When this was released life was so much better. Raves to go to, people to meet, memories to be made. I'm 50 now and I want to go back and do it all over again. I can't be the only one.
Yes, it's a pretty solid track, isn't it? I was just thinking to myself - "This is where it really started. Look, I get it... Blue Monday came first, but this is the true start point..."
70 ? ok where is the problem ^^ you had 20 like me :) i'm 45 and yes like you say : this tune ignite me for sure i remember the first time earin this ...yup my teenage period ! a 1977 boy Grettings from Belgium :)
I told people the same thing. This song is so underrated, saying that it's ahead of this time would be considered an criminally understatement. It was made in 1989 and it's been that great for over 3 decades and still counting.
Yeah, our era, right? I'm 47, after some orientation Acid House was a big thing, Baby Ford my hero. This song he was awesome and more on the mainstream side. Then I like Prodigy etc., XL recordings. Then there was WARP. Lfo, RDJ, Ae, that was a revolution. I love to remember good old times. But today is still awesome. Always find new music hypes. Classical music, but e.g. today I love Khruangbin or Ic3peak. At home in many genres. For the IDM heroes, Ae are still solid.
47 male UK, loved this track with my then girlfriend, 2 wives and 5 children later, I shoulda listen to the whole 'solitary brother' message, ha! Best wishes to all the old codgers in this thread :)
I’ll never forget hearing this the first time on TOTP. Adamski’s masterful minimalist soundtrack combined with Seal’s passionate vocals? It was a game changing moment. These few years were such a golden time of artists who would never have been considered for airplay before, and I just bloody glad I’m old enough to say I was there! Soundtrack to a tragically and beautifully misspent youth. Just as we all intended in those days.
First time I heard this it was when I bought the 'Much Music X-Tendamix Dance Mix '92' compilation because I wanted the song "Twilight Zone" by 2 Unlimited (I was 11 years old). lol And I still love this track and blast all the euro music I used to buy in Toronto. Music back then was seriously amazing!! Biggest inspiration to my music I create now a days.
June 2020...Now I'm 46 years old and when I close my eyes, I feel like I was a teenager. Then I open my eyes and look in the mirror... My face has gotten older, but the laughter in my eyes, when I hear the music of that time, is the same that I had as a teenager. I'm too 💯%sure it's YOUR THING! In our hearts we have ALL remained young ♥. A lot of love and hugs to all who read this, send you my like-minded, Mara Rooney from Austria 🇦🇹 🤗 😘 🤗 ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ 🤗 😘 🤗 EDIT: Wow, it's Saturday the 22nd of january 2022 and I am very happy about all your likes and all your kind comments.

30+ years old and still sounding futuristic. It was regarded as being more commercial dance-pop at the time for many, because it charted and featured a proper singer (lol) but playing it back today, those 808/909 drums hit as hard as any underground acid-house tune of the time. The piano is killer, as are the vocals. It really can't be faulted.
I have listened to it countless times right from its inception but truly I didn't hear it, today when I listened I finally heard and felt all the elements coming together in unison, it still sounds fresh 3 decades later.
Just dropping in again in February 2024. It’s still totally awesome! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this tune. Seal is magnificent. 😍 this will never be surpassed.
I’m 19 found this track on a vinyl i got from my dad and i cant stop playing this song, it brings a vibe i cant feel from music nowadays. Now i cant cook and clean without it :)
You are great...have a great taste in music...I heard it in 1991 in all shops around London ( loud)....nobody plays any music these days....I loved it and still do!
I sense your feeling nostalgia and you wasn’t around the time majority of us were shaking it to this tune in the clubs you would have liked those days life was simple compared to now
80s and 90s - when You have to be musician, You had to have talent. Even on the pop/dance stage, everybody knew how to sing, play, the had knowledge about music. This was giving QUALITY. Now, money is enough and You can be on every each radio. Even if You have no voice, no music skills, nothing. This why this modern so called music will be quickly forgotten, when 80s, 90s will stay forever.
🙋Muito show!!!Esta música, foi composta pelo Seal e, lançada em 1991 mas, parece que não chegou aqui no Brasil!!😮 Curtindo muito!!🎧😁😎✌️✌️🇧🇷 Obrigado, CZcams!!!
I liked this when it was out , I'm now 41 and love it more than ever. 90,s where such carefree , fun time to be alive. Ppl got on at events. Not like these days where ppl are bieng thrown in the face of clubbers on the dance floor. Glad I'm not a teenager these days.
