Bus Stop Feat Carl Douglas - 1998 - Kung Fu Fighting CDS FLAC





"Kung Fu Fighting" is a disco song by Jamaican vocalist Carl Douglas, written by Douglas and produced by British-Indian musician Biddu. It was released as a single in 1974 on the cusp of a chopsocky film craze and rose to the top of the British, Australian, Canadian, and American charts, in addition to reaching the top of the Soul Singles chart. It received a Gold certification from the RIAA in 1974 and popularized disco music. It eventually went on to sell eleven million records worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. The song uses the quintessential Oriental riff, a short musical phrase that is used to signify Chinese culture.

Antenna - 1999 - Come On Spring FLAC





Antenna was the product of a short-lived collaboration between ex-Scientist/Beast of Bourbon/Surrealist Kim Salmon, chief Hoodoo Guru Dave Faulkner and Stuart McCarthy and Justin Frew of techno/house outfit Southend – the latter best known for their dance floor mash-up of IOC chairman Juan Antonio Samaranch’s announcement that the host of the 2000 Olympics would be ‘Syd-er-ney’.  This collision of alternate musical universes, guaranteed to offend both rock and dance purists alike, produced just one album, Installation, and its remarkable first single, Come On Spring.

Missy Higgins - 2007 - Steer FLAC





"Steer" is the first single from Missy Higgins' second album, On a Clear Night. The song was released in Australia on 14 April 2007 and became the most-added track that same week. Higgins stated that the song was "about steers" and that she wrote it after overlooking the southern celestial hemisphere from a bay in Western Australia. The song has instrument backings of acoustic guitar and drums.

The single reached the number-one spot on the Australian Singles Chart in the first week of its release, dethroning Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" for a single week. It became Higgins' second number-one single, after 2004's "Scar", from her first album The Sound of White. At the end of 2007, the song appeared at number 60 on the Australian year-end chart, becoming the second lowest-selling number-one hit of the year (that didn't reach number one in 2006), behind "2 Hearts" by Kylie Minogue. Despite this, it still received a Gold certification from ARIA for sales exceeding 35,000 copies.

In March 2007, Higgins gave fans the exclusive opportunity to pre-order a personally signed copy of her single "Steer" via SMS.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 1988 - The Mercy Seat FLAC




"The Mercy Seat" is a song written by Nick Cave (lyrics and music) and Mick Harvey (music), originally performed by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on the 1988 album Tender Prey.

The song is laden with allusions to Christianity; in the Old Testament, the mercy seat is the symbol of the throne of God over the Ark of the Covenant.

Gwen $tefan! - 2008 - Early Winter FLAC





"Early Winter" is a song by American singer Gwen Stefani from her second solo studio album, The Sweet Escape (2006). Written by Stefani and English pianist Tim Rice-Oxley, the song was released in Europe as the album's fifth and final single on January 18, 2008, by Interscope Records. Musically, "Early Winter" is a soft rock and synth-pop ballad with new wave influences. Critics found it similar to songs by English alternative rock band Keane, of which Rice-Oxley is a member. The lyrics of the song describe the nearing of the end of a relationship, and were speculated to be references to Stefani's own relationship with husband Gavin Rossdale.

Upon its release, "Early Winter" received generally positive reviews from music critics, many of whom commended Stefani's vocal delivery and the song's emotional appeal. The song attained moderate commercial success across Europe, reaching number six in Germany and Slovakia, number 12 in Switzerland, and number 14 in Finland. An accompanying music video for "Early Winter" was directed by Sophie Muller and was filmed in destinations like Budapest, Milan, and Prague. It contains scenes of Stefani in a palace-like hall in various gowns and at railway stations. "Early Winter" was included in the setlist of The Sweet Escape Tour, and the performances featured a special coda section delivered by American musician and bassist Gail Ann Dorsey.

Tony Pearen - 1994 - Walkaway Lover FLAC




"Walkaway Lover" is the third single performed by Australian actress/singer Toni Pearen released in October 1994, from her debut album Intimate.

Toni Pearen's first two singles "In Your Room" and "I Want You" both peaked at number ten on the Australian singles chart and were each certified gold. "Walkaway Lover" debuted at number 50 week ending 23 October and eventually peaked at number 35 week ending 11 November, 1994, spending a total of twelve weeks in the top 50, and sixteen weeks in the top 100. The single was issued to coincide with the much anticipated release of the album Intimate. Some could cite that the single's underperformance was because it was released more than one year after the successful second single "I Want You". This could also be seen as a reason the album itself also did not chart well.
