Somewhere Anywhere f Claude Eman, "Back Together"
One of Devo's later singles was entitled "Post Post-Modern Man," and these days, I feel a bit like a man living in a Post Post-Modern era, as I keep running across songs that sample songs from my adolescence, which were themselves built upon samples from other records. First there was the surprisingly-not-terrible new Fergie song, which sampled Future Sound of London's 1992 "Papua New Guinea" (which was itself built around a Dead Can Dance sample). And now one of my favorite new dance groups, Somewhere Anywhere, is sampling one of my favorite old dance groups, Utah Saints.
This one uses the same whooping hook as Utah Saints' 1993 dance hit "Believe in Me," which was sampled from an old disco record by Crown Heights Affair. Except where Utah Saints used this sample to ramp up the intensity and the BPM, Somewhere Anywhere go for a more relaxed, summery vibe.
