Track circa 1983 help please

[Andy Farley]

Hi

Any ideas what this is please? Sounds kind of in Level 42 sort of vein though I don't think it is them. The vocals are naggingly familiar but can't quite put my finger on who it is

Thanks
:D

I know the track but can't place it either. The singer sounds like Bryan Ferry, but...

[swerzer]

Is it ABC or OMD?

[Andy Farley]

HI thanks for the suggestions but I've checked out ABC & Bryan Ferry and it's not them

[__Pulse__]

I'ts def. not OMD or Bryan Ferry.

Midway of the sample I hear the style of Japan (David Sylvian) ??

Sorry, that's all

[Andy Farley]

Hi Pulse thanks for the suggestion but it's not David Sylvian/Japan

[swerzer]

Hi Pulse thanks for the suggestion but it's not David Sylvian/Japan

I have this song somewhere buried amongst everything. I'm starting to think that maybe it was by a more obscure group from the UK.

Andy,
Do you have any more of the song that you can post? Is it definitely from 1983?
I've got to have this mystery solved!

Hi swerzer , click on the link again, I have put a longer sample up :D

Sounds like I Level or First Light! Brit Jazz Funk, but I agree it with everyone else it is very familiar :icon_evil:

[Andy Farley]

Thanks Mark will give them a try :)

[Andy Farley]

Tried First Light & I Level and no titles seem to fit with the lyrics here. Anyone know any other Brit Funk bands from that era? Have had a look at Beggar & Co & Light Of The World but no joy with them..

[marmite7]

You know what Andy - it'll probably turn out to be an obscure album track by some even more obscure 80's outfit or worse a B side! :icon_confused:

Icehouse! Remember them? Vocals like Byran Ferry (Hey Little Girl!)

This is starting to wind me up now, so God knows how you're feeling!

[Andy Farley]

Icehouse were amazing love em! Check out No Promises by them if you've not heard hit great tune

Worth a look though and yea agree could be a non Brit Funk band trying Brit Funk!

[QUINNY]

What a terrible record!!!

Curiosity Killed The Cat, maybe.
or a Culture Club splinter group

[QUINNY]

I've just had a thought.

Could it be Belouis Some? The lead vocalist had a voice something like that, didn't he? Or maybe Heaven 17?

[Andy Farley]

Thanks Quinny I'll have a look at those

Didn't it was that bad a song :icon_lol:

[Andy Farley]

Ok not Belouis Some and looked at Heaven 17 and British Electric Foundation and not either of them unfortunately....
