New Leak : "9 to 5 People" (1988)


This song just leaked.



Sounds like a live recording. Lots of reverb. Heavy guitar, heavy drums. Quite cool. Trying to place what else it sounds like..... I guess, "Bambi" would be the closest thing but vocals aren't falsetto. But in terms of the instrumental structure and vibe.


It's quite cool. Digging it!

And the info on Princevault is quite vague. ('assumed'...)

The feel of this song is 'live', it appears a bit unpolished but perhaps that feature has its charm...

Doesn't really sound like a 1988 track, but is great.

Good one. I hope no one PMs me for a link because i can't give one out. I really want to and would be tempted to but I know it's against the rules so I woudl not. But if you have any other general questions, feel free to PM me.

But I like this one...really great sound quality and just super cool to hear.

It's a little Crystal Ball-esque. The drum part reminds me of Hot Thing. Some sonic elements from Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic. Great song !!! Many, MANY thanks to the kind soul who gifted this one!!!

Holy moly - that guitar made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

And I agree that it doesn't really sound like 1988.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I thought that to. I only listened to that a couple of times, the sound was just so poor.

Hope that leaks soon.

Big Thanks to whoever leaked this and the other tracks it's been a great few days.

This track definitely rocks! It sounds like 1988 hard core with the guitar tones and lyrics. It sounds like it was recorded at a soundcheck.

This is great! Very difficult to place, though...

The way P projects his voice or something in it reminds me of "Love"

Funny. The guitar parts are pretty close to the guitar parts on the new single by Harts ("Power"). razz

Yeah, it's really a Hendrix-thing, but I just had to take notice.

I know it's from a different era but it kind of reminds me of the style of some of the stuff he did with 3rd Eye Girl.
