[soundslike1981]

Here's a new link:

http://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1QQ1DBWCG2N0B1MSC2OQZT9CYS

Just click it, not "right click, save". On the page it takes you to should be a link that says "download now". Should be an 80mb+/- ZIP file containing 22 mp3s.

Neat find. Still prefer the original--this version lacks a little of the energy/immediacy (mainly by holding the same tone for so long, lacking the quick analogue-syth shifts of the original) but this version is a cool tune.

I guess this is sort of like the version of the track had it actually been a rave-era track rather than new wave era?

Yeah no kidding, the difference between a song and a track. I think the original works much better as a song, but if I were wanting to throw this track down in the middle of a techno set, that edit would be the perfect fit...interesting though how easy it was to take the song from one genre to the other.

maybe it was easy - but it already took a long time (25 years!)
the edit is from 2005.
that`s the guy who did it

Sorry, no implied slight on the guy who did it, it sounds really good! I was just impressed at how naturally it transitioned from being a new wave track to being a ravey techno track.

that song about the woman loving 14-year-old boy is pretty intense!

Thanks to you both, glad you dig it. If I ever made more physical copies of the 1981 box, maybe I'd graduate this into a proper CD, rather than (mostly) a playlist on the mp3 disc. . .

As a professed non-lyrics-listener/non-Deutsche sprecher, I'm not sure I recall which track is the one you're referencing, Noma. . .


As a sidenote, the Weltklang blokes turned out to be quite friendly, requested a copy of this mix and said they quite enjoyed it. Didn't think to ask them what they thought of the remix. . .
