Welcome back, music lovers. Last week was 1979, so let’s use 1989 as a bookend. Change was all around us, although we hadn’t quite figured out what that would mean until much later. House music was hitting the mainstream. This track by 808 State was released in the UK in 1989 on the ZTT label and later in the US under the Tommy Boy label:
This was one of those combos who hit their peak very early on. But during the waning days of the 1980s and the first few years in the 1990s, they were a big deal. Perfect chill-out music.
While this blog is a thing, I’ll keep up with the themed music cafes and hopefully can spin a few tunes as time permits. Cheers!
