shit without Eno.

Ready for the world - Oh Sheila

John Rocca - I want it to be real

Cameo "Single Life" is simply one of the best songs ever
written. From when it came out until this very day, that has
been a constant sonic companion.

There's a DJ Dreamgirl on MySpace and she did this great
Electro mix that drops Cameo in there, and it sounds so
awesome.

Metro Electro mix

More great mixes on the MySpace page

My recommends for 80s? A lot of good ones already mentioned,
my pick

Election Day - Arcadia

I'm so glad you know that song!!! In a lot of Cameo songs,
they do this thing where theres a simple funky groove, that
suddenly has some brilliant chord changes. I find it hard to
explain, but in the vid its where the gangster guy smashes
his hands in the table. Its sooo good!!

Theyve made a lot of brilliant tracks. "She's strange" is
also a favourite.

Ah heck, heres a link for you

She's strange

Checking out that remix ASAP
