@DaSuthNa: I’m not sure whether the Metro story is truth or myth, but I certainly remember those low notes ripping the speakers of my stereo at home, and the network engineers at the ABC complained when we played it on air. Ah, LFO! 20Hz square waves than only whales and elephants can feel! If only there’d been digital audio all through the chain in those days — a lot more speakers would have been destroyed.

@Snif: The layouts were by Acb Tyson, editor of The Core, though I recall that I had a lot of input into the 1990 design — it may have even been me.

@Richard: Glad you enjoyed.

One good thing about ‘Groove Is In The Heart’ is that jazzman Herbie Hancock must have made a tidy sum from it.

Can’t wait to hear you playing these tracks on ‘oldies’ FM in another 16 years’ time. ; )

Out of the ones I am familiar with, #3 & #8 are worthy choices. Guru Josh is a catchy bit of silliness. However, I would like to like to collect all copies of Groove Is In the Heart and throw them into the nearest black hole. It’s not a bad track, but #1 it’s massively overplayed and #2 I’m sick of seeing GenXers trying to relive their youth in 3-4 minutes every time they play this track. PEOPLE IT’S OVER — GET OVER IT.
