[sard113]

[rtmnmk]

Check the crowd - they still dancing like they dance to Euro-Pop or New Wave beat, while trying to figure this totally brand new musical genre...

- "What is this music?"

- "It's all the same"

- "Where's the SONG?"

lol

[podfunk]

Av it!!!!!! Always puts a smile on my face this one.

[masterdroider]

waaaaaaaaaaaat 20 yrs dawg

[abstractrobbie]

I remember this being dropped when it was out on Oh Zone before FFRR at the Hacienda "Nude" Friday venue. Before it sadly made the mainstream.

[abstractrobbie]

@bostonsurfboard Something important to remember back then in 1990 was that House was still quite underground and only we "cool" people who went to great clubs understood it. The charts were for all the sad gits who watched the Hitman and Her and actually though it was a good programme, went to clubs which demanded a shirt and tie and only drank alcohol :P That is why amazing tracks like this never got all that far.

[bacso76]

that track brings back millions of half memories.......lol

[jkk45]

awsome song but how is this acid house? Its more technoy

[tonyhollander]

Too many DJ's did a mash up of this at their gig last week!! dropped two for old times sake, had a great night, long live techno.

[anarhista79]

ja kazem DA!!!

[welshhibby]

[wwwRickyWordenCom]

[TechnolizedSpirit]

Dont feel old you guys. I would have gladly been born earlier to have been there thats for sure. I wasnt even born yet when it came out >_<

[DataCollaborate]

lovin it, it reminds me of an melody, i've had in my head everytime, when im rembering of my childhood..

sounds kinda crazy, or? ^^"

[parkeyx]

this tune got me into orbital..first time i heard it i was blown away.amazing tune.

[Gaffer96]

20 years.....oh my fuckin God....i'm 20 again when a hear this ..superb

[starlight76able]

Where is the time twenty years on and now feel ancient. Was either still thirteen when it came out either January of 1990 or just turned fourteen February 1990 either way surprised there was not a riot that ensued on Top of The Pops when they made their made their debut. It is in clubs though. A well hard tune.

[parkeyx]

[eydiot909]

[ratsinblackjackets]

Got to be honest, people talking about how to present it etc. I think this was presented petfectly, no interuptions, it was totally new music and it involved drugs - this was as good as we could've hoped for. UK

[pickle965]

From Sound On Sound: "We wanted to play live but Top Of The Pops insisted that we mime. However, when they provided us with flashy keyboard stands we sent them away and got trestle tables from the canteen. In our minds, flashy keyboard stands just wasn't us. We were used to performing on tables at the backs of pubs and we just had to set things up the way we knew."

[pickle965]

"Still, we were so embarrassed to be miming. I'd always complained stroppily whenever I saw people doing the same on Top Of The Pops, and now here we were, miming while some woman danced next to us in leggings, a silver top and a silver hat. She looked bored, we looked embarrassed and Top Of The Pops said 'We'll never have them back again.' As it happens, they did, but only once the staff had been replaced by people who'd forgotten they would never have us back again!"

[M4rkpj]

I'll tell you what, I'll slip my hands out the cuffs but I don't think I want to take my coat off!! This party might turn out to be pants!

Goods times!! lol

[K2nsl3r]

haha, surreal and sublime.

one thing I can say is that their stage presence has improved since those days ;)

[bwstripessam]

The Future had arrived, face the front and DANCE.

[TrowbridgeHardcore]

cant beat the classics

[BlavierFFXI]

Is it me or does that chick make that coat look like the sexiest thing on the planet back then. :)

[rarerod74]

i have this one but check out the Ray Kieth version ... its sick !!!!

[FahtimaHatima]

typical tv audience the crowd...

[roneugenius]

Have this on a 7" still spin it!

[rocco602]

Fuck Yessssss!

[sunshine1860]

Its been 20 years already!!! No way

[aquarius1972]

i rember as it's still from yesterday, and it's already 20 years ago, at the good old acid-house-parties... this track will never die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! thanks for sharing it with us...

[sunshine1860]

its been 20years!!!! No way

[SuperLlama25]

it's like the white version of soul train...

[JBonthebase]

1990, FFRR, many thanks....

[bwstripessam]

look at those young kids on stage, not sure its the brothers.

[dbod]

they really needed a better gimmick for TOTP. A slideshow or one of those electric charge glass ball things.

Is the girl wiggling around associated with the band or one of Pan's people?

[grako76]

the music was enough for most people back then, they had never heard anything like this before, i think a slideshow would have scared the shite out of them. joe public thought ravers where bad people who took drugs, we weren`t, it was good people takin drugs

[bwstripessam]

So true brother raver.

[grako76]

thanks....peace, love and unity brother!!!!!

[dbod]

I remember seeing this at the time and i remember how embarrassing it was at the same time as elating to see 'your' music on TOTP presented like this. People still didn't know how to present this kind of stuff.

For sure it's all about the music, this is a magic tune. you still got to laugh at the girl moving around strangely though, just wondered if Orbital got her in, or more likely, she was a BBC person.

And @bwstripessam, this wasn't 20 years ago, was it?!!! Aggh!!! Where'd they go!!!

[pmanngw]

@dbod Think I remember reading somewhere that it was the record company's idea. Probably one of Pete Tong's suggestions!

[djhinata411]

So glad that some are still saying PLUR. :)

[bwstripessam]

come on it was nearly twenty years ago

[hAhan17]

and the rise of dj culture!!!

[CTraver08]

the atmosphere is a bit dull there.

[davedagreat69]

LOL CTraver08, this is no club. This is their first appearance on BBC's Top Of The Pops. I don't think most of the audience is into this sort of music.

[beachbelle80]

LOVE IT!!

[simoncgordon]
