11 - House Crew - Euphoria (Nino's Dream)

matt what is relationship between liquid's "sweet harmony" and liquid love's "sweet harmony" (by ear they are at very least radically diff remixes; i only believe the latter exists bcz it is on my itunes, i know not whence)?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Liquid did a song called Liquid Love?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

possibly! it might just be bad mp3 titling!

as orig.read (after download):
= "liquid" by sweet harmony
and "sweet harmony" by liquid love

i retitled the first baseed on content and googling, but the second i am stymied by

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

How does The Beloved's 'Sweet Harmony' fit into this? That is the only version I knew.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

you've not heard Liquid's 'Sweet Harmony'?? (it's on that Ultramix 92 i gave you...somewhere...)

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Which one came first though? Are they even the same song?

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Very different songs. Liquid's came a year or so before The Beloved's.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

14) Kate Bush, 'Bertie'

I am guessing 2) is The Beloved, 'Sweet Harmony', but I don't know the first line offhand

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't kno this but is 10 Fleetwood Mac?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

20 is V - "Hip To Hip". Unless it's the other V single.

Googoosh, y'all.

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]

Mark, I hafta say I'm deeply charmed by your obsession with Googoosh.

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

19 is Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go by (I assume) Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, an old favourite of mine.

[epicharmus.livejournal.com]
