Simply amazing version! Exactly what I was looking for with a remix of this song. This is very well done, current, greatly refreshed, without butchering the original. Btw: I know there is a videoclip version too, but I couldn't see it because Sony blocked it in my country. :(
Ive always loved this mix since I frst heard it. Its got just the right amount of tweaking to modernise it but without losing anything of what made the original special. You havent changed it to drastically. I think its good enough for an official release and I even had it set as my ringtone for a good while.
The only melodic difference (apart from the brilliant modernization) from the original track is that Micky D's version is a half-step higher. The original track's background is C, B-flat, (octave) C; Micky's version is C#, B natural, and (octave) C#. Micky even perfectly preserved Alannah's original percussion that gave the Twins that distictive sound. Bravo Mr. Ireland!
LOVED IT MICKY - I thought it sounded a bit like Funkytown by Lipps Inc to be honest, but hell this is pumping, you have made this sound fresh, the BPM is perfect, you should get Tom and Alannah to pay you for refreshing a great track. Have you thought of remixing Day after Day - or could you do the same thing to We Are Detective, though that one would be tricky. Thanks heaps. You avoided it becomeing cheesy like other remixes do (i.e. My Humps and Boom Boom Pow are awful remixes).
The 80's sure were the golden age of music. I saw the Thompson Twins back when they had "Concerts on the Common" in Boston in the early 80's. I was 12 years old, and I remember it like it was yesterday. Being a teenager during the 80's, I thought that music would always be this good. Was I ever wrong............
@tracksdc89 was lucky enough to see the Thompson Twins in Brisbane Australia in 1986, so all yes agree with you, how good that must have been those shows you went to
Came back one more time. I lost my models to my animation. Had a BAD meltdown on the computers and backup. I'll have to start from scratch. But I thought I would come back and say thanks for keeping the song here. I got to listen to it one more time. Thanks.
Hey Mr. D, I found you on myspace.. I hate myspace. So I was wondering if there was another way to get ahold of you? I want to be able to put Doctor Doctor to an animation i'm working on..
wow!!! this mix is so good. Heard it in a bar in Sitges, Spain, last week and several times over the week. Lets hope some bright spark at some record company takes this on and gives it a full release! The Thompson Twins were such a great band.
I really love this very upbeat kickín mix!!! Thanks!!! My 4 Roboraptors, my endless supply of ëmpty Jack Daniel's bottles, and I love dancing to this at max volume at all hours!!! I love Tom Bailey!!!! can I keep him?!!!
i love this song! it was my favorite as a young teenager! My last name is Thompson, so you can imagine how much teasing I got! Thanks for remixing it. Brings back memories.
I had a listen to Thomas' stuff. Really good!! Checked out his site as well.. excellent! Trapped is a crackin' tune! Vid rocks as well... loving the time-lapse idea. Hire me?? :-) Well, what would you like??
This is my unoffical remix of this classic!! I would love it if it was re-released in this form!! (Anyone out there listening!!) Thanx for the positive feedback 14rnr!! :-) Micky D!
This is a really good mix!! Keeps the original song but gives it a great new sound with a punchy beat!! Well done!
