Various Artists - Connected 12
Release date: 07/07/2008
Catalogue Number: 5309765
Description:From the team who brought you the critically acclaimed and best selling 12”80s series comes Connected, packed with cracking 12” remixes from the 90’s. Connected is a fresh assortment of the hottest artists, remixers and producers from the 1990s. It's a funky selection covering off the era of Talkin’ Loud (Galliano, Young Disciples, JTQ, Incognito), the birth of Trip Hop (Tricky, Portishead, Massive Attack) and where dance met rock (U2, Stone Roses, Primal Scream, Happy Mondays). It should play well in the sunshine with other nuggets from Beats International, Drizabone, Dream Warriors, Deee Lite, The Blueboy, Sub Sub and PM Dawn. It also features Snap’s ‘Rhythm Is A Dancer’ from the new Thunderbirds/ Drench water TV ad. It takes you back to the decade where internet and computer games landed big time and yet music advanced and changed forever. This is a great purchase for people who may have these mixes ‘somewhere at home’ giving them instant access to the biggest club, funk and indie hits of the decade. Convenience and nostalgia works well in this market as we showed with 12”80s and it’s pretty much the same demographic who will buy Connected. It’s perfect for summer fun and games, both at home or to take away on holiday.