This and World in Motion are the sounds of the best summer ever for music, football and fashion! Don't forget James, The Charlatans, Stone Roses, Inspiral carpets...F'kinhell, what a time to be alive and to be young!
I'm 58 and God I love this song, I'm a 80s person TBH, but the 90s were amazing and awesome. Both 80s and 90s brings me back to the clubs and pub life ❤️❤️❤️
1990 was a great year for dance. This is timeless. Along with mantronix got to have your love which charted early 1990 in uk . Absolute ‘killer’ bass line on both tracks and still are banging today tomorrow next year forever…….

I remember listening to the bbc top 40, outside having beers with my mates on a warm sunday evening in May 1990, when Adamski hit No. 1. I bought the 7" single, the next day. I wanted the 12", but could not afford it! I was 16 years old. I still have it in the attic! My son laughs at these records, but money cannot buy good memories of teenage years. I was into dance music big time. Inner City, Nenah Cherry, Blackbox etc was my fix. Good times!
Its 3am the air is thick with smoke golden scans and strobes the rooms boiling and your peaking hard ,the bass is pulverising you into oblivion your young your beautiful and theres a tribal feeling of euphoria. Its 1990 and im 18
U just left out my reebok princess boots now called workout glowing up under the fleresentlight n the fact that it was so good there that even if we did notice we didn't care getting everyone's sweat dripping on us from the ceiling 😅😅😂🤣...OMG happy times ❤
There is simply no other song in the world, that impressed me more than this one, the first time I heard it. I was literally blown away, and I couldn't stop thinking about it all day long. It felt like being in love.
Erm well to give them their dues, the last few years have seen a few existential indie-dance hits get to number 1. 'Prayer in C', 'Are You With Me' and 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza' to name a few. 'Prayer in C' I'd say was pretty nuanced.
Real clever on-beat / off-beat switch in this hook. In the first bar, the bass notes hit with the bass drum. Then it does a little "shuffle" at the end of the bar and then it's alternating bass drum and bass notes in the second bar. The "shuffle", though, from the on-beat to off-beat is a clever little delay (supported by percussion to help disguise the switch), so you kind of don't notice the switch take place. The on-beat - on the one - gives you impact. The alternating off-beat gives you forward motion, like it's leading you into the next on-beat... on the one. This is actually very much a funk-like rhythm, to exploit the off-beat but come back to be "on the one" - but expressed in an electronic style. That's really "the secret sauce" of this choon, lads.
The intelligence, the taste, the message... Who will ever say it's just a dance track?.. Wow what an amazing song. Still brings the tears in my eyes. I think these guys nailed some most deep human emotions so this track will be relevant forever.
British House music producer Adamski recorded an instrumental called 'Killer' in 1990 and he decided to look for a singer to front it. The singer he hired was a pre-famous Seal, although he wasn't credited on the single. Seal wrote his own lyrics, and despite the fact that "Killer" doesn't appear in the lyrics and the words make no hint of it either, Adamski decided to retain the original title. Adamski said in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "I met him in a club where he approached me to tell me he was a singer. Just hearing the things he was talking about, I thought he was brilliant, so I became friends with him. He wrote the lyrics to the song and then recorded it in one take." ..Seal blossomed whilst Adamski faded away
Happens a lot in music, particularly with instrumental artists. As for the lyrical thing that also happens a fair bit, sometimes the vocalist will base their lyrics around the title of the song and sometimes they won't. Ghosts'N'Stuff by deadmau5 is another example I can think of where the lyrics have nothing to do with the title due to the instrumentals being made well before the thought of including a vocalist had even occurred.
Truth be known Adamski fried himself on drugs and no label wanted to deal with him shame as he was the best electronic artist at the time setting a standard for likes of Prodigy!
Adamski took too many of the old E's. Fucked his head up but no denying it.... He was a talented producer and that bassline hook is up there with the best electronic or otherwise!
A timeless rave classic, these producers are the modern day composers as they add and blend layer upon layer of samples both harmonically and seamlessly.
An absolute masterpiece.They'll be playing this on CZcams and radio stations around the world for the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : ) November 20th 2023.
M6/M61/M62/M63/M66 driving - well passenger - in other people's cars... Those Londoners just had to deal with one: The M25. Music and times. BEST! M55 occasionally! They were good.
Every part of this tune each loop and break etc The production is immaculate The builds are more relevant now than ever...... This was about 20 years ahead of its time...... seals voice is perfect...adamski is on fire!
