Shades of Rhythm - Sound of eden

[mach1ification]

ive always loved this tune.there are many tunes but not many that make the crowd sing along.This tune was played at my friends funeral as hes favourite track and the crowd sang along.The line "heres another chance for you to dance with me" has a deeper meaning now.What a fitting tune that was....LOVE THIS TUNE!!

[Bogley69]

have found 130 classics and put em on my channel.....for all those that luv em but cant remember the name??? we used to have to hum em to each other lol - remember??

[Bogley69]

the leeds warehouse rocked in 1988 - 89 - mental...mental....MENTAL LOL XXXX ---- then afterwards - straight down to sonnys - CHAPELTOWN..LS7...Dj Mickey...pure drug induced BLISS.......

[luds333]

Listening to this again, the older I get the more I want to go back to those great times,,,

[pilgim]

got to say there's nothing on the whole of you tube that gets such universal,unequivocal respect and praise for what truly was a VERY special time. The mainstream still hasn't really cottoned on to what it was all about and probably never will.Frankly good, at least they wont bastardise the memories.

[clarkey1984]

@pilgim Too true, i wasnt born until '84, so too late to experience these times, was about 1998 when i started getting into the scene but by then of course it was faster and everyone was calling it 'happy hardcore' which was the sound i fell in love with, the way i feel about hardcore is pretty much how you feel about this earlier sound i imagine, the sound you probably grew up with and it holds so many memories because of that...

[clarkey1984]

@pilgim ... ill never fail to appreciate where it all started though, which was with the likes of shades of rhythm, ellis d, slipmatt, sl2, liquid, ratpack, etc... a truly great era that i wish i could have been around to see.

[canegang]

Hello where you from, what you on ?

Here have a mouthfull of my water... I ove this one lets dance like nutters...yeh catch you later

[billydj100]

Labrynth. Snowballs. And a Universal joy found in my humble heart! Still there! X

[pilgim]

@billydj100

memories a bit dodge but was that around covent garden? remember the weekend rush crew there around 91 ??

[joeamos]

expensive pills thats lasted 2 days. water. everyone my best friend. awesome music. sure was good in 91 and 92. look at music and the culture now, we really had a good thing.

[pilgim]

@joeamos wrecked my teeth tho :(

[bensonchops]

love it that it such a old skool classic and people still love it !!!! i were at the start at the raves telling you it were AMAZING !! enough said xxx

[swiney007]

THANK FUCK for youtube (and youtube downloader for that matter)

[SpicyDragoon]

To think Nick Slater is one of my tutors at college XD

[filmflipful]

I think I'm in love with this. I remember dancing to it when I was 14 in a club..then later when I was older, properly when raving really kicked off. It was all 'i love you' and 'can I touch your face?" and 'those shoes are a-m-a-z-i-n-g', etc....take me back....please. please. please. xxx

[listerofsmeg36]

tune and a half, lies is my all time fave

[SarahMancGirl]

Pleasuredome Farnworth for me! : )

[herbistride1]

been searchin for this tune for ages !!! finely found it and what a tune it is !!! gives me goose bumps... early 90s dance the best !!!! bring back the old school ...... happy days !!!!

[subzero9976]

Would do anything for 1 more day in the early 90s, got a lump in my throat, hate this shit music of these dark days, people were so happy back then!!

[filmflipful]

@subzero9976 it's so depressing, isn't it? I reckon a lot of the kids these days just don't KNOW what they're missing out on, so they're ok with the rubbish music they're listening to. We were so happy clubbing it to this type of music.

[manicbassa]

@filmflipful but thats the thing mate they dont know what they are missing. Rcokers and punks could say the same about ravers. every generation has their own time. just glad wasn't isnt x-factor, justin bieber, katy perry etc lol

[filmflipful]

@manicbassa agreed!!

[Hereho]

@subzero9976 2 Steps beyond FANTAZIA this summer , your 1 more day is granted ;)

[joanna8009]

@kencabbage71 thank you for the lovely compliment, but i'm really a roots reggae and lovers rock singer. i am looking for work in these genre's but its difficult to come by these days!

[joanna8009]

no, i want allowed to PA on account of i was a size 14 and "not exactly video material". they had some sklinny dancer mime over my vocal.

[matodono1]

@joanna8009

Ouch! Yeah sorry to hear that. You deserved to sing live, but that explains a lot. @ Brum Rag market May 91 and @ Raindance and later @ Aston Villa leisure centre. Your vocal was always the same as recorded and the lead was always live. Well anyway thanks for your reply thanks again for a classic tune, hope you are well and much love...

[fanofheadroom1]

love these old tunes

[diaspora101]

Love this tune!!!

[isaynobuff]

defo it was Mary K(not TTF)that did voice

[joanna8009]

@isaynobuff were you there in the studio? no.. but I was!! unless you have sound evidence,as i have (check the original sleeve on the Album, which doesnt credit ANYONE for session vocals), photographs of me both recording and sitting with MY PERSONAL FRIENDS in the studio, invoices from ZTT for payment, bank statements showing the money going into my account, and witnesses, the band themselves,, you cant dispute who did what, or when. i bet you werent even born in 91.. bloody cheek..

