T-Coy - Cariño
Ripped from pre-release 12" vinyl single released on Deconstruction Records (M6222) in 1987 to high resolution 24-bit flac. As I said previously....something very different, and after a certain withdrawn Age Of Chance single, one of the most requested re-posts here on ESWA.
Back in those heady days, I only ever ripped to mp3, so now at last, I finally got around to the high rez re-rips. Depending on which camp you are in, house music was either ruined by the Brits, or blossomed to become huge by the British hunger for dance music. Regardless, T-Coy were the pioneers of the genre in Britain (make that Manchester) and never really received the success or praise due at the time. Mike Pickering went onto form M-People, co-vocalist and percussionist Simon Topping packed up his bongos and took to piano tuning, and sadly keyboard whiz Richie Close passed away in 1991. Though not everybody's cup of tea, their unique form of latin-tinged house music did get my toes tapping and I was particularly drawn to the melancholic and minimalist simplicity of Regret and the percussion driven Da Me Mas. I've ripped all three of their original singles for this post (complete with B-sides) for those who also like to tap their toes from time to time. Many of you may not have seen this video.