Still a great song! Back then (and still now) I was and am a sucker for any kind of electronic music (any genre as well) and this one was and still is one of my favourites.
its a great track,i love adamskis music but not ahead of its time ,there were alot more progressive and more underground tracks at the the time ,but this did have a pop feel to it and he was a great live performer ,one of the best at the time i would say.
@@carolinegunn2578 , wrong. Adamski is a play on Adam's name, he was a solo artist and this WAS a collaboration with Seal. I had the 45" in 1990 and it clearly stated ADAMSKI featuring SEAL on the sleeve. It is indelibly marked on my brain as it was number one when I had my first baby.
So you want to be free? To live your life the way you wanna be Will you give if we cry? Will we live or will we die? Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister is there still a part of you that wants to give? If we try and live your lives the way you wanna be yeah Tainted hearts heal with time Shoot that love so we can stop the end Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister is there still a part of you that wants to give? If we try and live your lives the way you wanna be yeah Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister is there still a part of you that wants to give? (x3) Racism in among future kings can only lead to no good besides all our sons and daughters already know how that feels yeah yeah yeah yeah
Me too! Im 54, and I thought the 80s were great! But this track from the 90s was a classic. I wish I could go back to my youth. People say thats not being grown up and mature, but I dont see it that way. It can honestly say it was the happiest Ive ever been 😊
It just may be that we were that age at the absolute best time to be that age. The world, our relationships and interactions with others were so peaceful then. I will never understand the constant need for conflict nowadays and I've had as much as I can take. We all have a snapping point.
Can't believe this song is 30 years old! And this was number one song the day i was born! :D This is my jam from now on, a pity i discover this just now! Thanks quarantine!! :/
La escuche hace 30 años, Sigue con la misma fuerza, con un subidon de energia positiva cada vez. Por otro lado, me invade la nostàlgia de una época pasada maravillosa e irrepetible.
Remember seeing this on the itv chart show on Saturday lunchtime with my brother and laughing at seals spinning head, good memories and an awesome track
Was honored to be in the tiny tea tent at glastonbury in the early 90s, listening to some dude quietly jamming away on the guitar, low and behold it was Adamski.. Amazing!
Drago mi je što još ima onih koji se sječaju vremena u kojem se cijenilo sve što je sa stilom , originalnošču i magično ljepo . Samo sječanje na takve pjesme nas dovode do boljitka u kvaliteti života .
The song that brought SEAL to the attention of the public, I remember MTV played this a lot at the time in the UK and for some reason Seal's spinning head was a bit unsettling to me when I first saw this video. The sound oscillation behind him reminded me of a mad scientist's lab too!
One of the best 'early' dance tunes.. ever..that came out of the British Isles! Timeless and will be listened to by our great great great grandchildren. A message that still rings true today...
He is a genius and very intelligent Adamski and real name Adam Paul Tinley (born 4 December 1967, known professionally as Adamski, as well as Sonny Eriksson, is an English DJ, musician, singer and record producer, prominent at the time of acid house for his tracks "N-R-G" and "Killer", a collaboration with Seal, which was a No. 1 song in the UK in 1990. Career Tinley was born in Lymington, Hampshire, England. As a youngster, influenced by punk rock and John Peel, he formed his first band The Stupid Babies when he was 11 and living in New Forest in England. He persuaded his 5-year-old brother Dominic to sing while he strummed a small guitar, and sent a demo tape to the indie label Fast Product, run by The Human League's manager Bob Last. "Everyone thought that was a really precocious and strange thing for an 11 year-old to do," Adamski recalls "but I just thought that's what everybody did". The kiddie-punk tracks were released on a sampler. When alternative BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel started playing their song "Babysitters" the band caused quite a stir, receiving positive write-ups in music magazines like Smash Hits and Melody Maker. He performed with his brother Mark Tinley, and Johnny Slut of the band Specimen, as Diskord Datkord. They released their only single in 1988, an electroid cover of "Identity" by punk band X-Ray Spex. It was single of the week in NME. In March 1989, Adamski was booked for his first solo gig at Le Petit Prince Restaurant in Kentish Town, run by his manager Phil Smith. Lenny D, promoter of nightclub Heaven, happened to be walking past, and was convinced by Smith to book Adamski for an all-dayer at Heaven. He quickly catapulted into the upper echelons of the nascent