1274.0. "I Feel Love.....?" by KERNEL::HOGGAND () Thu Feb 02 1995 15:33

    Does anyone identify a song I've heard a couple of times lately. It
    sounds like a remix of the old Donna Summer "I feel love.." ditty.
    Any idea who it's by/what it's called?

    Jimmy Sommerville (ex-Communards) did a version of it a few years
    ago with Marc Almond (ex-Soft Cell) - I think.
    
    Goldy.

more to the point, who are those swines who've ba$tardised "Papa's got a brand 
new pigbag", or whatever it was called.  It's now known as "Pigbag", the name 
of the original group, and done by some techno wizz.

pah!
1274.3I quite like it actuallyMOVIES::VERBISTThu Feb 02 1995 19:169
Re -.1

It's done by "The Perfecto Allstars" - who I think are Oakenfold et al.

It's called "Reach Out" (I think)

(I know what I'm talking about, honest)
1274.4Well...KERNEL::HOGGANDThu Feb 02 1995 19:1610
    re .1
    
    No, I'm pretty sure the vocalist is a female (but then J.S's voice is
    pretty high).
    
    HMV reckoned that it was Sunshine.... by New Atlantic, but I don't
    beleive them).

    there's also the cricket theme - booker t and the mg's did it I think -
    that's supposed to be a rave tune - deary me.

    On a historical note, Pigbag featured Neneh Cherry, who went on to
    greater things. They were part of an earlier Bristol scene and were
    pretty damn good. I'm sure I heard Beeb2 using a Pigbag track as
    incidental music the other night.
    
    Anyway, the point I wanted to make was it wasn't original to them, or
    the name wasn't anyway, being a thinly-disguised reference to James
    Brown's "Papa's got a brand new bag". Which is a weird title any way you
    look at it and doubtlessly means something filthy, at least I hope so.

    re-1
    
    I think it was Rip RIg and Panic who featured Neneh Cherry, I'll double
    check for u tonight.  I remember grooving to both bands at Reading Uni
    in the early eighties.  The Pigbag tune turns up all over the place,
    and I recently picked up a 'best of 'Pigbag cd for 3.99 in Woolies.

    No, I think you're right. 
1274.10Saved-Mr. Roy.SNLV01::PARSONSDAVIDFri Feb 03 1995 04:175
    FYI the theme for the test cricket has been used on Saved which is by
    Mr Roy. This tune has been around for a few months now. It is on the
    Fresh label and the sample in question has been used constructively and
    isn't tacky sounding.
     
1274.11 n case you didn't know!SNLV01::PARSONSDAVIDFri Feb 03 1995 04:203
    Another point. It isn't rave music. It is club music. There is a huge
    difference in the two styles of music.

Not to the untrained ear, there ain't.
1274.13Back to the original questionAYOV27::FW_TEMP01John Hussey - Exiled in jocko landFri Feb 03 1995 13:3210
Soft Cell/Jimmy Sommerfield version goes on for about 14 minutes on the 12" with
them changing song halfway through.  I will find out over the weekend when I
search through collection.  

Being a sad old(ish) git I have all Soft Cell's 12" inch singles when they came
out in a special box set in Virgin years ago. Cracking stuff.  Also saw it
performed during the encore at the Hammersmith Palais on the last Soft Cell
tour about 6 month before it was released.

God I feel old...

    The Cricket theme was called "Soul Limbo"   I think...


1274.16HMV were rightKERNEL::HOGGANDFri Feb 03 1995 17:092
    Well, it's almost definite the the "I Feel Love..." one was by New
    Atlantic.
1274.17JURA::LETCHERIf not for good; if not for betterFri Feb 03 1995 19:0714
    
    1. I Feel Love was recently (OK, 1992) re-recorded for the NME 40th
       anniversary bash by Curve. It's on the double CD the NME released at
       the time.
    
    2. I Fell Love was recorded as a single by Bronski Beat, then
       re-recorded with Marc Almond for the 12". The 12" also features a
       very long version with "Johnny Remember Me" woven into the middle of
       it.
    
    3. The sog has doubtless been recorded many dozens of time over by
       other bands/artists, but those are the two I have...
