FINI TRIBE - De Testimony (Collapsing Edit)

[welldonedave]

I was beside myself if I was waiting to get into TheFuture and this was playing and I wasn't able to boogie, suppose it served me right for not leaving Surrey until after Cell Block H had finished! Thursdays were the best !

Strange but true, my Wardrobe used to belong to one of Test Dept., long story. Also was staying in Chris Connely's flat (Fini, Revolting Cocks etc.) when he had his dick pierced. Didn't look! Always loved the Cabs too. More to the point, your timeline is more accurate than mine, but it was a weird merging of musics and tribes back then. Perhaps the last shout of music and a certain type of politics existing together. Good times. Be happy.

God I love this track - came out around the same time as the acid house movement but from a very different place. Became a Balearic Choon of the day and was even ripped off blatantly in a less out-there rip off. Guess that's what you get if you Dance With The Devil.

@bkse2309 Not really the same time. I think it came out circa 86, acid house was a couple of years later. I was really into bands like 23 Skido, 400 blows, Test Dept, Cabaret Votaire etc. before acid house ...that's what made house so applicable to a wide audience...it wasn't impossible for a heavy industrialist, crusty, raggamuffin, northern souler to connect the dots from their preference to acid house and end up dancing side by side...Doesn't happen often, a priveledge to have lived!
