OK, I have an old casette tape that belonged to my sister. Actually, my sister got it from a cool, wild friend of hers back in the late 80s/early 90s. The tape is a DJ's mix from a club called Club 6400 that existed in Houston, Texas in the late 80s/early 90s ... I think. A friend of mine, who grew up in the Houston area, thinks the club could have been on a street called Richmond Avenue in Houston ... since 6400 sounds like an address or block number on that street. Anyway, my sister is 30, and I am 25, so when she went to college, she left all of these casette tapes behind. I found this one and loved it. It makes me think of The Cure and the Goth culture of the late 80s. I am trying to identify songs on the album. So far I have idenitfied these songs:
1. Poesie Noire - Pity for the Self
2. Depeche Mode - Route 66 (Nile Rogers mix)
3. Clan of Xymox - Obsession
4. Pet Shop Boys - Sound of the Atom Splitting
5. Front 242 - Headhunter
6. Poesie Noire - Pity for the Self (remix, in which a woman says something like "Got a disease" over and over again)
I don't even know who Poesie Noire and Clan of Xymox are. I think Poesie Noire was from Germany. There are many more songs on the tape. The one I am trying to identify right now is basically an instrumental song. It sounds kind of like "Blue" by LaTour in a weird way. It has the sound of drops of water, and it has a man saying "Ah" in a sexual way over and over again. The only words are something like "The Landscape" or "The Last State" about four times, with the fourth time being a slowed down version. Also, there is a part where someone whistles. There is also a part where someone says "Live Long Power" or some phrase that sounds like that.
Here is a link to a RealAudio version of the song ....

The weird thing is that I was never into New Wave 80s music or The Cure or Depeche Mode or Goth music of the 80s, but I like all of this. The first time I thought of music as gothic was when I listened to Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, and Tori Amos, I think ... but we won't go into that.
Thanks any help you can give me! I know there are some of you out there who want to test your musical knowledge! Give it a try! Ha! I am such a nerd!

p.s. Since I only have a casette tape version of the song, I had to play the tape on a jam box of mine, use my PC's microphone to record the song as a wave file, and convert it to RealAudio so it would be smaller in size. Therefore, the quality is not that great. It also contains a skip for some reason ... but that has something to do my pitiful Microsoft sound recorder, I think.
p.p.s. Has anyone ever been to a club called Numbers in Houston? My friend was talking about it tonight. He went there during the middle 90s I guess and had the best time of his life. I think they would played a lot of the music mentioned above.
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
I just listened to it & I think my ears are bleeding. :-/
;D LOL!
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
ha, I know, it is not the best song ... and the recording is definitely not the best quality ... especially the one you are having to hear ... but it sounds better within the context of this tape it is on ... and the bass sounds cool, too. someone just told me on another cool forum(@forumz.com) that it is a remix of "Everything Counts" by Depeche Mode. Now, I am on Kazaa trying to download all of the remixes of "Everything Counts", but there are not that many available. Thanks for the help! Later,
Mark
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
Art of mix has a cool remix of "Everything Counts" on their Ultra Hot Series:
www.artofmix.com
The cd's are $10.00 USD. Highly recommended.
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
It is Depeche Mode, it's a club mix of "Everything Counts" and you can find it on Depeche Moe 101. It was cool, it reminded me of the going out to the teen clubs in the 80's.
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
(BTW-- Clan of Xymox is from Holland & used to be known simply as Xymox. "Obsession" was probably their biggest hit in the U.S. They are constantly changing their style.) 8)

Club 6400 was indeed on Richmond in Houston Texas. And yes, it was the address. It burned down some time in the early 90's. :(
I have a few posts on this board with a good list of songs that I remember from going to 6400.
If there are anymore songs you need to ID, I may be able to help! :D
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
cool ... thanks TX! I'll have to tell my friend that. Later,
Mark :)

Numbers! I remember that club. I used to live in Houston, and I went to numbers in the mid 90's. At that time I was around 18 or 19. I probably ran into your friend, but never knew it.
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
This thread is how I found this website.
I remember 6400 very well. I used to club there in the late 1980's. As a matter of fact I did not know of a person who did not club there. Everyone I knew went there. It was the place to be.
I also have alot of the music they played there, and what I don't have my best friends owns, there is a handful of tracks they played that I still don't know. I have alot of it on 12" singles and cd's. Some of those 12" singles went out of print as fast as they hit the stores. Needless to say I got alot of them when they were coming out.
I spent a few hours on the phone with a old friend who clubbed at 6400 with me back in the late 1980's. We don't remember Nile Rodgers doing a remix for Depeche Mode. Strange since Niles sound you can hear a mile away and it sounds nothing like anything Depeche Mode has ever done. Also they only played one version of Poesie Noire "Pity For The Self". That may be a track that sampled bits from "Pity For The Self" ala New Scene's "Out Of Control" with Front 242 "Headhunter" and Nitzer Ebb "Murderous" & "Let Your Body Learn". Or they mixed in parts of another song. The version 6400 played of "Pity For The Self" is the same version that is still played today in Houston clubs such as Numbers and others that still do retro nights with that sound.
6400 was at two different locations on the Richmond strip. The first was at 6400 Richmond. It burnt down in the fall of 1989. It was then moved to 6130 Richmond. I wanna say they closed it down sometime in 1990. I stopped going there around the spring of 1990, and moved on to Heavens, Rich's, and Avalon. I must say that 6400 is the more known club from that time, but there was so many other clubs around that was playing that type of music. Clubland and Decadance was two others that comes to mind. My personal opinion is I thought Avalon was a nicer club then 6400, but 6400 was the best when it came to music.
I have ol' 6400 friends who have come to me over the years trying to get me to go to clubs like the Roxy who does 6400 nites. I never want to go, after Blue Planet's version of 6400 in the mid-1990's I would like to stick to my 12" singles and memories. They can't do it like 6400 did.
I would like to be of help if you have any questions about that music.

Eh?? 101 is their infamous live album recorded at the Rose Bowl in California, where a film was also made! (A film which will be out on DVD soon, if anyone is interested. ;D) I have 101, and there are no club mixes of anything on it, unless it's been re-released with extra tracks like so many CD's are these days.
The last song on CD B is "Everything Counts," but it's live, and was released as a single...probably because of the touching moment at the end when the audience was singing the chorus over and over, with David Gahan watching in pure awe. :D
Absolutely Vile
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
By the way...unfortunately, the link to the song didn't work for me (maybe I was too late?), but I hope it's not the Tim Simenon/Mark Saunders "Bomb-Beyond-The-Yalu" Mix of "Everything Counts" because it's bloody awful. :) I'm partial to my "Everything Counts (In Larger Amounts)" 12 inch single. :)
Absolutely Vile
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
I stand corrected. Nile Rodgers did do a mix of Route 66. That mix was on the Earth Girls Are Easy soundtrack. My memory is failing me in my old age. lol!
Vile - The mix they are talking about is taken from Everything Counts Live that I had on the US 12" single. I want to say it was the first track, and the name of the mix was Bomb The Bass Mix.
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
eeeew..."Bomb The Bass" would have been Tim Simenon, the same guy who did the remix I mentioned. If it's the same one I have, it's unlistenable, I think. I just couldn't get through it. The whole feel of the song was completely ruined.
Absolutely Vile
Subject: Re: Name that tune, please!
Hey Mrc77, did you get the song? If not email me and I will email it back to you on MP3. I went to Xcess more then 6400, but I have all the music from 6400. I also went to #s a few times. The best time was when we went to see FRONT 242 in concert. I also liked Thursday's because you could get a bottle of Corona for $1.00.
