CAT STEVENS - Was Dog A Doughnut? (chronovisor mix)

Hi out there!

Pre P. S.: I never thought that I would mix a tune from this artist ever! ;-)

It's been more than a year now that I posted a song from the 70s, but today's the day to do it again. I wanted to do this one anyway shortly, but a mail I recently got from Niels from Denmark, who still runs a famous private website about his favourite band THE HUMAN LEAGUE, reminded me of the today's song immediately. If you ever have a chance to listen to their song 'Total Panic' you maybe know what I mean.

So this tune today came out in 1977 and it didn't correspond at all to the other songs of the album from this artist IMHO. But I (still) see it as a musical forerunner to all the music that came out in the 80s which had an electronical backgrond.

Ach - I guess you all will see what I mean, right? ;-) The song itself is genius!

ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.

P. S.: This is my last posting made in Austria, because I return to Australia in two weeks time.

SEONA DANCING in the Mix



1. MORE TO LOSE [Evo-XR Single Version Reconstruction]


2. MORE TO LOSE [Evo-XR Instrumental Mix]


3. MORE TO LOSE [Evo-XR Remix]


4. SEONA DANCING Evo-XR MEGAMIX

Featuring:
Bitter Heart [12" Extended Mix]
Tell Her [12" Extended Mix]
More to Lose [DMC Remix]
On Your Side [McDoC Evo-XR Re-Mix]

Definitely one of the most popular 80's new wave anthems in the Philippines is Seona Dancing's MORE TO LOSE. In fact, in September 2008, WXB102 Internet radio (Manila's resurrected 1980's FM station that catered mainly to the new wave genre) made an online poll of "The Top 102 Songs of All Time" and "More to Lose" ended up taking the top spot (See the complete list posted by Dr. Stirring Rhod on his blog "The Doctor is In"). The group was composed of Ricky Gervais [the British comedian!!!] on vocals and Bill Macrae on Synthesizers. They only released two singles, 1. Bitter Heart and 2. More to Lose. So the megamix actually contains all of the tracks they've produced. For the reconstruction of the single version, I just edited the extended mix by rearranging the verses according to the original 7" version wherein the 1st verse starts with: "I was tired..." instead of "We used to cry..." (which was the first verse of the 12"er). Then, I also ended up doing an instrumental mix which was used by DJ Doc in his mash-up "Lose Your Song". As for the Evo-XR Extended remix, nothing fancy, just simply stretching out one of my fave tunes back in the day... well OK, up to now it's still among my top picks. Hope you check these out.

DANCE REACTION - Disco Train (chronovisor mix)

Hey folks, it's disco time!

Well, the fact is that I realised, after bringing out the heavy stuff from the 'Neue Slowenische Kunst' yesterday, some people may get upset with their lives, or get maybe in a deeply depression - and after my 'Soulbrother in mixing' DreamTime did such a fantastic mix of a disco tune I wanted to do since ever, but he was faster, I thought to post some light and dancy music today.

You may have noticed that the thing above is just one sentence, so I shouldn't talk such a lot of crap ;-) . It's typical for the German language, I think. The problem is: I try to write and talk in English, but I still do think in German.

Back to the topic: In short, the today's tune is from a Dutch music project, and it was quite a hit back in those days of the later disco music. It's a pity that they've done just a few more singles before they left the music scene.

ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.
