'Anything' was the third consecutive UK mega hit for culture Beat following 'Mr Vain' and 'Got To Get It' into the Top 5... All this has been achieved despite the tragic loss of their mastermind/producer Torsten Fenslau in a car crash last November
Well, that "despite" might be a little exaggerated, as this single was already in the can (and I think even in the shops in some countries) by the time he died, and of course the nature of the act didn't require him to appear with them in public. For the record, though, his brother did subsequently take over the reins and there were a few more hits under the name, but it was never really going to last. According to their Wikipedia entry, the latest lead singer appeared at a Nineties revival concert in Riga in 2008. Good to know.
We're into that part of a Nineties Now album that I find most difficult to deal with, the run of consecutive Euro-dance tracks. I wouldn't say it was my least favourite type of music, but it's one that I have the least vocabulary for. So, er, this is sort of OK, but not especially memorable despite the impressively surreal lyrics and the rapping that appears to have been recorded in a cupboard. It's not the record they're remembered for and you can sort of tell why.