rave scene. Within a few weeks, Adamski was playing to 8,000 people at Sunrise Festival at Santa Pod Raceway and, after a bidding war, signed to MCA Records, producing the first rave record on MCA called Liveandirect. He had success with this first release, which was a collection of tracks recorded live at various raves. It contained a short, live version of his first single "N-R-G", as well as "I Dream of You", which appeared on a free 4-track 7" vinyl single given away with the music paper Record Mirror in 1989. The cover of the single "N-R-G" featured a mocked up Lucozade bottle with the word "Lucozade" replaced with "N-R-G". Adamski toured many clubs with his portable keyboard set up, playing long sets, with an MC, Daddy Chester, and later with Seal. In front of his keyboard was a UK car number plate with the word ADAMSKI on it. Early versions of future singles "Killer" and "Future Love Paradise" were played on some of the Seal dates. The album, Adamski's Thing, was issued in late 1998 on Trevor Horn's ZTT Records label, recorded at Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound studios. The style followed the trend started with his 1992 album Naughty, with guitars, strings, raw vocals and introspective lyrics, but maintaining a rhythmic dance sensibility. Adamski's Thing spawned two singles, "Intravenous Venus" and "One of the People" (a record featuring dance vocalist Gerideau, that got to No. 56 in the UK Singles Chart). Throughout the late 1990s, Tinley shifted focus to his DJ career. He soon adopted a new moniker, Adam Sky, touring Europe, and making the odd UK appearance such as playing at the electroclash night Nag Nag Nag in London in 2002 - run by his old friend Jonny Slut. As a producer, his songs at that time also included a collaboration with musician Danny Williams. In 2007, he released a remake of The Pop Group's 1979 single "We Are All Prostitutes" with Mark Stewart, which appeared on a number of compilations. His single "ApeX" was released on Kitsuné Music in 2006. In 2009, he began to release more material on Shir Khan's record label. In 2009, he found his way back to the UK to start his Futurewaltz project, working in the 3/4 time signature. Tinley’s latest alter ego is cyberbilly Sonny Eriksson - a self-styled Teddy Boy fusing rockabilly and psychobilly styles with the hypnotic, strange and electronic sounds of today and beyond. In 2020, Adamski released Free To Kill Again, featuring 10 new interpretations of "Killer" with guest features by Boy George, Nina Hagen, Adrian Sherwood, Mykki Blanco, Hannah Hu and others. In 2022, Adamski released "Black Butterfly", featuring Robert Owens. The track is a tribute to Mina Smallman's daughters Nicole and Bibaa, with all proceeds donated to the charity Million Women Rise. Remixes by done by Captain Mustache, Leeroy Thornhil (The Prodigy), Mr. C (Superfreq), and Shadow Child. In October 2022, Adamski released "Black Star Acid" on Boys Noize Records. Timeless masterclass and very intelligent Adam Paul Tinley.
Aged 57 but we had the best times with music culture cars you name it best of times black white all cread man love all brothers not this divided crap respect all human 😎
Seals voice and this track, it's just wonderful. All credit to Adamski tho, he picked the perfect singer and this made Seals career. A 360 degree winner.
So you want To be free? To live your life The way you wanna be Will you give If we cry? Will we live Or will we die? Tainted hearts Heal with time Shoot that love So we can Stop the bleedin' Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister Is there still a part of you that wants to give? Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister Is there still a part of you that wants to give? If we try And live your life The way you wanna be Yeah Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister Is there still a part of you that wants to give? Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister Is there still a part of you that wants to give? Racism in among future kings can only lead to no good Besides All our sons and daughters already know how that feels Yeah yeah Love, love, love
This song was on heavy rotation at a club I went to in 1990 . For about 6 months the club packed at weekends, no such thing as social distancing back then😃

Who still listening in 2020? I’m 53 and still have so much love for this sort of music and the era I love to remember in my life
49...same for me. It recalls memories of disco, dancing and no worries. I still love the music I used to dance in late 80s-early 90s
Yeah, our era, right? I'm 47, after some orientation Acid House was a big thing, Baby Ford my hero. This song he was awesome and more on the mainstream side. Then I like Prodigy etc., XL recordings.

ddad n us us oldies??? lobe you for it, please never lrt it die!!! 1 love, no lube ;)
This tune was way before its time. Never ages.
And better than George michael Version !
right in the time - 90s
How was it before its time? It's time was 1990. Or before? Or supposed to be release in 1991 and in 1990 it was before its time? Please elaborate.