[greghanway2]

wat an old skool tune 1 of de best !!

quality

[TheDjClasse]

I'm not sure about the comment from Joanna doing the vocals cause the bloke singing is not sampled. I saw them at the void in stoke a couple of years ok Djing. One of the guys created the beat by just tapping the deck with his finger and the Mc sang it and it was without doubt the same voice. I invented the tin opener you know!

Great upload though. Takes me back.

[joanna8009]

@TheDjClasse the male sample was on the HAPPY FEELINGS EP,which was an ABC sample(I've seen the future) that was refused copyright... not SOUND OF EDEN. i did state this clearly. having watched Rayan Hepburn sing the vocals myself on SOUND OF EDEN, I can verify that it is indeed his voice. seeing someone on stage and being in the studio with them is not the same thing, by the way.

[bulgan78]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[isaynobuff]

R U SURE U DID VOCALS ON THIS TRACK , AS I THOUGHT MARY 'K" SANG??

[joanna8009]

@isaynobuff who the hell is Mary K? are you sure you are talking about the ORIGINAL 1991 recording and not the cover made in 2006 or whatever? why would i be confused about work i got paid to do? i clearly remember going there, doing the vocal, having pictures taken in the studio (which i still have, showing me with in very dodgy 90's shortsuit with headphones messing up the hair i had gelled very carefully) and eating KFC with Nick, Lanx and Ray on the sofa in the reception!!

[isaynobuff]

AMAZING TUNE.TOTAL METRO CLASSIC!!!! COUPLE OF BISCUITS AND DANCE ALL NIGHT,AND BEANS 2 sleep OF COURSE ,ME + WIFES TUNE

[MrLuciusz]

UK House rocks. Thanks for doing the great vocal work.

[dazbate]

well joanna 8009 i love this tune,love ya vocals to ...... many happy memories attached to this and many other tunes x

[custardbreath]

ooohhh the memories...all we had to worry about back then was who had the poppers and tiger balm...anymore........BABY!!!

[gazbo91]

@custardbreath

I was always the one with the poppers, and the queue of people behind me. not exactly the best thing for keeping a low profile.

just a shame that poppers are crap these days.

top top tune

[p4r4s1t32007]

@gazbo91

yeah cos you need to keep a low profile when your a poppers dealer cos they are class A drugs and all that, they aren't even illegal and they were never illegal

[holmsy69]

you did a great job hunnix

[dearest1jo]

Fab song. Reminds me of dancing with Bernard in Cornwall. RIP mate x

[Fleebee459]

[tokerno1]

[jumper1270]

There's nobody out there who has better memories of this tune than me.. I tell you big big memories. what a tune only 26 but you know something it was all about the 90's.

REINFORCED COME BACK FiRe!!! hahaa

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

"i sang on the same mic as Seal" - what does Seal's saliva smell like?

[joanna8009]

lool i dunno.. they had a a mic cover over it to stop that shit!

[DomRampello]

again,classic tune,great nights, one of those that takes u straight back.

[joanna8009]

i did the vocal on this track... the accapella and the backing on the chorus.. the rest was sampled. we went to ZTT studios and i sang on the same mic as Seal, who was also with the label at the time. i was 21, and had never been in a proper studio before. if you listen carefully i am half a second out of time cos i was so mash up i couldnt get it right... happy days

[crazyjonhere]

@joanna8009 hope u got paid well for it as its a classic nowadays in the clubs,dont worry about being mashed together most of us were well mashed listening to it back in the day, these days we just cry when we hear it its still a great tune be proud of it a tune that will go down in dance history as a true classic

[dannymoy]

@joanna8009 One of my all time favourites Jo - Do you still sing? Dan x

[joanna8009]

yes i still sing now and then if i'm paid well enough, but i went back to my first loves, Roots Reggae and Lovers Rock, which my voice suits much better.

[christifoly]

@joanna8009 fairplay to ya lady, top top tune, brings back so many memories. Shades Of Rhythm-Bullring Birmingham. I hope you are well joanna8009.

[woodyatlarge]

@joanna8009 You should be proud of yourself...this song is an anthem in music history.

[boma23]

@joanna8009 half the greatest tunes from this time were a bit out, inc Sweet Harmony, maybe that's way we love them all so much :) be proud x

[ModeONvalencia]

thank you for doing this work! peace&love from spain

[HardcoreJungFunk]

dont worry joanna, the overall feel works on the tune, which is what matters!still sounds great on a big system all these years later.CHOOOON!!

[totallypixelated]

Those were the days...!

[Robertissimo]

@joanna8009 if you did the vocals on this track you will live forever in legend as being the voice that inspired many to dream images of botticellis venus...I dont think you could get a greater accolade than this! respect \0/
