May I suggest: tone down the echo, put the tongue in cheek or chic, be a little more flirtatious and soulful, that would grab me more. Oh wait!! That's what Culture Club already did! Hey but I'll always tumble for ya. :))kevinpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501873866325216412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-162209330821635872016-03-09T06:08:56.671-05:002016-03-09T06:08:56.671-05:00A much more detailed and informative post and disc...A much more detailed and informative post and discussion than my post.

I ate up all thing TBM back when they hit the charts, searching in reverse for their debut album Limping For A Generation as soon as I got my hands on Animal Magic. By the time of Animal Magic, the whole London Jazz Pop/Sophisti-pop scene had gotten a bit long in the tooth and those artists who were able to move onto the charts or expanded on their cult status were firmly established. The Blow Monkeys took a few pages out of their book as well as looked back to the energy of Glam for some references as well. <br />But The Blow Monkeys never sat still and evolved adding more and more dance influence into their particular brand of intelligent pop. I think Springtime For The World, their last album before calling it a day was brilliant at capturing the mood of change in pop and the influence of House, Balearic and World Music sounds. <br />When they made their comeback almost 2 decades later, they presented fans with a grown up, experienced take on pop and rock that put much of what else was out at the time to shame. Their second season has born some amazing fruit and I look forward to more and more.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-66524585566262923082016-03-08T17:54:48.606-05:002016-03-08T17:54:48.606-05:00I was listening to Wait by Dr Robert and Kym Mazel...I was listening to Wait by Dr Robert and Kym Mazelle at the weekend, a pretty good house track. drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-28531253628018197772016-03-08T17:12:28.587-05:002016-03-08T17:12:28.587-05:00Such a great song and didn't realise it had do...Such a great song and didn't realise it had done so well in the us.
