The Rose Laurens' track is awesome and still gets play on my turntable. Familiar with Astaire (Power of Love and Fire Me Up), but I never knew they also did American Love. Which version do you like better?

I'd say both versions are equally good, though I think Rose Laurens' was the more popular. As I recall, this track got a good response on the floor for years, so could maybe be considered a club classic.
Any other HINRG favourites?

Interesting looking list, Bernie - I'm gonna check some of those tracks out.
Good to find a fellow HINRG enthusiast - it doesn't seem to get mentioned much on these boards.

Jussi,
Azul Y Negro (Black and Blue) is such a neat group. Besides "The Night" have you heard "No Tengo Tiempo" and "El Hombre Lobo?" What ever became of them?

Thanks, Jussi, for your list. Now I realize what 12" has been in my collection that I was confusing with Bebel. It's Belen. My mistake with the names but the music is still on.

I like NO TEMPO TIENGO a lot but never heard HOMBRE LOBO – that sounds interesting, perhaps the only werewolf-themed dance record? The last I heard of Azul y Negro was their ambitious 1986 concept album BABEL. The cover has a Basquiat/Haring/Goude-type image of a warrior painted with neon colors, and the electronic music by Carlos Garcia Vaso and Joaquin Montaya has futurist-exotic themes like POMPEYA, ALHAMBRA and ORIENT EXPRESS. Some of the tracks resemble Alaska Y Dinarama ( a cool mid-80’s vocal group from Madrid combining new wave, disco and flamenco elements) while others have operatic voices on top of the semi-classical arrangements.
Apart from HEY SURVIVOR which was sung in duet with a 60’s crooner whose name escapes me now, there’s another Belen Thomas cut, a similar sounding classy and melodic AIRE. Nick, do you know if there was anything else out by her ?

No, I don't and I really enjoyed 'Survivor'. I just assumed it was another 'one hit wonder' piece of music.

No Longer Charting
I'll have to remind Jim Mullen of some of his and the late Dick Morrisey's legacy, next time I see him (May 31st). Really thought they were gonna do something big in late '79 early 80 'cos everything and everyone seemed to be going for them.
