Laid Back - Bakerman (1989)
Classic nonsensical soother from Denmark's Laid Back, a song I love and one which I haven't heard in a very long time. I remember being glued to MTV for hours when it first came out, just to try and catch it again...it's just what you did before YouTube and ting.
But I got reunited with this lost gem by another corker I heard recently. I was trawling through some best of 2013 lists and came across a track called 'No Eyes' by German DJ, Claptone. I got drawn to it as I knew Jaw, who provides vocals on the track, from a French group I like called dOP and the synths instantly reminded me of the Laid Back song, very similar in nature and equally brilliant.
Two songs for the price of one then, a bit like finding a pound coin while also finding that crucial piece of Lego you've been looking for from behind the sofa.

Tulis commentsWhat a brilliant comparison! It really shows the difference in musical production over the years. I really love the Claptone song. I kind of proves the theory we used to have, and that was have a strong hook and you have what you need to make a good dance song. Like 'Killer' and that one that I made up with my keyboard!
ReplyFantastyczny kawałek. Wiele wody upłynęło w Wiśle a ten kawałek pomimo tego czasu wciąż brzmi świeżo. Ostatni zakupiłem do sklepu 12" maxi singla. popmaster.pl
