1) Arabesque was a famous German disco music group formed in 1977, consisting of Sandra Cretu (joined the group in 1979), Jasmin Vetter, and Michaela Rose. After a split in 1984 Jasmin Vetter and Michaela Rose continued as the group "Rouge", while Sandra Cretu started her career in the group Sandra with Michael Cretu.
Arabesque was popular in Japan, selling more than 6 million albums there. They also had success in the USSR. In 1980 the single "Take Me Don't Break Me" became a hit, which only scraped the German Top 40. Their next single, "Marigot Bay", would become their single Top Ten hit a few weeks later. Their last singles "Ecstasy" and "Time to Say Goodbye", turned hits after their split, on various central, south and east European countries, because they sounded very close to the "Italo-disco" sound, a very popular music genre of the European Discotheques at that time. Those songs spread and gained success through LP compilations of dance/pop music and bootleg tapes, so the group never could take advantage of this success neither those songs turn on any kind of charts as "singles". That was a common problem for many '80s European artists. The last Arabesque singles introduced the "Italo-disco" sound to Japan, under the term "eurobeat", previously used in the UK for the Stock Aitken Waterman productions. That soon lead to Japan's Super Eurobeat music style.
On December 16, 2006 Arabesque (featuring Michaela Rose and two new members Sabine Kaemper and Silke Brauner) headlined the second Retro FM festival in Moscow.

Fall of 2007 Arabesque graced his first cover of an international magazine with NOX, the leading and most admired English speaking Mid East publication. A slew of global 12 inch singles with a wide-reach across campus radio charts. As well earning himself sponsorship’s from L-R-G and Scifen Clothing. Arabesque has opened up for artists such as Wu-tang's Raekwon, Little Brother, Zion I, Dilated Peoples and Sean Paul."

3) Arabesque is a Dutch powerhouse trio from the mid nineties.
They produce an interesting music pure mixture of rock, fusion and progressive elements.
But they has two female singers in his second album "The Union" (2002), very different from his debut album, "Beyond the veil", 8 years before. Though could be qualified as prog-metal is easier to listen to than other bands if you're not into that music style. A "lighter" Dream Theater...?
6) Arabesque were a Pittsburgh area progressive rock band that began in 1973. They have one archival CD on Shroom Records containing recordings from 1976-1979.

Arabesque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel stoned.
I feel stoned.
I feel really stoned!
[Blow]
The lyrics of Arabesque's "Ecstasy" are a representation of the effects of drug use, particularly the use of marijuana. The lyrics begin with "Man... I feel stoned" repeated a few times to emphasize the feeling of being high. The use of the word "stoned" is a reference to the feeling of being under the influence of marijuana, which is commonly associated with feeling heavy and lethargic. The song then progresses with the repetition of the phrase "I feel really stoned!" to further emphasize the intensity of the feeling. The use of the word "really" adds a level of exaggeration, indicating that the feeling is amplified to an extreme degree. The final line of the song, "Blow," could refer to smoking marijuana, which is sometimes referred to as "blowing smoke."
Drug use is a common theme in music, particularly in the genre of rock music. The use of drugs has been associated with creativity and altered states of consciousness, which can influence an artist's work. However, the use of drugs can also have negative consequences, such as addiction, health problems, and legal issues. The lyrics of "Ecstasy" are a reflection of the glorification of drug use that has been prevalent in popular culture. While drug use can be a personal choice, it is important to consider the potential risks and consequences before engaging in such behavior.

Thank You very much for posting this song. Ecstasy is my favorite Arabesque song. I definitely prefer this long version than the original short version. I have this song on 1 of my CDs that I purchased from Switzerland. I also have this song in FLAC format (not lossy mp3) on my portable music player. I love this song a lot.
