Heard a songion a club the other day ...
It had fast beats, and sounds like Beborn .
I remember few words :
"And I guess that we'll be making history
... for a moment "
and there are background voices talking
and a sound of a phone/fax machine .

Please, If you know it : Band/song name
(I wish Frog was here, he's a spop pro.)

That's Apoptygma Berzerk. The song is called
Starsign and it's off the album Welcome To The Earth. It's a fantastic album!! They're on Metropolois. I suggest you check it out. Their 7 album is really good too. I love the song Non stop Violence from it.

But I guess we will be making history
when we all join hands
To watch the sky
For a moment..

Our selfish lives have made us all go blind..

Hope that helps!

Avihai: you're a lucky guy ! it took me a few years till i found out about BIJ... long story :)

@ville - forever and ever.

Avihai

30 Jan 2001, 10:42

Yep, it's a quote from Stark Naked ( yafe Adi ! ) . I've read your looooong story of
AV discover, so hey ! you could actually search the net for "Big In Japan" and finish the whole story :) !

Avihai

30 Jan 2001, 11:07

To Dingerz :
1) Are you the name of the song is Starsign ???
2) What did you mean : "They're on Metropolis" ?

Dingerz

31 Jan 2001, 01:15

Oh, when I said they're on Metropolis, I meant the record company. But that's only for North America. But you're in Europe aren't you? If you go to the following webpage:

www.apoptygma.eu.org

It'll let you know all about the band and where to get the albums. And yes, the song with the lyrics similar to what you posted is called Starsign. I don't know of any other song with lyrics like that.

Tara : )

Avihai

31 Jan 2001, 13:29

ok, I'll check again.

Dingerz

31 Jan 2001, 19:01

ATTENTION:

I was wrong - it's called Eclipse. Duh, sorry Starsign was the other hit and I wasn't thinking. So check out Eclipse, you'll find that's the song you want!!

Starsign is track 2 from Welcome to The Earth
Eclipse is track 3 from Welcome To The Earth.

Tara : )

Avihai

31 Jan 2001, 22:24

ye ! now we're talking !

Adiville

07 Feb 2001, 18:09

ECLIPSE? well, i've downloaded STARSIGN and its pretty cool ! now its time to download the other song i guess <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Avihai

07 Feb 2001, 21:50

Ohh these are so good ! try Kathy's song.

Dingerz

07 Feb 2001, 23:11

Next try Mourn and Non-Stop Violence : )

Then go out and buy one of their albums!

COOL MUSIC !
GOD BLESS THE NAPSTER <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Dingerz

08 Feb 2001, 17:48

Guys, you don't have to worry about finding the albums in your country. That's what orderng online is for!

Go to places like www.cdnow.com, www.amazon.com or www.adifferentdrum.com.
All of these places you can get the CD's and they'll be delivered straight to your door!

The Apoptygma Berzerk album with Eclipse and Starsign is called Welcome to the Earth. The other album I highly suggest you check out is called "7"

Ok, I have a strange question.

Got a cd, that is recognised by RealOne as:

Elvis Costello
An Overview Disc [Interview]

One track -> Interview With Elvis Costello By Peter Doggett - time = 1:18:27

This is how it looks:

Data/20031026195156_promocd.jpg

What is this?

Agnes

26 Oct 2003, 21:41

It is a promotional stuff, JP, and you are very lucky to have this. It is an interview-CD and it is spread only by record companies to different medias - newspapers, magazines, radio stations, etc. - to be able to interpret this interview (or parts of this interview). So, you are really very lucky to have it! [thumbup] It is a real rarity!

FallenAngel

11 Feb 2004, 20:09

You feel like Steve Mc Queen
when your driving in your car!
And you think you look like James Bond
when your smoking your cigarre!

And ??? Who is this??

11 Feb 2004, 20:23

And One - Driving with my darling - from 1994.

I have it on 5" CD single - fun song, great synth !

It´s actually a coverversion, I have the original somewhere...

Can someone identify this?

"Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world turning inside out Yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time"

FallenAngel

01 Mar 2004, 13:29

And now a strange one....

Does someone knows what this is?

Alphaville - New Wave Long Megamix (Dj Marcio Levi Mix)

Someone told me that she heard that on the radio and that is was a disco remix...

poul e

01 Mar 2004, 17:18

@FallenAngel: It's an Alphaville Megamix made by DJ Marcio Levi. There's both a short and a long version. And they are actually not bad....

FallenAngel

01 Mar 2004, 17:36

And where can I find it???

FallenAngel

09 May 2004, 12:07

Found back an old music cassette.

On the label there is mentionned 'Mindscan' and 'Oblivion'.

Can someone help me to find more about this group?

poul e

19 Nov 2004, 14:41

I heard an 80s song on a satelitte radio station today that I never heard before. The chorus is something like this:

Oh Mama can't you tell
if you want my love
will you ring my bell

I think the title must be "Ring my bell" but it's certainly not the one by "Anita Ward".

Can anyone help??? The song is great and I would like to get it somehow!! [smile]

Krapplund

19 Nov 2004, 15:04

Easy one...it´s Lili & Sussie - Oh Mama

They are from Sweden.

Oh Mama can't you tell
Oh Mama can't you tell
If it was my love
Will you ring my bell?

poul e

19 Nov 2004, 17:34

Thanx Krapplund!! I guess it's easy when you are from Sweden [wink] I doubt that to many "non-Swedes" will be able to answer that question! [smile2]

Now to find that song somewhere.....

FallenAngel

26 Nov 2004, 12:22

Maybe not to identify a song... but an entire cd...

Since I lost my file with my collection of cd's I am forced to recreate it from scratch... and while I am doing this I am also cleaning up...

Found this cd :

'DEVOTED Songs by Gerry DeVeaux'

There are 16 tracks of it, and if I understand it well, the songs are sung by different groups/singers but are all written by Gerry DeVeaux'.

I can see names as Chaka Khan, Vanessa Paradis, Juliet Roberts, Kylie Minogue, .. and a few sung by Gerry or together with other artists.

Also I saw on the cd sleeve 'For Promotional use only not for resale'.

Something interesting this cd?

Avil

28 Sep 2005, 03:44

Anyone know about the song Okay, ma si va la with Donna Felicita. I've been looking all over for it, but haven't found it or anyone that knows about it!!

Mags

22 Oct 2006, 23:43

Can anyone think of another song about Egypt or Egyptians, besides Walk Like an Egyptian? I'm trying to think of one my 6th graders could perform in 4 weeks (they're studying ancient Egypt in history), and wonder if there are any other options.

MalilaM

23 Oct 2006, 03:10

I've known there is some Kate Bush's song named Egypt...

And there is Giuseppe Verdi's opera Aida (Tim Rice made a pop version of it with Elton John) [smile2]

But maybe for children it would be nicer something from Prince of Egypt movie soundtrack. [smile]
