"Something Scary" by Zsa Zsa LaBoum
- Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
In 1981 a film based on accounts from Carla Moran's
experiences with an unknown source is "The
Entity". The film was a good depiction of
the possibilities of a negative energy crossing
the parallel of human life. It was a very spooky
outline and based on actual events.
Belgium New-Beat artist, Zsa Zsa LaBoum on Kaos
Dance Records in 1988 -- Produced by S.M. - this
track is a strange one, but not too distant if
you had any knowledge of the new beat dance movement
in the late 80's. Most tracks outlined intense
synthesizers, weird subjects and play on words.
I personally found it very interesting and innovative.
From New Beat came Techno and Rave music.
"Something Scary" is an eerie tune
-- enough to give you goose bumps. The samples
from "The Entity" -- using Barbara Hershey's
voice, "I was alone in my room...Something
grabbed me, and smothered me." This always
remained in my mind from the first time hearing
it back in 1988 to someday create the outline
for a video using excerpts -- here it is. You
will hear the word "acid" repeated constantly
throughout -- this influenced by the Acid House
style of music, which is the predecessor of New
Beat.
A bit on the dark-side it works the realm of
the sound of New Beat in a mysterious way. Once
again, the transition of dance from disco to where
it is today encompasses many genres of dance music
-- this is one of them.