@@MinekEzQMthey meant to say its sound was ahead of its time, like it could have been released in later times and would still sound have current
If it's ageless then it can never be linked to time😎😎

Seal has a very warm and soulful voice. That, set against Adamski”s hard beating electronic backdrop, is just magic.

nomad - i wanna give you devotion
the orb - little fluffy clouds
the justified ancients of mumu - it's grim up north
WHAT A YEAR!
UK, always with dance music one step ahead, in the end of the 80 s into the now Adamski Killa---> Chase and starus Baddadan , greetings from Germany
This song will never age in my opinion
Every time I hear it I crank the volume up, it’s a classic you can’t help but love
❤❤
Cranking up the volume I do that too classic tune.
I would like to hear it with a different combination of modernized trance beats with the rest intact.
I remember listening to the bbc top 40, outside having beers with my mates on a warm sunday evening in May 1990, when Adamski hit No. 1. I bought the 7" single, the next day. I wanted the 12", but could not afford it! I was 16 years old. I still have it in the attic! My son laughs at these records, but money cannot buy good memories of teenage years. I was into dance music big time. Inner City, Nenah Cherry, Blackbox etc was my fix. Good times!
I'm 38 in 2021; my mom introduced me to this music. Some incredible samples used in it. Adamski and Seal made a timeless track.
No samples on this you mean a secquencer
This track is where the Roland TR-909 drum computer really shines. All the percussive sounds are from that machine and sound really fat in this tune.
@@RutgerVos exactly and the sq-80
lol millenials always saying how old they are on other generation's videos
909 + SQ-80... no samples, mate!
Its 3am the air is thick with smoke golden scans and strobes the rooms boiling and your peaking hard ,the bass is pulverising you into oblivion your young your beautiful and theres a tribal feeling of euphoria.
Its 1990 and im 18
Well that made me rush 😅😅😅❤️
Also I was 17. Just 😘🤌🏻
U just left out my reebok princess boots now called workout glowing up under the fleresentlight n the fact that it was so good there that even if we did notice we didn't care getting everyone's sweat dripping on us from the ceiling 😅😅😂🤣...OMG happy times ❤
1st heard this in 1990 in a Nightclub called The Underground in Rhodes and it still sounds great in 2023
Killer drumbeat and hypnotic piano sequence. As fresh as a Spring tulip, year after year.
not to forget vocals!
Fantastic song that touches the soul and always will. Seal is as nice a bloke as you could ever meet, and his voice is a rare talent.
There is simply no other song in the world, that impressed me more than this one, the first time I heard it. I was literally blown away, and I couldn't stop thinking about it all day long. It felt like being in love.
45yrs old & still loving the bass. Music is our own mental time machine.
The 80s and early 90s were really the only time when you could take the charts with some epic existential anthems.
mobbaddict they dont make music like that anymore
Erm well to give them their dues, the last few years have seen a few existential indie-dance hits get to number 1. 'Prayer in C', 'Are You With Me' and 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza' to name a few. 'Prayer in C' I'd say was pretty nuanced.
Very true ,unlike the crap now
@@francofan100 Terrible examples. I doubt that any of the three songs you mentioned will be remembered like Adamski & Seal - killer in thirty years.
I was born in 1988 lol. Love 90's bangers. Grew up with legendary songs like this! N-trance is another example.
Real clever on-beat / off-beat switch in this hook.
In the first bar, the bass notes hit with the bass drum. Then it does a little "shuffle" at the end of the bar and then it's alternating bass drum and bass notes in the second bar.
The "shuffle", though, from the on-beat to off-beat is a clever little delay (supported by percussion to help disguise the switch), so you kind of don't notice the switch take place.
The on-beat - on the one - gives you impact. The alternating off-beat gives you forward motion, like it's leading you into the next on-beat... on the one.
This is actually very much a funk-like rhythm, to exploit the off-beat but come back to be "on the one" - but expressed in an electronic style.
That's really "the secret sauce" of this choon, lads.
The intelligence, the taste, the message... Who will ever say it's just a dance track?.. Wow what an amazing song. Still brings the tears in my eyes. I think these guys nailed some most deep human emotions so this track will be relevant forever.
