As a DJ, I picked this same UK 12" import up (as I had their earlier more experimental efforts) and played the shit out of it for the 3-6 months before it's US release. I never got tired of the extended issue (like the way I did with Soft Cell's Tainted Love) "dub" mix. I also loved the Human League Orchestra's "dub" LP as a whole. 30 years later this has lost a bit of it's shine, but I still play it from time to time for nostalgic purposes. Haven't heard their newest attempt at revival. Somehow I'm not that tempted. But I'd do anything to go back in time 30 years and be there for the night and the first time I played this at the club over a 1000 watt system.Duncanmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851644219536584126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-808040251063070432011-04-23T09:36:34.981-05:002011-04-23T09:36:34.981-05:00gotta say one of the most irritating songs ever,ma...gotta say one of the most irritating songs ever,made worse by the fact it was used on a tv ad in uk.mind you ,cant stand anything else by em either or any of that other 'new romantic' crap like soft cell etc, yuk!<br />hey,this post is a bit late as an april fooldave pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-29302996865576657592011-04-22T21:58:22.373-05:002011-04-22T21:58:22.373-05:00Hey, thanks for the link to the documentary!

At that time it seemed unbelievable that anyone involved in something as punky and crazed as Rez/Rev could come up with something so "dark and mysterious"!<br /><br />(I'd like to say age played a factor in my ignorance but I'm pretty sure this thought occured to me while I was in my early twenties.I hang my Rock Nerd head in shame.)CallPastorJerkfacenoreply@blogger.com
