M People - Search For The Hero

M People are a British house music act from Manchester, who formed in 1990 and achieved success throughout most of the 1990s. The name M People is from the initials of Mike Pickering, who formed the group.

Pickering had been a member of Factory Records dance act Quando Quango, but became more noted as one of the original DJs at The Haçienda. Paul Heard was a member of acid jazz band, Ace of Clubs and Shovell had previously been in the collective Natural Life. The original plan had been to have a roster of different singers for different songs but having been spotted by Pickering and Heard, Heather Small became the distinctive vocalist of the group. She had been in the British soul band Hot House, who had released a number of critically acclaimed records without scoring any major success.

In 1994 and 1995 M People won the BRIT Award for Best British Dance Act, the latter as a result of the release of Bizarre Fruit. The first single from that album was "Sight for Sore Eyes" which climbed to number 6, helping the album to enter the UK Albums Chart and peak at #4 and stay in the Top 10 for four months into the following year. The second single from the album was "Open Your Heart", which became their seventh consecutive Top Ten hit in two years and at the Brit Awards '95 they collaborated with Sting on his track "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free". Their third single "Search for the Hero" was later used in the TV advertising campaign for the Peugeot 406. The song got to #9 in the charts.

Well the quality of this vob file was not too bad just a bit too noisy with grain/fizz and the 'speckled' effect was just a tad over the top for my liking. So I removed the grain/fizz until it is almost obliterated and the 'speckled' noise special effect that these makers of videos just love to overuse has been reduced to a much nicer assault on the eyes. This video is very low resolution and lacks detail and so I've enhanced and pushed it as far as it can go. Not a bad upscale considering the original.

Audio for this file was rubbish. I can't remember where I got this file from but boy its got some crappy audio. It was so muffled and dull. All you could hear was very low bass with almost no high end or mids in existence. Sounded like they were singing from inside a firmly locked garbage can. The sound had to be replaced and I took the sound from a CD and re-synced it to the video. Hey presto! Major improvement. I've ditched the audio from the original file and muxed the CD track into it so I can avoid this crap in future if I ever need the original file again.

This is the best quality online for this old video and I hope you enjoy it! :-)
