PHE-NOM-IN-AL!!!!!! No disrespect to Colin Newman, but he's probably listening to this and thinking to himself, "THAT's the way I should have done it."
Hey, DON'T wake up the giant! It would destroy me to know he hates it. So many covers of Wire and Colin's music have been made, he probably doesn't care anymore. So let's keep it quiet :D But, I'm glad you like it, so thank you!
I used to be dj in a small club in the Netherlands in the 80ties. This song was my 'emergency song' if nothing helped to get them dancing.. I searched your version on spotify. Would be great if it could be there tooo...
We didn't get the permission or cleared the rights to cover this song because since we had no intention of selling it, we taught we would save ourselves a lot of trouble. So selling it or streaming it on Spotify is not possible.
what a pity. I understand though. i think your version has more vibe, suspense and more tension. The mix is even more danceable. I have listened to your other work as well. I also like dead city a lot! It is awesome. I am an illustrator/graphic designer from the Netherlands, and currently I am working on a book called 'mixtape'in which I react with illustrations on some of my favorite songs. (bands like Apoptygma Berzerk, New Order, but also Kate Bush :) you can see a glimps of my project on www.icecold.cool It's a sort of a illustrated mixtape. i feel likedoing 'better late than never' too. because I have a link with it. your version. if you dont mind. maybedead city too, because it is sovisual and strong. that is..if you like it.
