Y'all remember Imagination? I was just listening to some of their stuff the other day. I know some of you R&B/Disco fans might remember them. They practically invented House music with this one track.....uh....I forget the name of it.
But, yeah, they got some pretty cool jams. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

OK, now I remember some of the songs they made: "Bodytalk", Flashback", "Music and Lights", "Changes", etc.
Good stuff. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

I like Bodytalk a lot. I'm not sure how your supposed to dance to it though. | |

Wow! Now I'm reminded of "Burning Up." Loved this one!
Did they also do "Just an Illusion?" (Or something like that?) | |

This English group made some cool club jams. However, this track was there strongest in my opinion. | |

I remember playing it on a 45 when I was like 7 or 8 in New York 1989, but I forgot it afterwhile. No wonder why I liked it!! Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Ok, let me see if some of ya'll are as old as me. Do you guys remember BET before Donnie Simpson took over Video Soul and there was some big dude in costumes playing videos?
Anyway...Illusions was one of the videos that was played over and over and over along with Stephanie Mills, Michael Jacksons' rock with you and even Prince, I wanna be your lover. My mother used to just crack up at the one dude who wore a lotta lip gloss (with the headband in the pic) ....I never understood why she was laughin' until I got a little older. | |

U should listen 2 Just An Illusion, kinda Princey. I would be inclined to say sorta. When I first heard the instrumental of the song, I thought it was P until I heard the vocals and then I knew it wasn't him. Oh, I got to say that when I have flashbacks of the video, it was kinda like Slyvester. Damn, those silver suits in the video were hideous as hell. [Edited 11/27/04 21:15pm] | |

How did they sound? Ah hell, they probably weren't singing live or were they. Please provide some info. the lead vocals seemed to be sung really live, the music came from a tape of course. His voice was still fine, unlike for example Midge Ure who sounded like a bad.... well... Midge Ure sorry, I couldn't google up a clip from the show, just a bit of info -> http://www.sevenonemedia..../index.php other acts that performed were: Sydney Youngblood: If only I could Ryan Paris: Dolce Vita Fancy: Chinese Eyes-Medley Steinwolke: Katherine Imagination: Just an Illusion Midge Ure (Ultravox): Vienna Black Box: Ride on time Alison Moyet: Only You und Windmills Camouflage: The Great Commandment Irene Cara: Flashdance und Keep on dancin’ Hubert Kah: Sternenhimmel Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet): Gold Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green.

abierman said: scary..... THOSE WERE DUDES???? And black ones at that? I thought the singer was a woman. When I heard of them I heard they were from England but I never saw them. Wow! You learn something new everyday. They made some cool songs. Flashback and Illusion were the cuts. Do they have a Greatest Hits of any kind cause I'd buy it. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |
