Robin Gibb – Secret Agent (320k)

Robing Gibb of Bee Gees fame came out with a synth-pop album “Secret Agent” in 1984. It has couple of really decent cuts plus plenty of hand claps and “woooo ooo oooou ooo” vocals in choruses which is always regarded as a strongly positive extra around this house.

Now everything would be just fine if it was saturday afternoon instead of sunday since this song has more that kinda edge – like getting ready for a dangerous night or something. I feel adventurous.

LYRICS

I grabbed my hat and I went walking in the rainy night.
My world turned upside down.
I heard the roaring of the engines of a DC3.
I’m Casablanca bound.

The stewardess was standing staring in a fashion
that could only take my breath away.
The pilot’s voice came on the intercom and
told me he was working for the CIA.

Oh…
And he’s lost in a dangerous world.

So keep on running, running in the black of night,
secret agent,
Just keep on running, running at the speed of light,
secret agent.

Oh…
Oh…

Ooh. And three days later I was woken by a lady in black.
She took my photograph.
And in the safety of the shadows
threw her cameras down the elevator shaft.

She ran and stumbled in the darkness of the empty streets.
My job had just begun.
And without a warning I was shaken by a blinding light.
Didn’t see the gun.

Oh….
And he’s lost in a dangerous world, ooh.

So keep on running, running in the black of night,
it’s your secret agent.
Just keep on running, running like the speed of light,
it’s your secret agent.

Oh…
Oh…

Oh oh secret agent
Oh oh secret agent, agent.

Look out.

So keep on running, running till you get away.
You’re a secret agent.

So keep on running, running in the black of night.
You’re a secret agent.

So keep on running, running in the black of night .
You’re a secret agent

Just keep on running, running like the speed of light.
‘Cause you’re a secret agent.

Just keep on running, running till the break of day.
‘Cause you’re a secret agent.

Just keep on running, running till you get away.
‘Cause you’re a secret agent.

Julian Jonah – Jealousy And Lies (Alternative Dance Mix) (320k)

British house music! Really lovin’ the cover of this 12″ release. “Jealousy And Lies” was a big tune in the old days within Uk house/club scene. Here’s the Alternative Dance Mix version which has more percussion in it than the original mix. Few years before the turn of the millenium Julian Jonah went onto the uk garage tip for example as other half of the 187 Lockdown. In the early noughties guy was producing house again, with some disco flavour this time.

Armando – Land of Confusion (320 kbps)

Acid-house pioneer Armando produced a few classics in the late 80s including “100% of Disin’ U” and Land of Confusion. Sadly he died of leukemia way too young, at the age of 26.

Aren’t we all quite excited about the re-launch of Trax Records with the upcoming release by Azari & III?

This version is from the  Trax Classix cd-compilation which is shorter in length than the YouTube-clip presented here.

Kim Wilde – You Keep Me Hangin’ On (12″ Version) (320k)

Yeah, I know. This was quite a hit back in the 80s. It was also first hit song for Kim Wilde since “Kids In America” (1981). Tune’s originally a soul classic by The Supremes. This cover is a synthetic disco/synthpop re-work of the original with slightly changed lyrics. The nine minute duration of this version is almost too short, could continue on for a few more minutes.
