Glad im not the only one amazed by 'wild horses"

[@brettsambrook]

Jordan is an amazing album, I really think it's a masterpiece.

[@Dill621]

Wild horses is one of those songs I put on when I’m driving at night and just wallow in the melancholy

[@knightlight2627]

As a musician & songwriter, Paddy is amazingly underrated.

[@scottfrosch7907]

Paddy Macaloon!!!

[@YeSLeDrawTUM]

Prefab Sprout rules!! And that Jordan album pffff amazing

[@deathkampdrone]

Good callout to Paddy McAloon, that man is a genius.
Funny how they both picked complex yet catchy, melodic songs, because that fits very well with the whole oeuvre of Hot Chip too.

[@ryancarter1038]

Prefab Sprout - good shout.

[@cottontop99]

Its a cracking album....

[@mandobrownie]

George Clanton and Skylar Spence turned me onto Prefab Sprout. I'm real glad others are starting to appreciate them now too.

[@masagodude]

Did the sample prefab sprout or did they just put together a separate playlist

[@perspicaciouscritic]

Brenda Russell’s “Way Back When”: Rich and sweeping, wild and thrilling.
Thank you, Joe Goddard, for turning me on to this timeless masterpiece.

[@Kkidzz]

Two Wheels Good/Steve McQueen.....absolute classic

[@modifiedcontent]

Jordan is a classic too

[@kaylapressley613]

@Alastair Jackson ssy

[@MrMeadfoot]

Never heard of Brenda Russell, that song is amazing, need to check out more of her.

[@joshgoodman9882]

I already know “Sicko Mode” is at the top of their list

[@Offthegrid1884]

Wild Horses is wonderful

[@hang-sangitch]

This is a great idea. Very cool 😎 like their choices.

[@canman408]

Loved this!

[@jessimanga1]

[@TheZooropaBaby]

[@BeatFaktoryCorp]

How could you be doing Electronic Music and not know about someone like Thomas Dolby....

[@ddppbbqq1060]

[@futurefreak8789]

Yous Guys Rock

[@leesverder2019]

Music non stop, Technopop

[@hannahwohlwend6986]

💜💜💜💜💜

[@BeatFaktoryCorp]

but at the same time ...You've worked with Green Gartside..

[@orionsecret]

Way Back When is a phenomenal composition. Well crafted, produced and performed. However, Brenda Russell’s first album was NOT disco in any way. Neither is WBW a disco track.

[@basehead617]

Uhm Larry Levan was not a chicago DJ..

[@vonvex]

Just listened to that song for the first time. Fucking shit mate

[@pimppopotamustard]

Distracting lack of production value again. Anyone do quality control before publishing?

[@daviddickerson35]

"A Disco Album?" lol Not at all

[@rajumahato4388]

[@boudicawasnotreallyallthat1020]

Such... a... terrible band. It's a measure of how bad modern music is that Hot Chip can make a living. Just terrible

[@davidmooney]

Who hurt you?

[@Olhado256]

Let me guess, you were in a danceable indie pop band in the 2000s, you opened for Hot Chip but your career never took off and now you hate them because they're still doing their thing and you have an office job.

[@davidmooney]

@Alastair Jacksonpretty fucking far from shit imo.

[@plazticbag]

Then why are you watching this video?

[@clvrswine]

Thank-you. This is accurate. Middle of the road, safe Starbucks music for dullards that just take whatever floats along.
