M and H Band is French producer, Mark Haliday (hence the ‘M’ and ‘H’). His concept group for a late 80’s cover of the pop-experimental song “Popcorn” from 1972 which introduced many to the Moog synthesizer with its bubbly melody and rolling sequencers. The original qualifies as one of the early innovative pop tracks to be identified as “disco”. Halliday uses a “scat” riff to complete his cover of the piece and layers many riffs over his audio canvas. One of the best disco versions of this classic with some self identifying parts of its own. With the move forward through technology this cover and the original are definitely a big part of dance history.
I have taken the 12” versions of M and H Band’s cover of “Popcorn” to realign them into an abstract version for this ReStructure Mix. Using the whole emphasis of a trip about to take place to give the arrangement a new feel and somewhat experimental take once again.
