ABC music video. Here again I was hired to "open" and "close" the video-this time as Atlas. But you'll notice throughout the video I am shown angry, shouting, and in a couple shots, with horns! (A golden devil?)

A very rare and very cool video from one of my favorite New Wave bands. "Abracadabra" is an underrated gem of an album.

Why they didn't release the album version, we'll never know...soooooo much better :)
-
Abracadabra was so Overlooked!!. Great Soulful Album!, was one of the best albums of ABC~
-
this is obviously targeted at gay-dance clubs - the album mix is 10 times better

< I know this is Brito-Italo (!) thanks to the Black Box Groove Groove guys. ABC made a really good contribution to house music in fact, though not so well known. Most of that contribution, through originals as well as remixes, is available in YouTube to find - though it did take me a whole day of not so much less than 12 hours to find all of it. YouTube plain searches only do so much sometimes - it's darting about between the links that can find things.

Of ABC's really cool foray from introspective British pop soul into soul house and dance music in the late 80s to the 90s, this track singled out in its funkiness reminds me of the album in which Alison Limerick collaborated with The James Taylor Quartet ("In the Hand of the Inevitable"), a kiind of slice of a style of British funk - soul - house.
Not much is said of it, but JTQ's stuff was often house tinged or downright into house - especially tracks "Love The Life" + "See a Brighter Day".

I stick with the album version...

The problem with the remix is that they truncated the lyrics far too much - two verses and the spoken bridge are all chopped up. There was a great song in here before it was edited away.
The video is awfully '90s, isn't it? Colors, editing, those backcloth sheets with the rippling wind behind them... ugg!

The video is "awfully '90s" because it was created IN THE 90s!
