"Ten years ago, I heard the voices of my spirit guides telling me to put my natural clairvoyant gift to meaningful use," says McNeil. And that's when Rhino Records, always ready to try different methods, hired McNeil. The rest is history! And what does the future hold for Rhino?

54 BILLBOARD JULY 23, 1988 www.americanradiohistory.com DANCE MUSIC AND NEW MUSIC Dance Music Continues to the Golden Springboard for Many of Today's Biggest and Brightest Talents

By BILL COLEMAN

it ain't where you're from, t's where you're at iEric B. & Rakim

Dance music -too general a term for such a diversity of sounds. The form has continued to make headway, as club owners, DJs, retailers, radio folks, and labels can at- test. People like to dance -case closed- whether it's to the Latin street pop of "Party Your Body" or the driving, house -pumping energy of "Pink Cadillac." This year has provided the club -goer and radio listener with a host of sounds, ranging from house, R &B, Latin hip - hop, and rap to hi -NRG, dance -oriented rock, and Euro- house. Once again dance music has been the golden spring- board for many of today's biggest and brightest talents. The excitement on the dance floor has provided larger au- diences for Taylor Dayne, Rick Astley, the Cover Girls, Bardeux, Pretty Poison, and Debbie Gibson. On what other charts can one witness such acts like the Cure, Midnight Oil, and Sinead O'Connor sharing the lime- light with the likes of Nia Peeples, Exposé, Stacey Q, and Liz Torres? The music of the dance floor stirs a melting pot of sorts and in turn creates a healthy, stimulating cre- ative exchange of attitudes and ideas. Recent times have seen a new -found understanding and commitment from record companies regarding dance mu- sic. The increased number of 12 -inch and dance -oriented material being produced is just the beginning. A number of dance music compilations have surfaced as well. Collecting new or old dance material has become a sure -fire way to please and excite at the retail and club levels. Many of the labels that were heavily involved in the dance market during its "disco" heyday are now tapping into their back catalogs and presenting "greatest hits" (Continued on page D -8)

Chin elabo- rates, "The skills that are needed to make a marketable rec- ord are changing. You used to need to know how to write, arrange, and play an instrument. Now you need to know how to program, structure, cut tape, and find the right drum sound. Few people have all the right skills." He believes that producers and mixers need to establish a working relation- ship at the start of a project and share credit. Shep Pettibone, whose recent re- productions include "K.I.S.S.I.N.G." by Siedah Garrett and "I Don't Want To Go On With You Like That" by Elton John agrees. "In a re-pro- duction, you are cutting a majority of the tracks over, essen- tially creating a new record. Yet on the 7 -inch edits which go to pop radio, the original producer is often given the credit." So why would Pettibone with all his expertise and several PRT1 Pet Shop Boys productions under his belt have trouble find- ing more production work? "I've done so many remixes that people assume I can only work on dance records. It's a label- ing process. No one wants to take a chance on getting a clean overall sound to start with." Pettibone recently com- pleted producing tracks for pop /rock artist Baxter Robert- son's latest album. Bruce Forest, who recently produced David Cole's "You Take My Breath Away" for Epic concurs, admitting "too of- ten all your best ideas go into re- producing tracks for name DISTRIBUTION artists who have budgets for it." Yet there are others who have pushed past the obstacles. Producer /remixer Arthur Baker recalls, "Hall & Oates INTRODUCES brought me in from the start when they were working on the

'Big Barn Boom' album. Officially I was a consultant and was given arranging credit, but we worked together on every as- pect of the album. They would give me a finished track and tell me to add whatever I wanted and then they would listen and keep what they liked." Producers /mixers Steve Thompson and Mike Barbiero have worked with a wide range of artists including Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Dokken. They acknowledge that having a musical background played a large role in the advancement of their careers. Thompson still does remixes, but he is very selec- tive about the projects he accepts. He notes, "The idea of a mix is to enhance the song and improve its danceability while maintaining the integrity of the tune. It's very impor- tant that any musical overdub you're going to put on works with the chord changes of the song. It would be a good idea for remixers, if they want to advance their careers and be- come producers or writers, to take courses in music the- ory." Francois Kevorkian, who has produced Midnight Oil, the Jamaica Girls and Jah Wobble to name a few, insists, "When you want you have I to produce, to be able to pick good AUDIO VISUAL songs. We're all too beat -oriented. We need to keep a focus on having a message in the music." INTERNATIONAL Jellybean Benitez, who has his own custom label deal with Warner Bros. and who debuted with the concept of a pro- ducer's album with his EMI EP "Wotupski!," has formed his LAUNCHING ist AUGUST 1988 own publishing company. He, too, has recognized the impor- tance of finding the right melody and lyric. He is also in favor of bringing a mixer in before a record is finished.

Held adds that he feels the indie record business is going through a transitional period, related to con - figurations-a period that will soon change when "people who like to buy independent music have $8 or $9 or whatever to buy CDs -and are willing to take the chance." Meanwhile, he says, Fundamental sells LP /cassette /CD at a 2/1/1 ratio. "On some of the titles," he says, "the CDs are creeping up." Transitional periods? Shifting configurations? At this point, it may be appropriate to mention Wire. One of the most respected New Music bands of all time -quite a concept, that -the English band best illustrates the very confusing state of today's alternative /indie scene: 1) Wire is an indie band. Their two most recent albums are on Enigma Records -and distributed by CEMA. 2)Wire is on DAT. They and la- belmates Devo are the first rock bands to have an album available domestically in the DAT configura- tion. Those DATs, however, are not distributed by CEMA. They are dis- tributed independently. 3)Wire played at the Rose Bowl. In fact, the group performed at the very same Depeche Mode show mentioned earlier. "It was the first time we ever did anything remotely like that," says Colin Newman, the group's lead singer.

www.americanradiohistory.com THE CRITICS AGREE...IT'S NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE!

"Their strongest album in years. 00H YEAH! is rich with the kind of soul -flavored tunes that established the duo as one of the leading exponents of what was labeled "blue -eyed soul" in the '70s." -

"Not only is it the finest LP they've ever recorded - surpassing Abandoned Luncheonette, Bigger Than Both Of Us and Voices in one electric leap - but for once they really are a pair." - Musician

"This is their first album in almost four years, and to hear it is to remember the desperately needed shot of soul they provided in the early Eighties. Now they reunite with a refreshed attitude." - Rolling Stone

"The new album reemphasizes two facts that are too often overlooked. First, Daryl Hall is one of the finest soul singers of the '80s. Second, the trio of Hall, Oates and their longtime bassist, T -Bone Wolk, is one of the best production teams in pop today." - The Washington Post

"00H YEAH! is wonderful Hall and Oates. The trademark lush harmonies are here. So are the instrumental flourishes that so artfully complement the lyrics. And, of course, there's Hall's distinctive soaring voice, sounding like a heartache about to happen." - US

The soon to be platinum debut Arista album from Daryl Hall and John Oates. Includes the Top 3 smash "Everything Your Heart Desires," the new single "Missed Opportunity," "Downtown Life" and more.

Catch Daryl and John on tour now and for the next two years!

00H YEAH! THE FEELING GROWS STRONGER AND STRONGER.
