Matt Bianco in Holland, through the noughties.

All this via our fantastic contributor Dutchmarc:
First, a 2000 singalong type show from Holland "The sense of.." which was about 1984 and who better to represent that year than Matt Bianco. Mark Reilly makes an appearance and the whole band represents frozen in videoclip time.



A radio interview with during the 2004 Matt Bianco era with Basia, Danny, and Mark. Nice video accompaniment!

Incidentally, "Whose Side are You On" is #288 on this Jazz countdown list. And finally, the "Wrong Side of the Street (Can't Sleep remix)" which was in very limited quantities on vinyl in 2004.

Deluxe It's That Girl Again re-release in Poland, EMPIK exclusive includes DVD

and apparently is gold. Wowza. So you get 1. another copy of ITGA 2. including "Clear Horizon '09" and "Oh mama" and 3. A DVD of videos from the previous three albums, including ones from The Sweetest Illusion that have never been released in DVD. (and really, the Yearning video in proper definition is worth the hassle to import this thing, trust) And a mini documentary to boot.

Still with me? Okay, guess what else:
IT'S OUT TUESDAY! EDIT: BUT you must be sure you can play Region 2 PAL DVDs. I do not know if this is in a different format yet, but proceed with caution and do your research if you are in the US)

First video for "Prime Time TV." Since the single came out two years before it did in America, Basia looks pretty different!
