I get your point- pioneers in new sound / editing practice etc. - kudos to them for this, but you missed my point- NASA technology or monkey with stick technology, it still sucks.
This track is immune to criticism: anyone saying that it's wrong just have no idea what they're talking about. In 1981, when this was made, there was no digital editing; no onscreen sound control, just good old physical cuts. Nobody was doing stuff like this apart from Jamaican dub masters. This is a seminal track.
@brianartilleryAnd proves that productionwise Soft Cell and Mike Thorne knew what they were doing. This 12" pays homage to the old jamaican dubplates; with the vocal side on A side and the dub version with no vocal on the B side., filling the space left with every FX available on the studio, and so turning the drum and bass tracks into a riddim you can mix with evertything you want. This is a Dj tool and should be wiewed as that.
well for one since I first saw this on Vinyl one side the "dub" the other "Tainted Love" I have always liked this better because it reminds me of just goofin around. Bet it was fun to create back when you had to splice tape and actually edit.
This is bad, first it's got no new sounds just mixed up the original and the lyrics now make no sense whatsoever, and the awesome melody is almost wiped out.
@MkirkD: Was done + produced by Soft Cell themselves, so don´t rant here how "so bad" this is (mostly only a distraction from the fact that it is not one´s taste, well, we can fight about taste for millions of years, or?), AND put the blame on Soft Cell and write THEM a letter.
just curious here..did anybody have a problem playin this song in its entirety? cause the song runs for 9m15s..but the song stops & freezes at like 8m & doesnt continue. Is it only me or is everyone who's playin this song here on YT have the same problem as me? Just curious. Thanks. keep me posted anyone..if you're havin the same technical difficulties as me. I deeply appeciate it. I dindt listen to this whole song & had it posted on my FACEBOK on my profile. I hope that doesnt happen there. :-(
@ollie633 This was on the B-side of the 12" version, on the A-side u had Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go and the B-side had 2 tracks, Memorabilia and Tainted Dub
This mix is SWEET! I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE AREN'T DIGGING THIS! Bunch of No-love-for-dub-HATERS postin on here
