B IS FOR BIZARRE INC.
“I’m Gonna Get You” spent two weeks at number one in January (also hitting number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100) and was followed by “Took My Love,” which was number one for two weeks in late April. Both tracks featured lead vocals by female session singer Angie Brown. A third song (not featuring Brown), “Love In Motion,” hit # 4 on the dance chart in late 1993. However their most successful tune to date has remained “Playing With Knives” (a rejected remix of which which would later serve as the basis for rival act Blue Pearl’s track “Can You Feel The Passion” in 1992).All three of Bizarre Inc.’s big hit singles appeared on their first album, Energique, in 1992. They also released a second album, Surprise, in 1996.
In the UK, their biggest singles were “Playing with Knives” (#4) and I’m Gonna Get You (#3), the latter of which was a genuine cross over hit and was within the top 40 biggest sellers of the year. Meanwhile “Playing with Knives” is not too sure if it wants to be a out and out rave/house tune (with its uplifting piano and vocal line) or underground slammer (with its hardcore rave main riff). Either way, it never worked for me and I still have no time for it. But I’m far and away in the minority on this one:
Bizarre Inc. – Playing with Knives (Quadrant Mix)
Bizarre Inc. – Playing with Dub
