  • Love this version ! ...*Bounces Madly* ..Smiles..Thanks for doing this..T ~ :]

  • Awsome remix!!! I am an 80's kid. Grew up in this era. You did a great job of this...congrats!!

  • 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.

  • very very brilliant ,i love more than that

  • 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!

  • Fantastic mix. well done. I was a big fan of the Thompson Twins a long time ago and this is just superb.

  • excellent remix, true to the spirit of the original, hard to improve perfection, but ya did and did yourself proud, what else you got?

  • 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).

  • THOMPSON TWINS FOREVEEERR!!!

  • 80er geil

  • A really cool song! Luv it

  • Great mix. Bass. HOT!

  • 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

  • This is not the thompson twins mix..there is something missing in this mix......

  • eh?

  • No, it's better than the original. I'd love to hear an extended remix / dance mix. Unbeliveably Brilliant - Especially the base...
