Moopy's Greatest Dance Anthems - Semi-Final 4: THE RESULTS

[ButterTart]

I think this was my first real exposure to trance. I was fucking obsessed with it.

 

[dmlaw]

Robert Miles dead now, of course.

It's a dangerous job. I only learned this week that Brainbug has also gone to the big set of decks in the sky.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

There's very little quite like Children. It was SUCH A BIG HIT!

So sad sounding

 

[straightorbroken]

I would have voted for LMC and the one woman Mount Rushmore face had there not existed a far superior edit of Whitney and U2. The quality difference is night and day. Still, a deserved #1 that was just a little on the tacky side.

 

[ButterTart]

but I really fucking love Children.

SO pleased you got 'fucking' and 'love' the right way around.

Is it the Shena one?

 

[COB]

Robert Miles also QUITE FIT back when he was alive and not dead, of course.

 

[ButterTart]

It's a dangerous job. I only learned this week that Brainbug has also gone to the big set of decks in the sky.

WHAT?

 

[straightorbroken]

He video to Children is incredible. It really does capture that sense of wonder you'd have in car journeys and how amazing the radio was to you.

 

[straightorbroken]

Atlantic 252 was my station of choice.

 

[ButterTart]

Also the lead singer of Plummet is now a corpse. This rate has truly been an Oscars obituary reel.

 

[dmlaw]

WHAT?

Heart attack during a concert in 2016.

 

[straightorbroken]

Is it the Shena one?

No, the Whitney and U2 one unless I'm missing something?

 

[ButterTart]

DJ Quicksilver - Bellissima. I don't think I've ever met anyone who dislikes this song. It came 19th in this semi, and is yet another @Tisch pick.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Bellissima really is just so infectious!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Robert Miles also QUITE FIT back when he was alive and not dead, of course.

 

[dmlaw]

Bellissima is properly stunning.

 

[ButterTart]

Heart attack during a concert in 2016.

At least he died doing what he loved, clutching his arm and struggling to breathe.

 

[straightorbroken]

I always thought of Belissima as a cheap Sash! knock off that didn't even have a vocal (the horror). Quite good isn't it?

 

[straightorbroken]

It needs a bootleg mix with Ann Lee's 2 Times.

 

[ButterTart]

No, the Whitney and U2 one unless I'm missing something?

I found a Shena version earlier, which I thought sounded like your sort of thing.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Heart attack during a concert in 2016.

Truly the Tommy Cooper of dance.

 

[dmlaw]

I always thought of Belissima as a cheap Sash! knock off that didn't even have a vocal (the horror). Quite good isn't it?

If there's one thing that this rate is bringing home to me, it's that vocals are often over-rated.

 

[ButterTart]

This one came 18th, but looked set to finish top ten in the early showings.

Space Brothers - Shine.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think I discovered Shine during the last rate and has become AN ALL TIME FAVOURITE.

 

[ButterTart]

This really is a fucking LOVELY song.

 

[ButterTart]

I think I discovered Shine during the last rate and has become AN ALL TIME FAVOURITE.

Same!

 

[straightorbroken]

Ah Shine. The first guy I ever did anything with (we went up Carlton Hill for added romance), he was obsessed with this song and got me hooked on it too. The lyric about the sister is a little cringe, but it's rather majestic and this would have been perfect to playlist after Dannii and her untouchable Dis.

 

[straightorbroken]

I found a Shena version earlier, which I thought sounded like your sort of thing.

JX Shena? I'll have a rummage for it later for sure.

 

[ButterTart]

Now THIS ONE nearly didn't make it in, you Godless shower. Luckily it had a late surge and ended up 29th.
Plummet - Damaged (Antillas Mix). The sound of my second year of uni.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Damaged gives me the chills.

 

[straightorbroken]

Damaged is very good. The classic balloon running trick to get on the train, we've all done it.

 

[dmlaw]

I don't see how Plummet wasn't an obvious qualifier and a possible top ten. It's lovely.

 

[COB]

DAMAGED

 

[Alla]

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHh

 

[ButterTart]

Damaged gives me the chills.

Yeah, it always gets me. So dramatic.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Damaged is very good. The classic balloon running trick to get on the train, we've all done it.

I find them quite a hindrance when running for public transport.

 

[straightorbroken]

A TLC bootleg would be something of a treat. I think being a Dannii fan has bootleg brainwashed me.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Me and COB furiously debating which tube station that was.

 

[ButterTart]

Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Tiesto mix). I was tempted to put the full 9 minute version on here, but that was pure indulgence.

Anyway, this came sixteenth, and we love to see it.
