1990 radio house classics

There was a time, from 1990 to 1998, that there was this sort of house music that was execrated by everybody that a minimal electronic musical taste: it was the "radio house" genre. Radio house was developed in the wrong time in the wrong scenario. Electronic fans were still listening to the last techno tracks - and its subgenres, when they were fading away. I certainly was one who had Goa on my head and would not listen to nothing else that were not Detroit techno, Chicago house or Goa. So, there was this boom of dancing music on the radio, the Radio House. It was a capital sin, back then to go so commercial, to be played in FM stations. But there they were. I remember how I used to turn off the radio whenever I would listen to the likes of Captain Hollywood, Culture Beat, Twenty4Seven and the likes.

 

Technically, a lot of pianos, which gave them a melodic touch we miss today. There were atmospheric tracks too, "I Like You" has a touch of blue, sadness, that makes it refined to my ears nowadays.

 

20 years now, and I wish I had appreciated them more. For, if they weren't as rich as Goa, techno or Chicago house, they certainly were much better than the things we listen to now on radios. I listen to them now and wish they could have gone on for a little while more. This sounds like of me apologizing for my friends who danced to 'More and More' while I went to the bar to drink. Here are some I have found in Youtube. Of course most of these tracks are very well known by most of us here in Psynews, but I guess a lot of people don't know them. Enjoy!

 

Culture Beat - I Like You

 

La Bouche - Be My Lover

 

Captain Hollywood - More and More

 

Twenty4Seven - I Can't Stand it
