Mata-Hari is from 1987. The song is really smooth and subtle, and kinda sneaks upon you. It's incredibly well produced, the wobbly-synths in the beginning are very nice. Upbeat, perfect bpm, super nice vocals...I love it.
"Who is she...
who-who-who is she..."
But it's the chorus which got me hooked, a while back I realized I had listened to this song on repeat for probably 8-10 times in a row, always nodding my head and humming along.
Apart from Squash Gang, I don't think I've heard any other songs by this producer, but I want to, and I don't know why I haven't worked on that already.

Although the songs are not that similar, I get the same feeling as when I listen to Rewind's 'Rosalie (Pop & Go!)'.
Hugh Bullen is a smooth talker. He almost raps -- almost, not quite, but really close -- about this mysterious Alisand. The song is really slick, like a kickdrum party, and the production is really nice...makes it roll.
But like the song above, it's the chorus that makes me love it -- espeeecially the lyrics! And add the voice sample and tom-toms, and it just gets better and better...

I discovered recently your blog and i must admit I'm impressed. I read as much as I could ( i've reached february 08 ) . Actually i stopped at the Brian Eno article. As I couldn't comment on that post , I'll recommend "The Fat Lady of Limbourg" here. I bet you already know the song. Anyway, you've done some great work. Congratulations.

To compose the thesis paper related to this good topic wasn’t effortless though you deal with it. If every single writer is like, all people will ne'er have got any problems with the thesis writing.

Sælir. Datt niður á slóð af síðunni inni á Hypem.com. Eftir lestur fræðsluhornsins hjá þér rúllaði ég frá einu myndbandi yfir á það næsta.
Var að leita að meira efni með Mörtu Acuna (Dance, Dance, Dance) en fann ekki. Hins vegur bentir þú mér á Patrick Adams. Átti stöff með honum sem Cloud One en í gær bættust mun fleiri unaðstónar í safnið. Leiðangurinn endaði svo í Rotary Connection/Minnie Riperton og Ramsey Lewis.
Tilviljarnir eru hressandi.