British House music producer Adamski recorded an instrumental called 'Killer' in 1990 and he decided to look for a singer to front it. The singer he hired was a pre-famous Seal, although he wasn't credited on the single. Seal wrote his own lyrics, and despite the fact that "Killer" doesn't appear in the lyrics and the words make no hint of it either, Adamski decided to retain the original title. Adamski said in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "I met him in a club where he approached me to tell me he was a singer. Just hearing the things he was talking about, I thought he was brilliant, so I became friends with him. He wrote the lyrics to the song and then recorded it in one take." ..Seal blossomed whilst Adamski faded away
Happens a lot in music, particularly with instrumental artists. As for the lyrical thing that also happens a fair bit, sometimes the vocalist will base their lyrics around the title of the song and sometimes they won't. Ghosts'N'Stuff by deadmau5 is another example I can think of where the lyrics have nothing to do with the title due to the instrumentals being made well before the thought of including a vocalist had even occurred.
Truth be known Adamski fried himself on drugs and no label wanted to deal with him shame as he was the best electronic artist at the time setting a standard for likes of Prodigy!
Adamski took too many of the old E's. Fucked his head up but no denying it.... He was a talented producer and that bassline hook is up there with the best electronic or otherwise!
Adamski? very british name ;)
@@bryanjones5065 Was it all The Shamen's fault for saying 'E's are good' in one of their songs?!
This a timeless hit. Adamski and Seal for a song of the ages
A timeless rave classic, these producers are the modern day composers as they add and blend layer upon layer of samples both harmonically and seamlessly.
we didn't know it back then, but the vibe from this song was gonna live forever
One of the best most powerful songs of the time - I discovered this song in 1990 and I still LOVE it today and I'm 52! Miss the RAVES!!
The fabulous Adamski is still very actively making wonderful music and his new creation/ alter ego, the cyberbilly Sonny Ericsson, is just superb.
Who remembers when Geo Michael mixed this with his subway version of Papa Was A Rolling Stone?
An absolute masterpiece.They'll be playing this on CZcams and radio stations around the world for the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : ) November 20th 2023.
I'm 46 and still love this music too...takes me right back 😍
Me too and I'm the same age. You don't make 'em like this anymore.
me too
@Christine Ccolgate 44 just behind you.
M6/M61/M62/M63/M66 driving - well passenger - in other people's cars...
Those Londoners just had to deal with one: The M25.
Music and times. BEST!
M55 occasionally! They were good.
Me too, and I am 58!
Every part of this tune each loop and break etc
The production is immaculate
The builds are more relevant now than ever......
This was about 20 years ahead of its time...... seals voice is perfect...adamski is on fire!
I think it was more than 20 years, way the bassline works with different parts is still a bit ahead of time
Voice SEAL
Still a great song! Back then (and still now) I was and am a sucker for any kind of electronic music (any genre as well) and this one was and still is one of my favourites.
This song is 30 years old now and it's still cool! It was so ahead of its time back then. B-)
I don't think it was ahead of its time it was just a great song and still is
It's stood the test of time.
i lived it :) it was not 'ahead' it is just that today's music pales in comparison :-)

@Khristianskiy Zakon we can agree to disagree
Love Seal and his special and unique voice. And the collaboration with Adamski. Wow! And this track is way ahead of its time...
its a great track,i love adamskis music but not ahead of its time ,there were alot more progressive and more underground tracks at the the time ,but this did have a pop feel to it and he was a great live performer ,one of the best at the time i would say.
I think it was of it's time, whereas many other songs/groups not up the artistic challenge, just quick fluff.
It wasnt a collaboration. They were a 2 man group. Seal didnt exist as a solo artist until he ledt this group later on

@@carolinegunn2578 , wrong. Adamski is a play on Adam's name, he was a solo artist and this WAS a collaboration with Seal. I had the 45" in 1990 and it clearly stated ADAMSKI featuring SEAL on the sleeve. It is indelibly marked on my brain as it was number one when I had my first baby.
Great song! The tribute from George Michael to this song was sublime...
This song is 30 year old. Absolute classic. Well desiverd to be number one in the charts. Great clubbing days.
That song is connecting 80's and 90"s perfectly. Really good sound.
So you want

Right up there with Mozart and Beethoven and all those old guys...a work of genius
музика моєї юності)Мої вітання усім хто цікавиться такою музикою!!
What a beat! Beat of our youth
Me too! Im 54, and I thought the 80s were great! But this track from the 90s was a classic. I wish I could go back to my youth. People say thats not being grown up and mature, but I dont see it that way. It can honestly say it was the happiest Ive ever been 😊
It just may be that we were that age at the absolute best time to be that age. The world, our relationships and interactions with others were so peaceful then. I will never understand the constant need for conflict nowadays and I've had as much as I can take. We all have a snapping point.
