Since July 1998. I've seen the 'Go West' video on MTV and since that time I became a pethead. It'll be 8 years this year :lol: My dad still hopes it'll pass me through when I get older. :evil: No way! :twisted:

I haven't even heard of them until I heard Flamboyant... :lol:
I'm a big fan of house, techno and trance music since 2000 and I liked Tomcraft a lot.
And I heard ''Flamboyant'', then ''Miracles'', got more interested, got myself ''PopArt'' and then i became a real fan.
so, it's been 2 years now and I manged to catch up with everything they've done so I'm surely not a newbie in their music
When did you become a Dannnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii fan though? I prefer the puppy fat Summer Bay epoch.

Since 1990. I had a mate who was a fan and he frequently played me their 12" singles. He now hardly talks about them, I'm still as big a fan today as I ever was.

1986 with Disco. I loved the fact they had long 12" versions of their songs.

I then became obssessed with buying everything when Always on my Mind came out on CD single and I had just bought a CD player. Then I bought every PSB thing released after that...

If it is true that I'm with stupid remixes are being released as downloads only I will have to buy an iPOD. Perhaps it is history repeating!

1987. It's A Sin was actually one of the first pop songs to ever turn this late developers ears and was thus recorded off the radio and played to death. The first album I bought, in Preedys in Harrow (I remember the very moment extremely well, I bought it as it was cheaper than Actually) was Disco for my 14th birthday.
