Lovely video there with Thatcher, Nixon, Paisley, Mary Whitehouse, Stalin, Mussolini and Joe McCarthy all morphing into one another.

Tearing up the Corkscrew after a flock of pints in Monks… the tunes blaring and the car heaving with bodies. The general rule back in those days if you were driving was to stay off the shorts but pint away.

12 years after this post, 31 years after hearing the track for the first time and about 100 YouTube algorithm brainstorming sessions later and dozens of failed Shazam sessions later, Shazam finally worked for me and I’ve found this track.
It’s called Trance 999 by a chap I’ve never heard of called Dominic Francis Glynn who is apparently a genius composer of electronic music and it’s brilliant.
The release date is down as July 25th, 1994 but BBC wee six had this as their soundtrack during the 1994 Ulster Championship.
The track was also used on Eurosport’s coverage of Euro '96.
Now that this three decades long task has been completed, my main focus in life switches to finding out what the incidental music was on the documentary series “The Game Of Billions” presented by Pelé and broadcast on Eurosport in early 1991.

Some blast from the past there, sweat burning the eyes off lads and they punching the air and roaring Spanish words at each other. Life peaked at the end of the last century.

Listening to a lot of very early, or the origins of Chicago House right now. Ridiculous stuff. The history is interesting as well, Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan, both gay men were dj-ing the the gay bathhouses of Manhattan, as well as the Ballroom(think ‘Paris is Burning’) scene in Harlem. Levan got offered a residency in the warehouse in Chicago, but turned it down and Knuckles took it instead. So, early house would have been played mostly in clubs whose clientele were primarily large, gay African American men.
The rest is history. The AIDS epidemic took so many of the stars of the time, sadly. Knuckles, who was a fervent fan of disco, and with it’s demise in popularity, tried to rejuvenate it by adding beats and basslines to disco sounds.
