@davidgerard I remember that short craze with some addection.
I was taught Gregorian chant in the 60s including how to read the original notation so it was interesting to hear a recording of the actual professionals doing it.
And in case you are wondering I was 14 at the time with a fine soprano voice so I was not really Gregorian chant material but the choir master insisted! 😀

@davidgerard we all need to start doing the Waaaaaazuuup greeting again to just see what happens

@davidgerard 👋

@davidgerard

Oh yes. I bought several ... cassette tapes of them. Asked for them for Christmas and shared some with an elderly Anglican aunt.

@davidgerard The worst bit was when people who should have heard the Gregorian Chanting suddenly caught on to it *months* later, going "Ooh! Have you heard this Gregorian Chanting!"

@davidgerard
The Vast album Visual Audio Sensory Theater is still a certified banger.

@davidgerard There was a delightful parody.

@davidgerard remember the band VAST? That album rocked.

@davidgerard I remember Enigma - sadness part 1 was on Now That’s What I Call Music 19.

@davidgerard I think I remember that. I'm still into them as a result.

@davidgerard

It was longer than a month. It wasn't the only strange music trend of the 1990s. Scatman John had a hit song. The Charleston was remixed into a Eurodance hit. There was a swing revival. "Cotton Eye Joe" remix.

Look up a song called "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe".

@davidgerard Ah. So that's how all the demons of hell were unleashed.

@davidgerard Still must have a CD somewhere - you know, those plastic and aluminum discs that we were using to listen to music before mp3 players (you know, those small devices... oh damned modern times)
