An unlikely collaboration between the original synth pioneers. Released in 2004 this also incorporates Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass” in the lyrics. I suspect the vocals were specially recorded as the track nods back to Planet Rock towards the end, he couldn’t resist !
Mixed by UK DJ/Producer Paul Daley (A Man Called Adam, Leftfield) and featuring guest rapper MC Chatterbox
The 2 dubs are disappointing with the Disco beats and wet bass on Dub 2, that goes off all random white noise and analogue sounds. Dub 1 is slightly better, the bassline and bits of the vocals, but far too long.
