Too frightened to touch, but I want you so much

Want to cry out in anger, live without danger

We have fort for so long, we were getting so strong

Now were fighting, were fighting for our lives.

PEOPLE LIKE US feat Cindy Dickinson - Reincarnation (I'm Coming Back For Love) (12'' Maxi) 1987 hi-nrg disco 80's

"Reincarnation

[i'm coming back for love]"

was the follow up single to People Like Us's 1987 worldwide dance hit 'Deliverance'.

"Deliverance" had made them well known in the clubs of Europe and all over the world where Hi-NRG and Eurodisco songs were still the favourite music styles pumping out of the speakers. People didn't at first know that 'People Like Us' was a South African outfit and expected them to be from the UK due to the record company Passion who distributed their music was based there (The UK) and possibly due to the fear that in the 80's, the record buying public would not purchase anything that came from South Africa because of the country's Apartheid regime. In South Africa the songs were favourites in clubs and at house parties but records were only available through import and people only found out that they were South African at he height of ‘Deliverance’s’ popularity. The debut album was released titled 'Deliverance' and featured further tracks including 'Hiroshima', 'Restless Hearts' and 'Reincarnation (Coming back for love)'. Enquiries about ‘People Like Us’ came from all over the world and a tour of the UK was launched. Then disaster struck when Paul Crossley fell gravely ill with Aids at the height of their popularity. Paul Crossley died on 6 August 1989. His death had serious repercussions for ‘People Like Us’ as Paul Crossley was seen as the main driving force of the band and this dampened the future progression of the band. Subsequently ‘People Like Us’, rerecorded the Shiraz song ‘Fighting For Our Lives’ (originally writen by partners Corssley & Owen) bringing homage to Crossley. During that period leading up to Crossley’s death the situation between Cindy, Terry and Paul soured and Cindy decided not to be involved with future albums. Cindy also fell pregnant with her son Danny and performing and recording would take a back burner for the next couple of years.

Indecent Obsession - Indio (Album) 1992 CLASSIC POP DANCE ROCK ALBUM RARE!! Deleted! "Hard-To-Find" Classic!

Indecent Obsession formed in Brisbane, Australia in 1987. Molly Meldrum signed the band to his record label Melodian. The band tasted success with the single "Say Goodbye" hitting the Australian Top 10 in August 1989. The follow-up single "Tell Me Something" landed at #17 two months later, but would be the band's last Australian Top 20 single. "Tell Me Something" was picked up by US radio in early 1990 and the song landed at #31 without the band ever setting foot in America. The retitled "Indecent Obsession" album (for the American market) peaked at #148 in 1990.

"Indio" - the band's second album was more mature and featured the hit singles "Indio" (AUS#41) and "Kiss Me" (AUS#27). "Kiss Me" even landed at No.1 in South Africa for an amazing 27 weeks, where the album also hit #1.

Further very successful singles in South Africa from the same album were "Rebel With A Cause", "Whispers In The Dark" and "Indio". The band was hugely popular there and had a very successful tour in South Africa in 1992.

Matterhorn Project - The Moo Song (1985)

"MUH!" (also known as the "moo song" in South Africa, Japan and other parts of the world and the French call it "meuh" or "meu") by Matterhorn Project is unique in pop history. There are cows singing and bells tingling, yodelling and alpine horns, all supported by an infectious eigthies disco-beat and a slightly spaced-out sense of humour.

The track stormed the Swiss and international charts in 1985 and got known and loved for its sense of comedy and tongue-in-cheek citing of Swiss clichés.

LORA MUNRO - The Sound Of (Album) hi-nrg musical eurodance 'kitsch camp' disco (CULT)

In 2000/2001, the 'zany' British singer Lora Munro released a Hi-NRG Eurodance album featuring dance versions of camp classic musical tunes. Songs from THE SOUND OF MUSIC (Do-Re_mi; Tomorrow; My Favourite Things; Supercalifragilistic-expealidocious; CHESS (Memory; One Night In Bangkok) + HOT GOSSIPs (STARSHIP TROUPER) and SHIRLEY BASSEYs (BIG SPENDER) were all given the Hi-NRG treatment... She toured gay clubs & bars in the UK (wearing her "Sound Of Music" frock)
This original "THE SOUND OF" album is "impossible-to-find" these days.. and certainly has become a 'kitsch camp classic'

"Definitely worth a listen! :) She has a great voice. Guarenteed to make you SMILE! :) :) :) lol!"

Suzy Q - Can't Live Without Your Love (Greatest Hits) 1994 hi-nrg disco 80's

Canadian Disco/Hi-NRG studio group "SUZY-Q" (not to be confused with Stacey Q) had an early soul disco hit "Get Up And Do It Again" which originally appeared on the small Canadian label J. C. Records. Years later, Carol Jiani would reveal that she was the singer on this track, which may explain the 100% change in voice and style of all later releases..

-Follow up hits were "Harmony" and "Computer Music", both outstanding, uptempo Hi-NRG Disco electro tracks!

-

"Take a listen to this and leave some comments with your own thoughts.....

IMO, some great dance tracks here - but "SUZY-Q" as a "brand artist" or "group" just doesn't work for me. One minute it's proper old soul & funk "black music", then next track it's young "white as white" teenage girl pop... :) lol!

"Harmony" and "Computer Music" are great quality Hi-NRG productions, which work best for me"
