Downtown Venus P.M.Dawn

[Brivonn1]

Love this song! This song carries alot of musical influence from The Beatles and Prince (back in his freshman days in music)

[romeonarcizo]

This song was very underrated when comes out...But for me is very good..this one and YOU GOT ME FLOATING are pm dawn's best...Of course SET ADRFIT ON MEMORY BLISS is a instant classic!!!

[calpicox]

DAMN. Why cant we hear any new fabulous singles like this nowadays?

[monsterdime]

alot of beatles influence here yeah my type of stuff

[kinkabala]

And from darkness comes light..

Dont think we've disappeared

we just exist beyond your sight,,

[clizzleable]

@AlphaEqual wrong dipshit you just werent aware,fuckhead...

[SuperJustme42]

I wish ther was more music like this today

[daeva0123]

Really miss these Guys.

[colemann76]

Underrated, totally

[paperalien]

hey maxbrute.... u call pm dawn r&b music? i must be getting old or something cos pm dawn is in a league of it's own, nothing sounds so divine yet dirty so happy yet sad as pm dawn!

and please don't compare them to poof daddy. there's no comparison imo

thanx for sharing

[maxbruteforce]

@paperalien My point is, they are far better than anything that has come after in terms of sampling; P Diddy was just an example of poor sampling, there are many others I could have listed. PM Dawn is classified as R&B by many but I agree with you, they are in a league of their own. They are one of favorite groups and are very underrated which is a shame.

[paperalien]

it's all good max. i guess i'm just a lil edgy cos i'm getting older-ish lol. besides, we all have an opinion on everything and as long as we not horrible to anyone i think it's all constructive.

i wish everybody a gr8 holiday season (x-mas) and i really mean it. now couple that with good ol' music and i am sure it will be excellent.

[wyrdbyrd]

@maxbruteforce At present, the closest I've found to either has been some of Erykah Badu's recent work. Experimental, somewhat ethereal, has a message, daring but definitely with its own sound and purpose. I think that there are R&B, Soul and Jazz artists out there who aren't on the current commercial bandwagons, but one has to be willing to keep searching even through sheer annoyance.

[hmorganman]

Im glad that people have pointed out the sampling of the drum track. Firther proves my assertion that the 90s was truly a lost generation among R&B artists especially. This was also the decade of the R&B remake. People that were once know for their musical innovation & creativity became reprogrammed into accepting synthetic fakery. Its no wonder that the live performances also became a embarrassing minstrel.

[maxbruteforce]

I hate R&B music so much. PM Dawn is the only exception; if they were more recognized, then R&B could have become something much more than it is now. Few groups can pull off sampling in their music and PM Dawn is one of them; they make it their own. Sampling has become something negative b/c people like P Diddy made it shit. All of PM Dawn's albums are excellent and deserve a listen.

[bull864]

excellent comment. AMEN!!

[wyrdbyrd]

@maxbruteforce I consider PM Dawn a natural progression from what Prince and similar artists set down in the 80's and early 90's. Not direct inheritors or proteges because they have an entirely different feel, but it seems like they were a logical next step. I remain shocked that they never made it farther than they did, but by the time I heard of them they were apparently rather old news.

[jfo1014]

creative use of Deep Purple's "Hush".

[wmhamby]

They sampled Deep Purple's song Hush. The drum track.

[azanimanaf]

superb tune

[jkminnich]

I got laid for the first time when this song was playing, very special song to me :)

[jodyjock]

more drawings!

[tdsafff]

PM Dawn - totally underrated. There first album is total genius. Insanely so.

[Maxqstl]

i love this song to cool

[steveconn]

Can someone post the official video to this song? I saw it once in the 90's and it rocked!

[mikejcpd]

Nope, they sampled "Hush" from the band Deep Purple (bass and drums) in this song

[fortheloveoftunes]

@mikejcpd So what? They did in a fine way and it´s a legal way to do it dude! .-)

[mikejcpd]

@fortheloveoftunes whats your point?, I was just answering "Redback 80's" question if it was an original song with nothing sampled....read the comment above mine

[Mscuttiee]

I loved the whole album I wished he they would do more concerts

[Rohailtopper]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

p.m dAWN rULEZ!!!

[loverskaeters]

COOL SONG , COOOL  VIDEO

[brodiebanky]

Damn, I haven't heard this song in years, at least since it was big.

[exv092]

sounds like a deep purple sample. But this time, somebody makes it work instead of fuckin butcherin it!

[alanpage]

this isnot the orignal clip i know i grew up with this shit who ever did this its new

[RocStarr1983]

Yes, it's sampled from Deep Purple's "Hush". Great ear there. :-)

[tonybklyn]

Times always look simpler from the rear view mirror. Heck, when this Album came out, I was looking back about 10 years marveling at "simpler times". Time has a funny way of erasing bad moments, with more emphasis on the good ones.

Anyway...love the upload, I'm a die-hard PM Dawn fan.

[adangme]

What TV show or movie did this go to?

I remember a tv commercial back in the day that featured the chorus line"you could be into you..." for some show.

Does anyone remember?

[playtone66]

whose doing the art work?

need album cover

[lilstlove]

Thanks for asking playtone66... I am doing the art work afterhours. Album cover? Wow! That sounds exciting..... please get in touch..

[kathleen6670]

I'd love to see the original video for this song. If anybody can find it post it, ok?

[cazman35]

[cacjph]

[lilstlove]

Thank you cacjph.. Namaste my dear friends. And today we're looking through..... The heart shaped window x

[cacjph]

finally got it sorted and I look back at you and your art through a heart shaped window. keep on keeping on.

x

[lilstlove]

Thanks so much to all of you for your comments. For me, although the track shines alone, i like it best in it's setting between the spooky little intro track and 'My Own Personal Gravity'-'tickling all my precious depressions'. Not forgetting all those other great tracks,'I'll Be Waiting For You' through to the pick-me-up of the last track, 'Jesus Wept' is a welcome respite to the materialism of this old world. 'Let the ceremony begin...'

[zeezee15]

Ilistone - thank you for putting up this litty gem of a ditty so that we have something to comment in the first place. Cheer!

[colemann76]

Well i really like it

[colemann76]

Great song, always wondered why is wasnt a hit

[RocStarr1983]

It probably was way too "rock" for all their mainly hip-hop and dance fans. Plus, they were mainly played on pop radio, so it probably was too "rock" for them, too.

[zeezee15]

Hey I agree with you. It's got this guitar and drumkit heavy melody. This is one of the most underrated gems of the early 90s.

[iwait4u]

oh yea!
