Club Escape’s “Perfect List” 1991

Triple J Club Escape Perfect List 1991: click for a close-up

OK, I lied. I have managed to find a hard copy of the Club Escape Perfect List from 1991.

As before, this is a list of the “best” dance tracks released in 1991, as chosen by the crew at Club Escape, the Adelaide-based dance music program on Triple J.

I wasn’t involved in Club Escape that year. I’d already gone on to The Core magazine — and indeed this list is taken from The Core issue 12, from 15 January 1992. So the people to blame for this list are producer John Thompson-Mills (”JB”) and presenter Paul Kitching.

[Update 6 September 2007: I've linked to as many of these songs as I can find on YouTube. Some of them may not be the exact mix played on air, but you get that. Enjoy. And if you find any others, please let me know.]

Top 10:

1. De La Soul: Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)

2. Quadraphonia: Quadraphonia

3. The KLF: Last Train to Transcentral

4. Enigma: Sadeness

5. Rozalla: Faith (In the Power of Love)

6. T99: Anastasia

7. Crystal Waters: Gypsy Woman

8. PM Dawn: Set Adrift on Memory Bliss

9. LL Cool J: Mama Said Knock You Out

10. Sabrina Johnston: Peace (In the Valley)

New York DJ and producer Moby is giving away music. mobygratis.com is for “independent and non-profit filmmakers, film students, and anyone in need of free music for their independent, non-profit film, video, or short.” Nice.

Take my hand…

31 March 2007 in Media, Music, Personal by Stilgherrian | 6 comments

It’s totally safe. Our journey involves YouTube, a cleanskin Cabernet Merlot and that blurry hour before the sleeping pill kicks in. There is no need for alarm. Let us begin…

  1. All systems are go!. And once you learn the lyrics, sing along!
  2. Play the Countdown version and/or the Bandstand version, and explain which you prefer.
  3. Discuss whether the follow-up single release was a mistake or not.
  4. Should I admit to owning an autographed copy of that band’s album, or explain how it came to be in my possession?
  5. Does the knowledge that the album was produced by Ian “Molly” Meldrum change your answer to the previous question?
  6. Are cover versions ever acceptable?
  7. Does Adam Richard speak the truth?
  8. Come to Daddy.
  9. Grand Finale.

You may now each ask one question related to the above. I shall answer truthfully.
