So Get Up (written and vocalized by Ithaka) was a 1993 track credited to the Portuguese house music production duo Underground Sound of Lisbon. The initial music was created by DJ Vibe & Doctor J, with lyrics and vocals by the Californian poet and rapper, Ithaka〔http://www.nme.com/nme-video/youtube/id/bzgjls85etM〕(using his alias name, Korvowrong). Ithaka lived and recorded in Lisbon, Portugal from 1992-1998. Original 12" mix is 9 minutes and 22 secs long, and was originally released as the B side of the "Chapter One E.P". The A Side being "Dance With Me" (a track sampling Age Of Love). In Portugal this was released by KAOS Records, and worldwide by Tribal UK and Twisted Records (U.S.). In 1994, the UK edition of the single (now as A side), had a few remixes by Danny Tenaglia and Junior Vasquez as well as an original mix and a cappella version. "So Get Up" is an underground progressive house music, with lyrics written and vocalized by Ithaka, about "End of The World". It became a major Portuguese dance music "national anthem", it was the very track that influenced many clubbers (better club users) to get interested in house music. Famous for its shouting "So Get Up, forget the past, the end of the world is upon us! Pretty soon it will all turn to dust!" Rob Di Stefano, owner of Twisted Records (U.S.) said on the Cd inlay:
In 2003, Miss Kittin used the intro of "So Get Up" on her album ''Radio Caroline Vol.1''. SO GET UP under varying titles (Get Up, Get Up-Go Insane !, etc.) has been used in records of Fatboy Slim, Stretch & Verne and others. In 2005, Kaos Records released a 10th Anniversary Edition of the single. The CD release included 8 different tracks: ==The "So Get Up" Controversy== In 1993, Ithaka had originally written and recited the poem called So Get Up (The End Of The Earth Is Upon Us) for his weekly segment of a radio program called Quatro Bairro on Antena One in Lisbon, Portugal. The next year he rerecorded it as a guest performer to be the primary vocal of a B-Side single for the Portuguese dance music group called Underground Sound Of Lisbon. The song became an instant national hit and was later released internationally as a ten-mix, double vinyl set on New York's Tribal Records (a subsidiary of I.R.S. Records/E.M.I. Records). The song climbed to 8th place on the Billboard's Independent Dance Music Charts for the U.K. - and number 52nd in the United States. Since 1995, the song has been remixed a minimum of a hundred times including versions by such greats as Fat Boy Slim, Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Cosmic Gate and has appeared on over fifty compilations with combined sales in the millions. As the original music has been stripped away by each succeeding producer, the only singularly unifying element of all 100+ mixes is Ithaka's poem and his vocals. Ironically, the song which was considered the first modern "Portuguese" musical export was released without even a "featuring Ithaka" credit even though Ithaka, a Californian who was only temporarily residing in Lisbon, was the primary publishing rights owner of the track and never a member of the Underground Sound Of Lisbon project. Reportedly no actual record royalties were paid to Ithaka for nearly two decades and lawsuits followed, finally being resolved for an undisclosed amount.〔http://www.music-love.com/index.php?view=display&id=397287&option=com_videos〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「So Get Up」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
