The decadence of the 80s (Part 56). [repost]

...there's a party going on tonight at The White House.
See you in the lobby, we gonna have some fun...

Die heute vorzustellenden Songs (jaja, es sind zwei!) bereiten mir eine ganz besondere Freude. Bei den Interpreten handelt es sich um ein daenisches Duo, welches in den 80er Jahren einige ihrer Kompositionen in die Charts bringen konnte. Nach 1993 wurde es ruhig um die beiden, bis sie 2004 wieder was von sich hoeren liessen und schliesslich vor zwei Jahren eine neue CD veroeffentlichten.
Die heutigen Songs also sind auf einer 12" enthalten, die voellig unterbewertet 'so dazwischen mal' erschienen ist. Schaendlicherweise kam es damals zu keiner digitalen Veroeffentlichung, und auch in den 'Best Ofs' fehlt der Titel der A-Seite. Der Titel der B-Seite wiederum gibt zwar den Titel des dazugehoerigen Albums wieder, wurde aber z. B. als CD-Bonustrack auf eben diesem nicht beruecksichtigt, wo der Song doch so schoen dazugepasst haette! Aber gut.
Gluecklicherweise gibt es Musiksammler, die auch Vinylversionen qualitativ hochwertig ins www stellen. So geschehen mit eben diesen beiden Titeln vom user 'Baerli' aus den eightiesfanatic Forum (Link links). Da bedanke ich mich grad nochmal dafuer.
Waehrend nun der Titel der A-Seite eine voellig unspektakulaere mixtechnische Behandlung erfuhr um die Songstruktur nicht unnoetig zu veraendern, hat der Titel der B-Seite ein ganz neues akustisches Gesicht bekommen. Dieser wurde von mir naemlich um satte 32% hochge'pitched' allerdings ohne dabei die Tonhoehe zu veraendern. Dies habe ich als notwendig erachtet um die Geschwindigkeit des Songs an den Titel der A-Seite anzupassen, und damit auch um der gemeinsamen Thematik gerecht zu werden. Jetzt haette ich natuerlich noch den Titel der A-Seite um einen Ton heben und den Titel der B-Seite um einen Ton senken koennen um damit einer Art Megamix den Vorschub leisten zu koennen, aber das war mir dann doch des Guten zu viel (probiert hab' ichs naemlich!), und so steht das Ergebnis eben fest so wie es hier zu finden ist.
Ich kann da nur mehr eines sagen: There's a party going on...
ENJOY! FLOYD ANDERSON.

The decadence of the 80s (Part 71).

"Go To The People...!"

Hi folks!

Today I present you a song, where the re-recorded version is way better than the original recorded one. Unfortunately this new version was only to find on a b-side of a 12''. But fortunately it was also released as a Single-CD, and they did a serious instrumental version too. So it was then pretty easy for me to edit this tune, that it became a very nice and easy listenable 12''-Version finally.

ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.

ACT! - like, ...you know? ;-) (Part 2)

As I promised, here is the second song, which was also the second release from this music project (I don't wanna say band). Sadly they splitted up after one year of existence. But thank god, we still can listen to their music, and thinking about, what would have been possible, if they would have been played out their complete potential.

But well, here we are: I used to need the album version and the instrumental version, which was made from the album version and not from the single or the extended version, thank god. So, here ends the story of ACT at this time. ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.

ACT! - like, ...you know? ;-) (Part 1)

Today I proudly present you a shorttime collaboration between PROPAGANDA vocalist, CLAUDIA BRÜCKEN and cult favourite electro pioneer THOMAS LEER. The pair released a handful of smart singles and one album before deciding to cut and run. Satirizing the glitz and indulgence of the entertainment industry, the first release came at a time when perhaps the public had grown weary of the promotional style of ZTT and just didn't 'buy' it. Ultimately, the duo suffered the cynicism of the industry they lampooned.

And why Part 1? Well I already now decided to lay my hands on a second song from this funny collaboration. But later more. If I'm not completely wrong, this special 'chronovisor mix' is a request from somebody sometimes back in those days. :-) This version ist chronovised, dreamtimed, crossovered, cygnetized, razormaided, disconeted, mastermixed, you name it, from the 'extended version', from the 'naked civil version' and from the 'that's entertainment version'. The today's song is dedicated to all my mixing friends outside all over the world. Keep all the love from me, and please keep faith with me! ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.

The ignorance of the 90s (Part 28).

Hi music.blog.lovers and a happy belated new year!

I hope it started as good as with me. It has been a while since I put a mix up, because a lots of changes are lying ahead of me.

This is the last posting I make while I'm in Australia, because in a few days I'm moving back to New Zealand, because I can't stay in Australia permanent but in New Zealand I can thank to my wife (she who has to be obeyed). :-) And I (we) are really looking forward to it.

The today's song is performed by the second band of the now ex-bass player of NEW ORDER, PETER HOOK. I only took the vocal version and the instumental version and made my own 12" version of this wonderful tune, an oldfashioned chronovisor mix.

Shalalaaalalalalaaa... Shalalaaalalalalaaa...

See you next time when I'm in New Zealand!

ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.
