mag

Another three letter mixtape for this pick. Four different extended versions on this pick, that started with Earth, Wind & Fire. I guess I could have called it ewf. But it's a mix of disco and new wave and pop. Not so much the big hits, although a couple were. I am not convinced that all these 12 inch versions were the best versions of the songs, but they are all interesting and I don't always use the long versions, so I thought I would on a few of these. I don't have an extended version of the Michael Jackson song, but it seems ripe to have one. The ZTT mix of Grace Jones is brilliant and horrible at the same time. Sonicwise it's great like most all the ZTT related stuff (Frankie, Art Of Noise, etc) is, but it's also annoying in a way. Either way, it's what I chose.

  1. This time your random three letters spell out mag, An abr. for Magnificent, magnitude, magical, magazine etc. The German word "mag" means like. Ich mag dir = I like you. The Dutch 'mag' is something more. Ik mag je = I like you. But "Ik mag" also means, I am allowed, just as "Ik mag niet" means It is forbidden.
    Now some possibilities (als het mag = if it is allowed)
    Corry - Van Oma Mag Alles

    Jacques Herb - Een man mag niet huilen
    Anita Berends - Je mag gerust even huilen
    De Dijk - Mag het licht uit
    Back to Corry. She was the voice of the biggest Dutch hit ever.
