*this makes a good topic for a new thread though: what are your
*favorite "one hit wonders"?
Oh, boy. There are so many...
A Guy Called Gerald - Ok, he put out more than one single, but they weren't
actually succesful, were they.
Mr Monday - A classic house tune from this one man house act, but what
happened after that?
Fortran 5 - "Heart on the Line" was a classic pop tune, but the follow ups
have been, well, less satisfactory.
Ultraviolet - Again "Kites" was a classic tune, but now followed with the
grandiose disappearing act.
Together - Remember "Hardcore Uproar"?
Tuff Little Unit - I wish they had made another record (well, they made two
but the second was generally unknown).
2 Men a Drum Machine - "Tired of Getting pushed Around" was probably meant
to be a one hit wonder from the very start.
Hardfloor - In a way they only made a one tune. But boy, was it a good one!
The Age of Love - They're success was more due to Jam & Spoon than themselves,
so I guess they'll be one hit wonders unless they find
another pair of magic remixers.
Modus Vivendi (on WARP) - or maybe it's too early to call them one hit
wonders?
Massive Attack - Their album was one *big* hit for me. And then nothing.
Why, oh why...
Joi - Baby Ford's labelmates only put out one record on Transglobal and blew
me away. I hear they're active on the PA rounds, but I haven't heard of
any new releases.
Spill - William Orbit's pop band with an unknown female singer provided the
*the* pop single of '92. Does anybody know where I could find the
album (if it exists, that is).
Colourbox - Classic northen house sound. Where's the rest of it?
And last but not least, remember the "band" that put out "It's Grim up North"?
A classic one hit wonder, if there ever was one :)
cheers,
samu
