This Is Me & Music
Adam Tinley aka Adamski aka Adam Sky got pigeonholed into the acid house scene. He doesn't seem to mind much: In his MySpace profile, he calls himself a rave veteran. I became aware of the name with his break-out single "Killer". The twelve-inch mix starts out full force with the mother of all bass lines, supported by a cleverly syncopated drum pattern. Seal's vocals add the human dimension which is crucial for chart success, but it is really the relentless bass line which keeps this track alive in my memory.

Whereas I feel myself growing old real fast, Mr. Dolby seems to keep himself young by reinventing himself. The music press frequently calls Thomas Dolby a "one hit wonder", even though he had two big hits. I became aware of him only after he released his third album, "Aliens Ate My Buick". For the music press, that would possibly be "past his prime", for me, it was the mother lode.
