If you have a spare hour, this is well worth a listen. A reminder of why Sheffield would have been the biggest city in music if people only got the South Yorkshire mentality.

http://www.noiseheatpower.com/godsarticle.htm

Human League and Cabaret Voltaire re-inventing pop music in the early 80s and giving the signpost for where electronic pop music would go. Heaven 17 - South Yorkshire's Wham with irony. And ability. Pulp combining the sharpest of social commentary with the Scott Walker-esque pop perfection. The coolest, most listenable experimental Warp/FoN scene.

And as the writer says, there has never been a more shimmering pop song in history than All of My Heart.

Grand.

Songs linked to something very interesting I have heard. Situation might be delicate at the moment so rather than speculate futher lets work on the basis of hush hush if you get it forget it.

One of the first Albums I ever bought. Loved this track, I got a synth for Christmas (Jen SX1000) and drove everyone mad playing along, badly, to this.  (Not this christmas, back in the 80's)

Beady Eye's new album is worth the £8 I paid on iTunes.

I suppose this lad is the latest in that line, he is big friends with people like Winston Hazel. (he is the slightly geeky looking kid with shaggy hair)

Fairly standard dance/pop if you ask me.

He is though undeniably influenced by what goes in London and probably Atlanta for that matter. A couple of decades ago a city like Sheffield could have it's own music scene and sound. I'm not sure it is sufficiently cut off from the world to really develop it's own thing nowadays.

You have to have a sufficient number of people who can understand how to play music too!

It sounds like bog standard Italian House from the late 80s RD. The keyboard right and left hand lines being copies of each other at a couple of octaves apart. If that's the best that Sheffield's bright young things are doing, it's miles away from the revolutionary stuff in the 80s.

I guess you're right about the all-pervading influence of instantly accessible music. Simon Reynolds in the Melody Maker in the late 80s saw it coming. He called it The Excess of Access and predicted that it would f**k up originality in music. Matt Johnson in The The summed it up more eloquently a decade or so back:

http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Global+Eyes/1WSXT9?src=5

"Globalise, Hypnotise, Homogenise.
Kentucky Fried Genocide"

The finest lyrics in the history of music. I've never been able to work out whether Matt Johnson is a genius or a raving f**king headjob.

To be fair to him I think that track is probably not representative, its meant to be a homage to the rave scene. It isn't a very clever take on it, if you ask me.

I think he's more squelchy big distorted electronic baselines. Albeit with that standard high tempo Jamaican dancehall breakbeat. You might just about see a link to the likes of Forgemasters... Maybe.

Actually I heard some new Forgemasters stuff quite recently on Radio Sheffield, it sounded alright. I can't find anything of it online. There is this set.

They still sound like Occasions club in 1990, which I think is a very good thing.

I think I've only just found this famed album until now, but I've started to listen to Tubular Bells (bit late I know), especially for running/biking. The bit from about 15mins til the end with all the instruments is proper bo

For some reason Firefox won't let me post YouTube links, so let's try Chrome.

I be listening to a bit of this:

I personally like power ballads. I think Heart - Alone is the greatest song ever written.

They are so wrought with passion and emotion - I would recommend anyone to go to an "Ultimate Power" night, they are unbelievable.

Who couldn't like a type of song which encompasses:
- Crashing drum fill, ideally in the bar before each chorus.  Absolute pre-requisite for the build-up to any key change.
- Soaring vocals that build throughout the song
- One or more instrumental solos.  The more elaborate the better.  If the solo is, essentially, unnecessary and self-congratulatory then all the better.
- Several moments where you just can't help but clench your fist as the only means of conveying how the song makes you feel.

PS Contrary to what the above suggests I am not a homosexual.
