master at that.

This was all ground-breaking stuff at the time.

Indie dance as we know and love it!

Groove on!

Something wrong with Human Nature?

Alright peeps, apologies about the lack of activity recently.
Here we are back with a bang.
Probably slightly more on the indie-dance vibe, than a true club track.
A top track mind.
Oakey/Osbourne on the mix.
I think this also made the Top 40, oops losing my cred posting pop tracks!