Suddenly I'm 20 years old all over again
,
Idiots delight H me too
Yep.,know that feelin.
Yep!
aint it great.
I miss the old days the early 1990s was my childhood.
Loved the 90's. My fav decade. Brilliant dance music.
This is a beautyful and wonderfull and sensitiv Song. It's timeless.🥰🥰🥰😘
Cooler Song ❤
Can't believe this song is 30 years old! And this was number one song the day i was born! :D This is my jam from now on, a pity i discover this just now! Thanks quarantine!! :/
Nice
Please 90‘s come back....please come back soon an make my life complete 😢
Osc1llate W1ldly
Good
I’ll join you....and also the eighties.
Osc1llate W1ldly
Haha good one 🙄

Adamski & Seal😮1990 what a year for the music...
Seen Seal live . What. A. Voice ❤ was my crush THEN AND NOW
Listening to this on my pioneer shelf speakers in my mk3 escort. Great days.
La escuche hace 30 años, Sigue con la misma fuerza, con un subidon de energia positiva cada vez.
Por otro lado, me invade la nostàlgia de una época pasada maravillosa e irrepetible.
Comparto totalmente tus dos comentarios, amigo ...
2021 50 year old raver keeps raving 🕺💃💃
Remember seeing this on the itv chart show on Saturday lunchtime with my brother and laughing at seals spinning head, good memories and an awesome track
This song plays in a loop with the first CD player, when I meet friends before we went to a club long time ago...😊
Remember when songs like this used to get to number 1? What a great era that was
This brilliant track spent thirteen weeks in the UK Top 20 from April to July 1990: 20, 7, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 11, 16, 20, 18.
How good does this still sound. Never gonna complain about living through this epic era.
Never tire of this track,
This Is A Music Masterpiece In Every Single Way.
R. I. P Adamski. 🙏
Actually, Adamski is still alive and well.
Was honored to be in the tiny tea tent at glastonbury in the early 90s, listening to some dude quietly jamming away on the guitar, low and behold it was Adamski.. Amazing!
Remember this when i was a youngster.49 now and still love this and the 90's stuff.Best times
Drago mi je što još ima onih koji se sječaju vremena u kojem se cijenilo sve što je sa stilom , originalnošču i magično ljepo . Samo sječanje na takve pjesme nas dovode do boljitka u kvaliteti života .
Bravo brate
Still sounds fresh, still a classic and still better than any generic over produced music from the past 10 years. Fact.
What a tune love it 💯 awesome
Holy crap! Adamski is using an ESQ-1 synth, just like the one we used for films.
No Autotune!!! ❤
The song that brought SEAL to the attention of the public, I remember MTV played this a lot at the time in the UK and for some reason Seal's spinning head was a bit unsettling to me when I first saw this video. The sound oscillation behind him reminded me of a mad scientist's lab too!
Ik was zeventien en heb wat af gedanst in de club toen op dit fantastische nummer gewoon te gek!
SEAL ! my youth, i'm 50 now :) That time when just a 909 and a bassline did the job........ and one of the greatest singers ever!
One of the best 'early' dance tunes.. ever..that came out of the British Isles! Timeless and will be listened to by our great great great grandchildren. A message that still rings true today...
Fantastic is all can be said. What a track. Never dated and still sounds fresh. Makes your body come alive every time you hear this. Beautiful.
Best song ever
Steve Reeves
Yeah got to agree it’s one of them songs that just don’t age and sounds fantastic every time you hear it.

He is a genius and very intelligent Adamski and real name Adam Paul Tinley (born 4 December 1967, known professionally as Adamski, as well as Sonny Eriksson, is an English DJ, musician, singer and record producer, prominent at the time of acid house for his tracks "N-R-G" and "Killer", a collaboration with Seal, which was a No. 1 song in the UK in 1990.
Career
Tinley was born in Lymington, Hampshire, England. As a youngster, influenced by punk rock and John Peel, he formed his first band The Stupid Babies when he was 11 and living in New Forest in England. He persuaded his 5-year-old brother Dominic to sing while he strummed a small guitar, and sent a demo tape to the indie label Fast Product, run by The Human League's manager Bob Last. "Everyone thought that was a really precocious and strange thing for an 11 year-old to do," Adamski recalls "but I just thought that's what everybody did". The kiddie-punk tracks were released on a sampler. When alternative BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel started playing their song "Babysitters" the band caused quite a stir, receiving positive write-ups in music magazines like Smash Hits and Melody Maker. He performed with his brother Mark Tinley, and Johnny Slut of the band Specimen, as Diskord Datkord. They released their only single in 1988, an electroid cover of "Identity" by punk band X-Ray Spex. It was single of the week in NME.
