Being a teenage kid in the Midlands during the Thatcher era - childhood memories include being totally consumed by the music of a local band called UB40.

Gert’s occasional dive into her tape/record/CD collection inspired me to blow the dust off some of my own CDs. And so - it’s been a morning of rediscovery of music by UB40.

My first experiment in associating image with sound. It’s normally the other way around: select an image - and then pick some words and some sounds. It’s a bit harder to associate image with a selected sound - and almost impossible to associate words with the sound if the sound is a song. In any case - the results can be a little abstract.

Click the play button in the media player below to listen to “The Way You Do The Things You Do” composed by Smokey Robinson and originally performed by The Temptations - but recorded in 1989 by UB40 as part of the Labour of Love II collection. It’s encoded at 56kbps so even if you are on dialup it should stream fine. If you wish to hear it again - it will play from your computer’s hard disk every subsequent time.
