only song i knew was infinti.

quote:

had died in Ibiza on Monday. The cause of death is unclear.

i wonder why.... either way r.i.p he sounds like he died doing what he loves

Sad to see the guy pass away.

The Klaas remix to his Infinity 08 tune is actually what got a few of my high school friends at the time into electronic music. Song is terrible , but was a good gateway.

Anyways, sad news, and still fairly young. My condolences to the family

That Sax is pure sex.

I bought the maxi-cd of Infinity in 1990, still have it.

R.I.P.

If you don't know Infinity you have no right to call yourself an old-school dance music aficionado. The guy bollocksed up his nascent career by supporting the Poll Tax though, god bless'im.

This is sad.

I also found out earlier this year that Andy Jarrod had passed away in an accident last year. Such a shame.

Lol, I forgot about that. He caught a lot of flack for that.

I haven't heard his name in 10+ years. Infinity was a big track despite the sax being out of time and possibly having one of the worst piano solos in history.

RIP.

Every time I watch the Infinity video, I get this really great feeling inside. It's like everything was so pure in 1990. It feels like there was an optimism in the world. The Cold War had just ended, various forms of music were being introduced to the world that hadn't previously existed. You definitely get the feeling like clubbing in London in 1990, you were part of something special. A movement, bigger than yourself, with a group of people in the right time and place. I find myself nostalgic for an era that I was never a part of. Videos like this clue me in as to why the real old schoolers say they had such a great time back then and why the movement was truly genuine.

Also, look at Guru Josh, he's having a great time and is quite the character. I feel like in today's club culture, he would be laughed at and ridiculed by many. I always love and respect the true individuals that stay true to themselves and aren't concerned with some supposed image. It's why this time period retains credibility. Even though the song itself is cheesy at points (particularly the piano solo), it's fun and the Sax riff still gets me every time. From what I understand, Guru Josh was also involved in visual arts as well. Multi-talented. It always saddens me when someone so talented decides to take their own life. The true greats are often the tortured souls.

R.I.P. Guru Josh, you will be missed.
Anytime I feel sad, I can turn on the Infinity video and feel better again.

Taucher's Infinity was one of the first trance tunes I heard

Still the best one around I reckon

"Back sometime in the ’89-’90 Summer of Love Guru Josh was bringing out a follow-up to his worldwide hit “Infinity” and wanted to do something to promote it and get attention. So he asked for advice from the sartorially psychedelic publicist for Sunrise – the most successful rave organisers of the era who were never off the front pages. The publicist advised him precisely what to say, something politically controversial, guaranteed to be reported everywhere in the music press and get him “cut through”. The publicist promised it would get him attention. The next day* in an interview with Record Mirror Guru Josh came out in favour of the poll tax which was about to be introduced by the Thatcher government. The resulting publicity did get the Guru the promised “cut through”. It was unfortunately entirely negative publicity from the left-wing music press…"
