FRENCH STREET SOUL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoxhlfJYOb4&feature=youtu.be Albert - Fais Moi From Albert - Ahïa Released on RCA, 1991, France This is possibly the most "borderline" record we ever talked about on OYT (and some may rightly argue that we crossed a red line here) but we couldn't help it as we became slowly obsessed with the B-side of this 7"…Lire la suite FRENCH STREET SOUL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYOgL-jKTpg Notorische Reflexe - Next Stop From Notorische Reflexe - S/T Released on Rebel Rec., 1985, Germany In our opinion, one would definitely be right by defining Notorsiche Reflexe as a "Neue Deutsche Welle" act. Though the expression quickly became hackneyed after some songs sold by the marketing guys as "NDW hits" took over Europe's music charts in the early-1980's…Lire la suite NÄCHSTE BAHN
