Title: Tom Robinson Band: Power In The Darkness Post by: AlainGr on November 28, 2016, 12:21:33 pm I do not suggest specific music often, as I consider myself quite "commercial" in my choices. This one will not escape that comment.
The last time I heard that song was about 37 years ago. I was attending a place with good music, girls and beer, not necessarily in that order ;) I was of course going there for the music only ;) There was that song - an energy song (also protest song). The guitar has something edgy that I love! The riff is very repetitive, but man is it addictive... Anyway it is for me. I could not control myself but step on the dance floor and swing my heart out. I had never heard about it since then, but wished to get it someday. Well I found it.

I have that track here (WAV). If you like I can pop it over to you. Regards, Peter Title: Re: Tom Robinson Band: Power In The Darkness Post by: PeterSt on November 28, 2016, 08:41:01 pm I did not research it, but why does this sound so much the same as the J. Geils Band ?
Title: Re: Tom Robinson Band: Power In The Darkness Post by: AlainGr on November 29, 2016, 07:21:16 am Hi Peter,
I did not explain myself well. By "finding it", I meant that I looked for it (TRB = Tom Robinson Band) on Amazon and on Qobuz. I finally chose to get it from Qobuz. In fact I got the two studio albums (Power In The Darkness and TRB2). They are good! It never occured to me (one of those "hiatus") that I could find that song before with Google... I was so excited this last week-end, I listened to that song at least 25 times (not for each year missed but almost). When my emotions connect with a song, I can really get crazy about it :). And yes, it was a time when I would get on the dance floor and swing like a "spring"! I always had problems with Progressive Rock and Jazz... I can't sense the melodies. As if I need something "animal" to feel good. I like some of them of course, but I must admit that I dig the most "commercial" tunes. As for J. Geils Band, I agree with you. There is something familiar and I happen to like that band too (Gettin'' Out, Must Have Got Lost, Detroit Breakdown, etc...) I just ordered a Cd from Ian Dury and the Blockheads :) I don't know why I waited so long... Like Bad Company sing: "Live For The Music"... Kind regards, Alain |
