Subject: Re: HI_NRG cuts
Really-From: Tavares@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA So far, the only hints I have gleaned from this list is that it is linked to the gay culture and uses a lot of synths. Could somebody please give me some example of Hi-NRG bands or cuts so that I can place what it is you are categorizing? How about anything that Bronski Beat has done in the last 9 months? The 12" of _Johnny, Remember Me/I Feel Love_ with Marc Almond and the newer _Hit That Perfect Beat_ are both two good examples of the kind of thing that makes me imagine being in a smokey crowded glitzy dance floor with tons of mirrors and a million gay men swooning around and doing nitrous until you're so wasted that you pass out. The beat just keeps getting faster and faster and more hypnotic. The kind of thing that *feels* drug-induced if you want to hear it and can give a migrain if you don't. /jordan
