This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the 1991 album from iconic soul singer Luther Vandross, 'Power of Love'. 'Power of Love' is the seventh studio album by Vandross, released by Epic on April 26, 1991, following the critical and commercial success of his sixth album 'Any Love' (1988). 'Power of Love' received critical acclaim from most critics, earning Vandross a number of awards and accolades including two American Music Awards and two Grammy Awards. It reached number seven on the US Billboard 200 album chart, while topping the Top R&B Albums chart for five nonconsecutive weeks. On the latter chart, it was Vandross's last number one for twelve years until Dance with My Father was released. The album was later certified double platinum by the RIAA. Imran & Rhonda delve deep into the 90s gem exploring Vandross as an iconic presence for more than two decades, the making of 'Power of Love' along with the collaborators, singles and remixes. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

Stu, Imran and Dan discuss the enigma that is Gymkatta, a 1985 film combining those classic action film elements, martial arts and gymnastics. But it doesn't end there, this film also has elements of Running Man and Battle Royale long before those films existed. Is it badly acted and unintentionally hilarious, yes, but so was the entire of the 80s. Oh and the references at the start to video are actually because we decided to film this one, check that out here: https://youtu.be/-WDJJIwjCMk

Almost half way through the entire A-Z of Hip Hop and we've reached artists beginning with M, N and O. So time for some NWA, Missy Elliot, Method Man chat and more 90s nostalgia from the gang.

Welcome to Episode #12 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast. Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, for this episode we descend into the shadowy realms of 'Dark City' and 'The Thirteenth Floor' — two cult gems of late-90s sci-fi that challenge our perception of reality itself. From simulated worlds to manipulated memories, we explore how these films construct elaborate deceptions around identity, freedom and the fragile boundaries between the real and the artificial. Join us as we unravel the layers of illusion and ask: if everything we know can be faked… what makes us real? The show today features original music from Supple & Lean featuring The Strangeress with 'NPC Blues'. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, the 4ever in Electric Dreams website and podcast network is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today. With podcast episodes of the Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind, 90s State of Mind and Supple & Lean, there's lots of reasons to visit us again and again, and to join us in our ongoing celebration of the things we can't leave behind.

Welcome to Episode #23 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the 1998 album from the neo-soul pioneer, D'Angelo's 'Live at the Jazz Cafe'. Recorded in 1995 following the release of D'Angelo's debut full-length 'Brown Sugar', 'Live at the Jazz Cafe' is a live album by neo-soul luminary released on June 30, 1998, on EMI Records. It was later released in Japan on December 7, 1999, with a bonus track. The live recordings are taken from D'Angelo's appearance at the Jazz Café in London, England, on September 14, 1995. The album was subsequently re-issued in 2014 with a recording of the complete show, including previously unreleased tracks. Imran & Rhonda delve deep into 90s classic looking at the musicians involved, discussing the various iterations of the album along with the overall mystique of D'Angelo: three studio albums over a period of thirty years is a mind-blowing statistic but again a testament to his music that fans still eagerly await a new release. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD
