Anne Clark – Our Darkness (Original Version)
Many folks consider this song to be an early precursor to house, the thumping steady beat in the background was unusual for the early 80s. Unlike other songs of the dark wave genre, there is a lot of anger in this song – a relentless release of feelings that struck me the first time I heard it. It’s very manifesto-like.
A remixed house version can be found on the Felix Da Housecat album A Bugged Out Mix by Felix da Housecat.
These days I only have time for music, my only interest seems to be music. The times feel rather dark. Most of my posts for the near future will be music related. Come back in a month for other topics.
She really is a standout.
Credit must also go to David Harrow who I imagine is the lad in the video. He often did the synths and programming for ON-U records and remixes.
Ok, I’ll stop namedropping. Your posting my favorite records. Hope things get brighter.
