Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Saturday night contemporary music show, here is the 12″ club mix of Stardust performing Music Sounds Better with You (1998, 6:41), which some have called the greatest house song ever. Do try to keep it under 115 dBc please, think of your neighbours 😉
From the Paradise Garage image link above: “No liquor was served, and the club was not open to the general public. Unlike other clubs of its time, the Paradise Garage was focused on dancing rather than social interaction”. This was, of course, a fascinating development for those Aspergian who enjoy certain kinds of spatio- temporally and logico- mathematically structured music, such as Bach and Mozart, and who like to dance to it, or at least to simplified- for- dance derivatives thereof; just rather alone, not socially.
But let’s be honest, 115 dBc clean and with headroom is difficult to impossible for an individual to achieve (you’re talkin’ tens of kilowatts of amplifier output stage power for a decently sized acousitc space), so basically you need to get a bunch of people to dance alone together to cover the engineering costs. Umm, where was I? Oh yes…
