LaTour

This is one of those CD's that you just have got to love if you like hard pounding Industrial dance or techno. I remembered "People are Still Having Sex" getting significant radio airplay at the time. But it's one of those songs that once it fell off the charts...faded into oblivion.

You've heard "Blue" from Basic Instinct. I love listening to that one in with headphones. You might have heard "Allen's Got a New Hi-Fi" which was a lesser hit in '91.

But there are some other fantastic toe-tapping headphone pounding songs on this album. My other favorites are "Psych" and "Amazing You."

This is a long shot and I am totally dating myself, but in the mid-eighties when i was a young club kid, there was an after hours club called "Berlin" on 21st or 22nd street at 6th ave. They played this song that had the EXACT melody of LaTour's Blue. (Or should I say, LaTour took this melody OR adapted their original version) It was much more 'trance like' and incredibly seductive - especially at 4am.
When "Basic Instinct" came out in the nineties, I literally jumped out of my seat when I heard the song "BLUE" because it was the EXACT same melody, but with a dance track. The original song - i have no idea what it was called but I believe the group was called "LIQUID LIQUID" is probably one of the first 'trance' melodies ever to be created. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR MY FILM PROJECT. If anyone knows what i'm talking about, please contact me at the email above. And trust me, if you like the song "Blue" you will love the original version of this infections melody. Tripp Mills/Los Angeles.

cute as you may be sweetie i must say that you are wrong, many of us out there are just searching for an album like this , you call it dated and yes its true , dated in a good way though, you search around for all those pre-industrial and such type albums and eventually run out of leads , this is an awesome addition to anyones collection if theyre preference is anything close to a split second, or any other band close to that short but sweet era

The only reason I bought this album is because of the song "Blue."
However, the sounds of the other songs are kind of dated. "People Are Still Having Sex," is a good song and also "Alan's Got A New High-Fi."
It's definitely worth it to own the album for "Blue", but don't expect anything much better than that.

i allways been a big fan of this group...
i especially love their song (blue)...

hope i my goal... w'll come true... on finding this song/group.

Everyone's heard (and reacted to) "People Are Still Having Sex" and those in the know know about "Blue;" but this release has somehow fallen off the radar. So much the pity; as this is one of the few techno/dance releases which actually makes an attempt to appeal to a bigger audience than the remixers and dancers.

This release was made more for the cassette, as each set of five songs has its own beginning and end song and is centered with a more atmospheric cut. While the two remixes on the end (an expression of the "use every inch of the CD" ethos which made CD buying a less enjoyable enterprise even before the advent of Napster 1) can be seen as unnecessary, they are worthy enough additions to the CD to listen to.

Buy this where you can. Maybe if enough people purchase this platter it will be rereleased, as the music has aged less than many of the hits that were on the radio then (or now) and it is as deserving now as before.

If you are looking for the best complete recording of Chopin's 24 Preludes, you need look no further. Jean-Francois Latour captures the spirit of these pieces beautifully. To try and dispute this fact would simply be futile.

One can only hope that Mr. Latour will show kindness to the world by recording more of Chopin.
