This is 'Rope Chain' by Master Shortie. It is the best video I've seen in ages - possibly because it totally looks fan-made?

You all remember their big hit (otherwise known as "that Tony Blair song"), but how many of you recall the follow-ups.

Entering at number 21 on 3 September 1995, I give you D:Ream - 'Party Up The World':

memory lane: old-skool records i've played today (inc.micro-review)

i: "wild suspense" by (the?) wailing souls, 1979 --- ancient cassette tape, track-list written in green biro; this is such a lovely record; reggae vocal groups are just beyond awesome -- their name is great, the lp's name is great, the song-title "bredda gravalicious" is great... i should write something long about this
ii: "two bad dj" by clint eastwood and general saint, 1988 -- well it says it's this but i'm sure it isn't it's a live LP of some sort, feat.ini kamoze guesting at one point (the only live reggae lp i remember recording is aswad live and direct but obviously it isn't that)
iii: "gone to earth" by david sylvian, 1986 -- this lasted a track and a half, it's AWFUL: i still like japan (one and half lps worth, but sylvian on his own is DREADFUL)
iv: "RIP" by richard hell, roir tapes, 1984: lasted half a side, i don't mind it but it's all unfinished half-cock ideas, which seemed exciting way back when, but he sure never went and completed em, and anyone who did i'd rather (with all this time elapsed) go listen to them
v: "room to live: undilutable slang truth" by the fall, 1982: i am REALLY REALLY of a mind to write something substantial about the fall -- they've been a feature of my life for THIRTY YEARS after all

i'd like to write about the music i think -- a *real* challenge to find the language to do that
