Technology, don't you just love it until it fucks up.
My work laptop decided it no longer wanted to connect to the Internet yesterday and due to my reliance on web based systems I'm as much good as a man short. So today I will be tidying up my office and feeling guilty about doing next to nothing, as my laptop gets couriered to Luton to either be rebuilt or scrapped.
But back to the music. Hardcore Uproar is on of those tracks that you heard everywhere in 1990, a Rave anthem before the term had even been used to label certain dance tracks.
The track was written and pressed on white label with the sole aim of being played at the Hacienda. it duly got flogged to death in the club and was picked up by Pete Tong owned FFRR and given a full release.
The bassline and melody are built around a sample from John Carpenter's The End Theme from Assault on Precinct 13. The tune also begins with the famous "More powerful than you can possibly imagine" Alec Guinness sample from Star Wars.
Have a good weekend people.
Together - Hardcore Uproar

We are now as far from 1990 as 1990 was from 1968. *gulp*
You're a right little ray of sunshine today Mr H!
Tune!
1990 didn't seem to have much in common with 1968, seemed so far away at the time. Is 2012 as different from 1990 as 1990 was from 1968?
Bit existential for me this debate. Call Camus.

I wish it was 1990. I would be looking forward to a brilliant Friday night out.
Oi! Camus! What were you doing in 1990?
He'd been dead 30 years. Cheers!
Trust Davy to sartre it out.
very good SA
This is cheery.
I agree Si, come on guys it Friday night!
you right!
the biggest similarity between 68 and 90 was surely the gauche (sp?) clothing. i remember wearing a very bright orange tee shirt aroundthis time along with my inspirals 'cool as fuck' number.
yes, that and the drugs.
Now you mention it Anton there was a lot of hippy shit going on but I'm sure that was 88/89 but could be wrong it is all a blur due to the substances.
i was in america for summer 1990 and the americans found my attempts at baggy/roses stylings very hippy. it allowed my access to some great weed from the Oregon trail. its time to stop talking about these matters on't web i guess.
didn't one of the dudes in Together drown to death or something?
He drove a moped over a cliff in Ibiza, a day after playing Leeds Warehouse...
