House music is a massive EM genre worldwide.


Klein & MBO - Dirty Talk 1982
is the very First House single : Italiano disco.

Blue Monday by New Order 1983 perhaps the most recognisable dance tune of all time
was inspired from Klein & MBO

Chicago house 4 years later was inspired from Klein & MBO
From Chicago House, House became a massive EM genre worldwide.


However I would say MF1 pt3 is the first proto House.


Listen to its rythmic drum pattern, sequence groove very Latino House :

slow it down by 17bpm;
make Bass down an octave or two.

Extend intro 05sec-09sec by quadrupling so melody arrives at 22sec not 09sec.

Replace pad sound with distorted Rhodes :
57sec, 2min14, 3min32, 3min45 till end

1min11 completely remove this lead line for the whole of the track
(also 1min49, 2min14, 3min07, 3min45 till end) it's cringy cheesy, also clutters the track :
It's the only track JmJ ever made that is cluttered due to this.

2min15 remove horrendous "strangled cat" from EMS Synthi AKS.

2min40 keep the break it's brilliant

4min27 keep emotive solo it's superb.

:::::::

There we have it.
Ingredients for first ever House music is in MF1 pt3

Ha! Dirty Talk, I love that song. I once bought a "Back To Mine" by the Pet Shop Boys. The first CD was a Chris Lowe CD, the second Neil Tennant. Chris' selection had Dirty Talk, followed by Passion by The Flirts and then Ti Sento by Matia Bazar (amongst others). That's an amazing set of tracks there. I didn't know Dirty Talk at all, but I had it on repeat for days.

But to get back to the subject: Donna Summer's I Feel Love might be the proto-house track.

But yeah, MF1.3 fits that "genre" (if I can call it that) absolutely. I think the solo at the end is one of the best things he's ever done. A terribly overlooked track, especially by mr. Jarre himself.

I love Pet Shop Boys so was thrilled about Brick England. I read an interview with Neil Tennant and he says it was Passion by The Flirts that made him want to make music.

Yeah, Passion is a Bobby Orlando production. Bobby O was a huge influence on their early work. In fact, they recorded West End girls with him (which didn't do much chart-wise at first, only the second version became huge) and he co-wrote a song on their first album. Compare PSB's In The Night with Passion and you know who influenced them. Bobby O also wrote stuff for Divine, like Shoot Your Shot and Love Reaction, the latter sounding a little bit like a track which was already named earlier in this topic

Yes - so true! Since this post, I have listened to this break a lot to check. Properly amazing.
