[1979]
Totally hits and memories...
Novelty electro-disco baby!
The fourth biggest single in Australia in 1980!
Totally forgot this one. Haven't heard this since I was eight years old and in primary school.
Apparently there's an entire LP by Player [1] based around this computer game theme, niftily titled Game Over (1980).
Not a hit outside of Australia but many would be familiar with the bass-line here because it was sampled on On And On (1984) an early Chicago house classic by Jesse Saunders (which I wrote about here).
[1984]
On And On - Jesse Saunders
Where I wrote: "Some people don't realise that house wasn't always a lame genre so here's some house before house got defined. No piano riff-age or acidic squelches here. On And On is still rudimentary and raw utilising specific disco elements but rearranged for maximum pleasure. Unhinged synth lines, primitive drum machine hand clap breaks galore and loops into the future."
