Now re-upped in 320.
An anonymous person requested Apparently Nothin’ in the comments section of the Young Disciples EP/Move On EP, and I felt moved to oblige.
To be fair, I can’t believe this track isn’t on here already, it’s such an undeniable, bona-fide, classic, and it’s the sort of track that should be on first, before any other tracks are added, kinda thing - it really is that big a tune.
You all know this song. It was the gem in the crown of the UK urban music scene in the 90s. A modern day funk masterpiece, no less. I’d even go so far as to say it is arguably one of the finest slices of music to ever come out of the UK (then again, the YD’s are one of my all-time fave bands, so I’m kinda biased). It was covered by the Brand New Heavies (I have their version laying around somewhere if anyone is curious), but it plain wasn't as good as this original release. There really isn't much to say about this song that you won't already know, I guess.
This CD single contains no real surprises - there's the version we all know and love, as well as a shortened Radio Edit, and an Instrumental version (yay!). There's also the Soul River version, which appears on the album, which has that wicked Rhodes/wah-wah opening.
Ladies and gentlemen, Soul Vendor is proud to present the mighty Young Disciples, Apparently Nothin’.
That is all. ;)

Kymba,
ReplyDeleteYou're reactive, quick and you bring dope stuff galore all over the place. Thanx for your regular updates.
Agree with you. It had to be here on the blog, even though there's not much apart from the instrumental.

"I would like to see posted here....

Come on guys, lets see a a little payback. Kymba is happy to share her collection, let's hear what you got, not just what you want?
Speaking of Apparently Nothin' does anyone have the Brand New Heavies version (I think the single was released in 97/98) and the Saturday Night single?
