| Â | Happy hardcore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Happy hardcore is a form of dance music typified by a very fast BPM (usually around 165-180), male and female vocals, and saccharine lyrics. | | | Freeform hardcore, and other trance influenced happy hardcore attracted a new audience to the music and caused a major upsurge in interest among the European and American ravers, causing remixes of classic happy hardcore anthems to reach the pop charts. | | | Happy hardcore evolved from rave music around 1991–1993, as the original house music-based rave became faster and began to include breakbeats, evolving into breakbeat hardcore. |

| Â | Urban Dictionary: happy hardcore |
| | Happy Hardcore was at it's peak in 1996. | | | Happy hardcore is known as a fairly un-pretentious, D.I.Y. genre, with a dedicated group of listeners and DJ's. | | | Where happy hardcore is known for it's happy, almost cheesy, lyrics and sounds, Drum and Bass is a much more aggressive, hard-edged sound that is a much harder pill to swallow, so to speak. |

| | Slapp Happy disbanded after this album, with Krause, Cutler and Frith eventually forming the considerably more experimental Art Bears. | | | Slapp Happy liked clarinets-- and pianos, too, and cabaret. | | | Those first two Slapp Happy records were soft pop for eccentrics, informed by British Invasion rock, Dylan, and hints of European cafe music. |

| Â | ALBUM REVIEW: K’s Choice -- Almost Happy |
| | The songs of Almost Happy form a cohesive album, which is refreshing in a time when emphasis seems to be placed more on singles than on albums. | | | One of the kickers for Almost Happy is that it comes with a second CD of live material, originally a separate album released in Europe and entitled Live. | | | While lacking some of the emotion and punch of previous albums, Almost Happy is full of soul-searching and bitter love songs, all set to soothing melodies and the sweet voice of lead singer Sarah Bettens. |

| Â | VH1.com : Happy Mondays : Biography |
| | Happy Mondays were one of the first rock bands to integrate hip-hop techniques into their music. | | | While the Stone Roses were based in '60s pop, adding only a slight hint of dance music, Happy Mondays immersed themselves in the club and rave culture, eventually becoming the most recognizable band of that drug-fueled scene. | | | For a band that celebrated their vulgarity and excessiveness, Happy Mondays appropriately were undone by their addictions, but they left behind a surprisingly influential legacy, apparent in everyone from dance bands like the Chemical Brothers to rock & rollers like Oasis. |

| Â | Henry Cow [www.progweed.net] |
| | In the mid-70s, they teamed up with cabaret-rockers Slapp Happy to produce two albums, of which Desperate Straights is more a Slapp Happy album with Henry Cow helping out. | | | It's hard to imagine that such aggressively "out" music could be created by the same band that gave us "I Got Evil." But members of Slapp Happy have since said that when they worked with Henry Cow, they tried to tone up the dissonance and experimentation so the music would better suit Cow's musicians. | | | Slapp Happy dissolved, and Dagmar Krause joined Henry Cow. |

| Â | What is Happy Hardcore? |
| | Initially a lot of the vocals on Happy Hardcore tracks were just short snippets taken from sample CDs or other tracks, but now original vocals are very common. | | | Initially Happy Hardcore and Jungle DJs would play side by side, but this has become less and less common - whether this is good or bad depends on who you speak to. | | | Happy Hardcore is played at clubs and raves (big parties with several thousand people, sometimes outdoors) by DJs. |

| | Released in Europe as Happy Nation in 1992; released (with differing tracklisting) in the Americas as The Sign September 25, 1993; re-released in the Old World (with new tracklisting) at the end of 1993 as Happy Nation U.S. Version. | | | Most of their early songs, including "All That She Wants" and "Happy Nation" were club-friendly tracks inspired by the growth of the club scene across Europe. | | | The evidence for this album's existence seems somewhat controversial: no clips of any of the songs on this album have ever surfaced (clips of 'Hear Me Calling' come from the 'Happy Nation' album, not 'Ce Soir', and clips of 'Young and Proud' don't match the supposed tracklist length for the 'Ce Soir' album). |

| Â | Happy Mondays - Bummed - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine |
| | Recorded when the Happy Mondays were the artful dodgers rather than the Artful Dodgers of acid house, this is the best intersection of the two sounds and could be the moment’s finest album. | | | The Mondays embraced the shiny treble of the dance floor but retained the menace of their it’s-grim-up-north predecessors on tracks such as “Mad Cyril,” with its half-speed conga drums, rolling piano, slide guitar, and distant sirens of 808 blasts. | | | Ryder’s crude, plainspoken lyrics are as close to embryonic gangsta rap as to guitar pop and are almost anti-intellectual. |

| | Kate's basic acoustic instrument was the piano; Happy's is the acoustic guitar. | | | This is the first Happy Rhodes album that feels like an album, not just a song collection (probably it is the first album constructed as an album), and it feels like an impressive album. | | | Warpaint, 1991 CD Happy's breakthrough album (a major one, artistically, I think, and a minor one commercially) is this one, her fifth. |

| Â | Happy Rhodes-Albany Metroland |
| | Rhodes doesn’t so much want to be a household name--though she jokes about people stopping her in the grocery store and saying, “Hey, aren’t you Happy Rhodes?” instead of, “Hey, aren’t you Blossom?” She wants to do film scores and work with prestigious musicians. | | | Rhodes used to have a guitarist, bassist, drummer, keyboardist and backing vocalists--an approach that not only was hard to coordinate in order to replicate her studio sound but was expensive. | | | Rhodes has had interest from major labels for years, though her music, an often-ethereal style reminiscent of Kate Bush’s which showcases her striking vocal range and the Rhodes-Bartlett team’s lush arrangements, was never exactly Top 40 stuff. |
