The 1992 version has consequently dated - whereas this one sounds like something from Ocky Milk. (my favourite Momus record)
Between this and the Voyager (title track) 2006 remix you're really onto something with this ancient tunes, between the distant sort of nostalgia in their updated synth and the ultra-contemporary backdrops of Joemus also present are we seeing the makings of a future Slender Sherbet?
@musenheddo It's a bit more complicated than the description above really lets on; one version of this song was made in 1990, one in 1992, one in 2001, and one in 2010. What's more, each succeeding version samples bits of the one before. The Super Mario samples must've arrived at the 2001 version, made for a Romanporsche compilation (Japanese-only release). I used them quite a bit on my "Tokyo album". They were sampled from a Gameboy, or downloaded from some online library, can't remember.
I always wonder what goes on in your mind when recording new versions of old songs. Do you see them as separate entities? Do you see them as getting better with wisdom? Or do you see one riding on the back of another? (I'm thinking A Complete History of Sexual Jealousy here).
I find this incredibly catchy and also beautiful
