Phew! where to start...
one that i'll always remember is Runaway Train - Soul Asylum. The significance of which (unastoundingly enough) was when i was trawling through Oxford Street after visiting some Music Hardware shops on Denmark St/Tottenham Ct Rd etc.. HMV was a welcome retreat from the maddening crowd. Anyway, the song (which i love btw) was playing over the P.A in the store at the time.
And it couldnt have been more apt (the title that is). Never again!! What a mad, mad place London is
F**k me Woolly we'd be here all day with this thread. Good stuff!

Sometimes the song/tune doesnt have to be that memorable...and like smells in the wind, certain sounds really do bring the flashbacks big time.
for example
Ace of Base - All that she wants (fecking god awful song) but the memories of Turkey that evokes are in many ways clearer than any photo i could look at from that mid nineties jolly.
(maybe these are clues to happier times) i dont know...

it's strange isn't it, smells & sounds/songs bring it all flooding back like images never could smelling an ex's perfume will always remind you more than a photo ever can

Diving faces by Liquid Child. Sort of an Ibizaish trance ditty which is evocative of the times before the kids came along, all nighters, double esspresso's and back into the flow next day before collapsing a night later.
Somebody once said to me that once you have experienced a "rave" type atmosphere while being under the influence so to speak, every time you subsequently hear that type of music your mind and body is instantly cast backwards as if in a time machine.
I think they're right. i was driving to a little country town byt he name of Hororata yesterday which must be about 70km outside of christchurch. The road is pretty much poker straight and deserted, the scenery typically stunning New Zealand with the Autumnal hues and breathtaking views of the Southern Alps. On the stereo as I was bombing along I had God is a DJ by faithless. Bouncing off the inside of the motor I was, whilst in my head I was in "The End" off Tottenham Cort Road, fizzing rerady to pop. Music does indeed paint a picture sometimes.

Funny you should mention Faithless Mick, I remember listening to Nightwatchers Insomnia (I cant get no sleep) at the Lizard festival a few years back. It f.ucking rocked
Now I'm going to check it to see if its on my other computer, if so I'm going to take a few moments and revisit the Euphoria of the Lizard festival.

yeah jean jacques smoothy, cool tune
there were always some brilliant tracks whenever you went on holiday, loads of different places all over the med each summer. spiller's groovejet in 2000, atb 9pm til i come from 1999, nalin & kane's beachball from 1998...
god i even remember being in fuengirola, spain in 1988 and you could sense that summer there was a massive change coming. most of the bars were still full of english muppets with mullets listening to rick astley but there was a few bars & clubs down the marina where things were different - much cooler music, cooler people, fitter birds, people from all over europe not just england music like electra - jibaro, beats workin - sure beats workin... happy days
