Michael Jackson Michael Joseph Jackson or just Michael Jackson was an American born (Aug 29) singer, songwriter, and dancer. Dubbed the "King of Pop", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. At the start of the 90s, Michael had taken a couple of years from recording after the success of "Bad". He returned at the end of the 1991 with the lead single from the "Dangerous" album, "Black or white", which reached #1 practically everywhere, UK, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe. The full-length video was a bit controversial back then when Jackson smashed a car up for no apparent reason. The follow-up was top 10 in most countries and #1 in New Zealand and the Canada Dance chart in 1992. "In the closet" (1992) and "Who is it" (1993) were also US Dance #1s.
The next album was HIStory, which featured as its lead single, his duet with sister Janet on "Scream", a US Dance #1 in 1995. Two UK #1s came from this album, "You are not alone" and the "Earth Song". A whole remix album called "Blood on the dance floor", which the lead single and title track also reached #1 in the UK.

Messiah

Messiah was formed in 1988 during London's acid house craze by college friends Ali Ghani and Mark Davies. When the pair met at an Iggy Pop concert, they decided to purchase some electronic equipment and make music for fun.

The duo's brand of techno encompasses the aggression and volume of punk and the diva vocals of house music.
Messiah are best known for "Temple of dreams". The vocals were supplied by Elizabeth Fraser (of The Cocteau Twins) with samples from Prince's "Eye No", quotes from the movies "Running Man" and "VideoDrome". The lyrics are from "Song To The Siren", which was a track on Tim Buckley's 1970 album "Starsailor".