In March 1989, Adamski was booked for his first solo gig at Le Petit Prince Restaurant in Kentish Town, run by his manager Phil Smith. Lenny D, promoter of nightclub Heaven, happened to be walking past, and was convinced by Smith to book Adamski for an all-dayer at Heaven. He quickly catapulted into the upper echelons of the nascent rave scene. Within a few weeks, Adamski was playing to 8,000 people at Sunrise Festival at Santa Pod Raceway and, after a bidding war, signed to MCA Records, producing the first rave record on MCA called Liveandirect.
He had success with this first release, which was a collection of tracks recorded live at various raves. It contained a short, live version of his first single "N-R-G", as well as "I Dream of You", which appeared on a free 4-track 7" vinyl single given away with the music paper Record Mirror in 1989. The cover of the single "N-R-G" featured a mocked up Lucozade bottle with the word "Lucozade" replaced with "N-R-G".
Adamski toured many clubs with his portable keyboard set up, playing long sets, with an MC, Daddy Chester, and later with Seal. In front of his keyboard was a UK car number plate with the word ADAMSKI on it. Early versions of future singles "Killer" and "Future Love Paradise" were played on some of the Seal dates.
The album, Adamski's Thing, was issued in late 1998 on Trevor Horn's ZTT Records label, recorded at Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound studios. The style followed the trend started with his 1992 album Naughty, with guitars, strings, raw vocals and introspective lyrics, but maintaining a rhythmic dance sensibility. Adamski's Thing spawned two singles, "Intravenous Venus" and "One of the People" (a record featuring dance vocalist Gerideau, that got to No. 56 in the UK Singles Chart).
Throughout the late 1990s, Tinley shifted focus to his DJ career. He soon adopted a new moniker, Adam Sky, touring Europe, and making the odd UK appearance such as playing at the electroclash night Nag Nag Nag in London in 2002 - run by his old friend Jonny Slut. As a producer, his songs at that time also included a collaboration with musician Danny Williams. In 2007, he released a remake of The Pop Group's 1979 single "We Are All Prostitutes" with Mark Stewart, which appeared on a number of compilations. His single "ApeX" was released on Kitsuné Music in 2006. In 2009, he began to release more material on Shir Khan's record label.
In 2009, he found his way back to the UK to start his Futurewaltz project, working in the 3/4 time signature. Tinley’s latest alter ego is cyberbilly Sonny Eriksson - a self-styled Teddy Boy fusing rockabilly and psychobilly styles with the hypnotic, strange and electronic sounds of today and beyond.
In 2020, Adamski released Free To Kill Again, featuring 10 new interpretations of "Killer" with guest features by Boy George, Nina Hagen, Adrian Sherwood, Mykki Blanco, Hannah Hu and others. In 2022, Adamski released "Black Butterfly", featuring Robert Owens. The track is a tribute to Mina Smallman's daughters Nicole and Bibaa, with all proceeds donated to the charity Million Women Rise. Remixes by done by Captain Mustache, Leeroy Thornhil (The Prodigy), Mr. C (Superfreq), and Shadow Child. In October 2022, Adamski released "Black Star Acid" on Boys Noize Records.
Timeless masterclass and very intelligent Adam Paul Tinley.
Aged 57 but we had the best times with music culture cars you name it best of times black white all cread man love all brothers not this divided crap respect all human 😎
agree.. feels like we were together then and now divided
Just figured this was number 1 when I was born. I'm happy with this 😂
1990........ if only it could always be that year
Seals voice and this track, it's just wonderful. All credit to Adamski tho, he picked the perfect singer and this made Seals career. A 360 degree winner.
I'm nearly 64 at the end of this year & still love this song ,as much as i did, when it first hit the charts ❤
wow! Still sounds good. Timeless mix!
This still bangs in 2020. Timeless

Seal was a really cool person back then. Met Adamski at a club in Trier, Germany. I never saw him after he had solo success.
Kickstarterd my love of dance music
Me too.
This song was on heavy rotation at a club I went to in 1990 . For about 6 months the club packed at weekends, no such thing as social distancing back then😃
The unforgettable voice of Seal.
Unforgettable Instrumental
