[Get Grooving with Classic Albums] Eurobeat from Around the World: Recommended Popular Tracks (61–70)
Don’t GoYazoo
Yazoo, formed by Vince Clarke, a founding member of Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet.
Although this track received little airplay on radio stations, it was highly acclaimed in the American club scene and reached No.
1 on the dance chart.
Eat You UpAngie Gold
I imagine there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know this song.
It became a huge hit when Yoko Oginome covered it.
Some people who aren’t familiar with Western music even said things like, “A foreign singer is singing Oginome’s song!”—it’s a classic example of a cover version becoming more famous than the original.
Hot LoveJenny Kee
It might be fair to call it the final form of Italo disco at the dawn of eurobeat.
By this stage, the baseline and rhythm already establish the core template of eurobeat.
If you add metallic percussion, shouts, orchestral hits, and a distorted guitar sound, then speed up the tempo, you get the basic form of later eurobeat.
Does that give you a rough picture?
Coco JambooMr. President
A track released as a single in 1996 by the German Eurodance group Mr.
President.
It reached the Top 10 on charts around the world.
It was sampled in Djdanc’s 2015 track “Coco Jambo.”
I’m Gonna Get YouBizarre Inc
Bizarre Inc is a dance-techno band formed in Stafford, England.
This single became their biggest hit not only in their home country but also in the United States.
It reached No.
1 on the US Dance chart and peaked at No.
47 on the Billboard Hot 100.
