25 - S-Express - Theme From S-Express - Now That's What I Call Music 12

Описание: “Theme From S‑Express” explodes onto Now That’s What I Call Music 12 with the futuristic swagger that helped define the birth of acid house in the UK charts. S‑Express, led by DJ and producer Mark Moore, delivered a track that felt like it had arrived from another planet — a whirlwind of samples, synth stabs, sirens and irresistible club energy. On the compilation, it’s one of the most sonically adventurous entries, a jolt of underground cool that captures the moment dance music was breaking into the mainstream.

The single was a landmark in British pop history. Built from a collage of samples — including Rose Royce’s “Is It Love You’re After” — it fused disco, house and electronic experimentation into something both avant‑garde and wildly accessible. Its success signalled a shift in the musical landscape: club culture was no longer confined to late‑night venues but was now shaping the charts themselves. The track shot to number one in the UK, becoming one of the defining hits of 1988 and a blueprint for the sample‑driven dance records that followed.

On *Now 12*, “Theme From S‑Express” stands as a thrilling reminder of that cultural turning point — bold, playful, and utterly of its moment, yet still capable of lighting up a dance floor decades later.
