KLF - The White Room (Album) 1991 eurodance 90's classic dance anthems




-
The KLF (also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelords and other names) were one of the seminal bands of the British acid house movement during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Beginning in 1987, Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) released hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, and on one occasion (the British number one hit single "Doctorin' the Tardis")
as The Timelords.

The abbreviation of the band has long been a mystery; however in a interview in Wired 2010 Bill revealed it to stand for "Kentucky Liberation Front", meant as a satire of the United States as the band saw it at the time.

The KLF released a series of international top-ten hits on their own KLF Communications record label, and became the biggest-selling singles act in the world for 1991

The duo also published a book, The Manual,
and worked on a road movie called The White Room.

Depeche Mode 'Get The Balance Right' (12'' Maxi) 1983 electro disco 80's [South African Edition] "Hard-To-Find" RARE



TRACKLISTING
1.  Get The Balance Right (Combination 12'' Mix) (8.00)  1983
2.  The Great Outdoors! (5.02)  1982
3.  Tora! Tora! Tora! (4.28)  1982
4.  Get The Balance Right! (Single Edit) (3.12)  1983
"Get the Balance Right!" is the seventh single by Depeche Mode, originally released on 31 January 1983. It is the first Depeche Mode single with Alan Wilder as an official band member, and the first with a song written by both Martin Gore and Wilder ("The Great Outdoors!").

In the music video Wilder lip-syncs the first lines of the song, even though Dave Gahan should be singing it. The band were too afraid to tell the director that Gahan was the lead singer.
 For some reason the director made the assumption that the singer was Wilder and they were too embarrassed to point out his mistake, the video remains this way today.

The music video is not commercially available.

"One of Depeche Mode's Best 
80's 12 Inch Dance Singles"
"Love It!"

"Bizarre Love Triangle"
Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
well every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

Dorothy Moore - "Just Another Broken Heart" (12'' Maxi) 1984 Hi-Nrg Disco Classic 80's "HARD-TO-FIND" RARE High-Energy Anthem

-
TRACKLISTING
1.  Dorothy Moore - Just Another Broken Heart (12'' Maxi Edit) (6.12)  1984
2.  Dorothy Moore - Just Another Broken Heart (12'' Extended Version) (7.04)  1984
-
"Just Another Broken Heart" is a 1984 dance classic by Dorothy Moore ("Misty Blue")
The track was produced by Bob Montgomery (Johnny Rivers, Jim Hurt).
It is a well known underground track among disc jockeys and hard core audiophiles.
It not only is a successfully dramatic performance by Ms. Moore, but has killer song lyrics and one of the most incredible musical arrangements.

"This is a excellent example of an
'early 80's High-Energy' classic
A well crafted, dramatic, almost 'theatrical' song which has a real storyline.
This song is sung with pure pain and passion."
