Back to 1995 now, with this lovely track from Dreadzone, an uber-optimistic paean to a multicultural Britain that, at that time, many people thought would come about. It seemed more believable then, and more worthy as a goal. Now it seems both unachievable and undesirable. But still, this song to it is joyous and a lot of fun.

If this doesn't get your head bopping up and down, there's something wrong. Uberly catchy experimental pop from the 2000s.

The rare full-length version of Annie Lennox's song Little Bird. I love the outro!

#1980s #Britain #miserablism

Post-Twotone melodrama from the Fun Boy Three. Oddly catchy.

Obscure Britpop/boyband Catch had this tepid hit in the halcyon days of 1997. I liked it.

John Prescott clapping awkwardly while the nightmare of Blair's reign officially begins? Only one song can possibly spring to mind...

Vic Reeves & the Wonder Stuff with their bizarre 1991 hit Dizzy. The video for this, which I had recorded off TV on a VHS and therefore saw many times, was something else.

The Human League's 1980 ode to the fourth Doctor Who, Tom Baker.

EMF with one of their album tracks from Schubert Dip (1991) - which, yes, does contain THAT song. I'll put that one up later.

I love the title of this song - "Girl of an Age" - but only if it means "girl of a [moment in time]". That's very poetic, I think.

EMF with their iconic early '90s track, Unbelievable.

"What the fuck WAS that?"

One-hit wonder Ann Lee with her one hit, but what an enjoyable song, 2 Times.

The Shamen with their excellent 1992 hit song Ebeneezer Goode, here in its album form which some would consider superior to the single version.

Another classic by the Shamen, the title track from their masterful Boss Drum album of 1992. Shamanic anarchistic archaic revival!

The Crimewatch theme is surprisingly exciting:

Mentioned in the New Year's Day 2022 AMA, here is the "Vix-Vapo" remix of Altern-8's classic Activ-8 (Come With Me). Crucial listening for 90s kids.
