Another oddity from 1990 was this offering by Carlton. From the album, The Call Is Strong, produced by Smith & Mighty, the Bristol based 3 Stripe Studio production team who's signature style consisted of adding dubby sounds and trippy atmospherics to the very fashionable Soul II Soul beats of the era. Carlton had limited but effective success. Smith & Mighty had far more longevity, pioneering Drum & Bass via Trip Hop.
Not for the purists, I would have preferred to have started with Cool With Nature or even Love and Pain but I can't find them at present so I'm limited to Do You Dream which can be a bit overwhelming. High BPM's here and a frenetic percussion style, Part 2: Can't Pay Won't Pay is a dancefloor marathon with lots of breakdowns. Come On Back gives you a better idea of Carlton's style but if in doubt, listen to the Accapella. Carlton McCarthy has soul!

Maybe we could leave the crowd
Bodies talk, without sound
All alone out on the street
As we breathe, through the rain
When you hold me, do you dream
Does it seem, that you'll stay
Come together's what I dream
Linked together, like a chain
Can't break free, have to play
Can't be dreaming, its too real
How you feel, got to stay
When you hold me do you dream
We're linked together, like a chain
Inside my dreams,
We're linked together
Like a chain
