melancholy + 'funky drummer' sample + long held organ chords - this is practically trip-hop already

When Bruce's "Streets of Philadelphia" came out, it took me forever to figure out what it was reminding me of. Turns out it was this song.

boom - wouldn't have occurred to me and i suspect it's more convergent evolution more than anything else (change the drum sample and you're not far from 'justify my love')(so tempted to try to throw together a 'trip-hop not trip-hop' playlist together now). it's been forever since i listened to it but there has to be at least one track from listen w/o prejudice vol 1 that fits this pattern.

"Waiting For The Day," the third single, which also uses organ and a slightly decelerated "Funky Drummer" sample, not to mention interpolation of "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

You guys remember this? A #3 hit in the UK in '88. Top twenty dance here.

"I'm Not the Man I Used to Be" sounds like a lost Bee Gees demo.

I enjoy Monie Love's turn on the loopy breakbeat "Monie Love Mix" of She Drives Me Crazy.

Just remembered that my 90-min tape of The Raw & The Cooked had Simply Red's Men and Women on the b-side.
