#(Orchestra Remix)

[goddesspharo]

Are the two of us still playing for your number? I thought I won. That's your problem. You always think you've won before the match is over.

did you know? puyo puyo chronicle had a limited edition release that also included a 25th Anniversary CD set. rafisol, the final boss of puyo chronicle, the game the CDs were released with, does not have her theme featured anywhere in it.

popoi's theme, however, is there three separate times.

A-T-3 309 Love Is The Message

Two versions of MFSB's Love Is The Message that were pressed to record in 1983

Love Is The Message is originally released in on the album of the same name in 1973 its 6m35, a single version is released with vocals by The Three Degrees. Some time after that Walter Gibbons makes an extended edit of the break, I've tried to find out for sure but to no avail because I get the impression this comes out before Tom Moulton's remix for the 1977 compilation Philadelphia Classics four-years after the original release, that's the 11m27s version (it's not by Larry Levan!) The Tom Moulton remix doesn't get released as a stand alone 12" single until 1979. In 1980 Shep Pettibone airs his Love Is The Message Mastermix and a year after that in 1981 TJ Swann records Get Fly a disco rap over a rerecord of Love Is The Message. Its 1982 Fred Zarr and Began Cekic release two rerecorded versions of Love Is The Message on his One Way label, one as Brooklyn Express mixed by Tee Scott and another under the Hi Tension name remixed by M+M (this had Tee Scott's Somewhere Beyond on the b-side), the M+M/Hi Tension version is rereleased in 1983 as Scratch Is The Message, guess what they've done!

1983 is the year we're interested in

Salsoul Orchestra - Ooh I Love It (Love Break)

This is the most interesting of the 1983 versions. It's mixed by Shep Pettibone who did his legendary Mastermix version in 1980. It's by the Salsoul Orchestra and not MFSB. The orchestras were on different labels but share many of the same players. It mixes MFSB's Love Is The Message with the Salsoul Orchestra's Chicago Bus Stop (Ooh I Love It) from their self-titled debut 1975 album. On paper this is a cover of Montana's Chicago Bus Stop rather than Gamble & Huff who wrote Love Is The Message but to the ears it's both in equal parts. Montana was the vibes player for MFSB, he also arranges and produces a track on the album Love Is The Message but leaves to form the Salsoul Orchestra in 1974. In 1982 the same year the Salsoul Orchestra disbands Vincent Montana Jr's new Montana Sextet releases Heavy Vibes which is already marrying the similarities of Love Is The Message with Chicago Bus Stop. Shep Pettibone's Ooh I Love It (Love Break) truly is a mastermix of the lot, this mix began it's own branch that would see Madonna and Shep Pettibone going to court over a sample in the pairs single Vogue.

The 12" has the classic Shep Pettibone mix on it, an instrumental workout more like Heavy Vibes but with a full orchestra called the Love Break Groove and the Love Break Version which has a male vocal chanting "lets take a love break" on it, it's this version that's on the 1994 Salsoul Orchestra Anthology

The talented vocalists on the classic version are Barbara Ingram, Carla Benson, and Evette Benton

High Voltage -  Love Is The Message (Scratch The Message)

Hi Voltage's 1982 re-record mixed by M+M with added scratches. You may have noticed scratches, raps, references to "breaks" were very hip in 1983. Anyway there are a few tricks on here that turn up on Mr.K's re-edit a few years later although I couldn't tell you if Shep Pettibone or Walter Gibbons had done things like loop Earl Young's drum fill. I wonder is DJs ever played this and pretended to scratch?

Btw tristan’s theme would be a mix of electronic music and choir singing . it has a brief but eerie interlude that includes a dies irae to basically musically foreshadow his fate / his family’s fate .

[storiesandstars]

I love the original but this remix is too good. Arlo Parks' sound is a lot of what I loved about music in the 90's...if that makes sense?

YMO vs. The Orb - Hi-Tech Ambiance (Ariel Implosion Mix)

[miles-is-so-gay]

parents dragged me to Athens GA to see the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Chorus perform Handel's Messiah, and tbh....... it was boring as hell to me. kudos if you love that kinda stuff but it is not for me. anyhow, beforehand we went around the downtown area and shopped at Wuxtry Records and Cillies Clothing (aka The Junkman's Daughter's Brother) before going and eating DePalma's Italian Cafe, then getting ice cream at Ben and Jerry's :) it was really fun even though I did have a very boring hour and 40-ish minutes doing nothing but doodling (to great music).

I also found out that downtown Athens has rainbow / progress flag crosswalks!!!!!
