"Passion" is a longtime favorite of mine. As are The Flirts. I have a hunch who picked this.
"The Man With the Red Face" is new to me. An interesting pick, if a bit long for what it is.

That Flirts track is an absolute fucking stormer. I, too, think I know who picked it. Even tho' he's a very naughty boy I have to vote for it (the Laurent Garnier article is pretty good but, you know, no match for the other)

I was never a Flirts fan, which is strange because they tick a lot of boxes with me. This doesn't convert me.
I liked B a lot.

The session vocals of the Flirts track don't work for me. The music is fine dance-synth..The second song is a pretty standard dance track with tortured sax...another close one..Vote B, but may revisit later..

Wow, that's a whole lot of 'not my thing!'
A is shorter.
B won't play for me, btw, but I did find this:

A has a certain plastic charm, but it's the kind of track you can only enjoy in a kitsch way.
B is a club classic, so not a very original pick, but its a wonderfully propulsive amalgamation of techno and jazz that captures the excitement of both genres and keeps you hooked.
Easily B

Those Flirts girls are probably more fun to watch than listen, but if this song is an indication, they must be all makeup and surgery. Piss poor track.
Unlike B, which I found to be one of the highlights of this cup. I had no idea about this Laurent Garnier, for what I read is far from my normal interests, but this track has really impressed me. The 9 minutes passed by like a flash and it got me moving my ass all the time (which could have been risky because I was driving)
By some miles and more

A is fun and the hilariously amateur hour vocals make me grin nostalgically, but it's no match for B. Great pick, now that's much more like it.

A is a bit on the cheesy side of synthpop for my tastes, that bassline is very Commodore 64. I guess it's a little bit of fun, but there's a hint of The Nolans about it, mobile disco stuff you can imagine being played to baffled pensioners in a dingy Blackpool boozer.
I'm immediately suspicious of B, because you should never trust anyone with a name like an expensive shampoo. DJ Wash n' Go would've had a much more urban attitude. This is music for people with centre-partings and paisley shirts, very polite and attempting to be sophisticated. And it's also not too bad, and a nice change of pace and genre for the cup. Overlong, and tasteful dance music is a bit boring, but that sax is utilised quite well.

Like 'em both more or less but this is an easy B by virtue of Der Saxophone.
P.S. Thanks to toomanyhatz for the link I can see.

A is the sort of thing tory would have got poppered up to back in the day, whereas B is G wearing his love beads down the bluenote in hoxton.
i think i'd rather rather have a date with B

A is fine - I could see how it would be fun to see them live - but it's not particularly interesting. On the other hand, B is pretty cool - lots of interesting stuff going on there.
