I can say the same things about this song as "Injected With The Poison" by Praga Kahn.
It has all the classic cliches. I saw the song on MTV, at that time they played video clips and no soaps. If you wanted to know the latest hits, you watched MTV instead of listening to boring radio stations. I love this classic because the whole song is perfectly shaped around the samples of a song by Kate Bush - Cloud Busting -Although the video-clip was nothing more than a speed-up road trip in psychedelic colours, I loved it from the first second with the violins.
Even the 12" version, which seems only to have a longer duration than the 7" single, is still a pleasure to listen to. And on the cd maxi single I bought was also a track about whales (Trance Atlantic Flight), and it was better than the well-known Waterfall...
When I did some research on the "Something Good", the Utah Saints released a new mix of the same some under the name "Something Good '08". They removed all breaks in the original mix and created a dancefloor killer, a 2:55 non-stop adrenaline rush. And a much better and funnier video-clip about the Running Man than the original clip.
Utah Saints more singles mixing samples from pop-songs with own beats, but I never found another "Something Good", but they made a few very enjoyable trance tracks, like "Trance Atlantic Flight", "Massive" and "Solution".
The song Utah Saints sampled for this track "Cloud Busting" has a real history. Kate Bush had read "Book of Dreams" written by the son of Wilhelm Reich, who is famous for his discovery of Organon and his inventions to use it.
The story of Wilhelm Reich is very sad, he died in a federal prison in the 50s. The American Government put him there after they had successfully removed lots of his supporters and helpers over the years.
One of his inventions was a cloudbuster, designed to make it rain. There is one occasion in history that described what happened, cause it did rain after just
1 day of cloudbusting.
I was fascinated by his life, his words and inventions,
but after seeing and hearing all Organon related stuff
on YouTube, I believe that Mr Reich really has made
a discovery, but he could not use it to its full potential,
cause the technology was not yet invented yet.
So I do believe that things in nature have a kind of energy and maybe we can use it for more purposes
then just let it rain...
Kate Bush tells the story of Wilhelm Reich and his son with a Cloudbuster, like a fairy-tale.
It ends not well, just like the real story. Still very beautiful to watch and it started my search for Wilhelm Reich.
I found somebody who had such a nice memories of the song, almost a new story.
