Thanks for all of the responses. I had no idea this music vid I created would be so popular. I love both versions actually. But this one is so clubby and danceable and still sticks to the awesome original concept.
@misfit13091 I just "found" the Fear Factory cover of this song. I remember hearing it a time or two, but never knew who it was. Great version. I very much dig the remix with Gary Numan and Fear Factory. It may be the best of both worlds.
Thinner than the original? Obviously you don't have both of these tracks on original vinyl sources to really check, because I do, and I've listened to them back-to-back recently on a decent system, and holy crap this version is 10 times punchier and fuller sounding. I still love the original, but I find it more charming because of the sparse, thin sound of the mix, while this remix gives my stereo a real workout, while still being at least somewhat faithful to the original.
The reason that remakes are never as good as the original is... if the original wasn't fantastic to begin with, we wouldn't have heard of it and it wouldn't have BEEN remade!
It's good, but the use of Digital Synths as opposed to pure Analogs (Minimoog, Polymoog, Arp Odyssey) really take something away from the mix.... The original was better, me thinks.
The only and by far I think the best remix so far I've had heard on the radio of our car. My family started dancing around inside when this turned on. Good times, good times. Haha.
Most people probably came here because of Birgirpall. HOLY SHIT the comment below mine is here because of Birgirpall too :D

I've always loved this version. I just noticed hints of We take mystery, one of my all time Numan favorites. (Numan concert tongiht :) )

It's pretty good if you really don't have a clue about music in general. Like color versions of old movies you don't get a thing about cinema.

Try linking your pc to a large amp system and then play this from 1:10 with plenty of bass. Then tell me which version is best!!!

everything done in analog sounds better. even the stage microphones of yesteryear made live perfomances sound bettrer and louder.

By 1987, synthesizers had gone all digital. that explains the thin sound in this.
The original 1979 version with the real analog Polymoog sounds the best!

Probably a tad controversial, but i agree - the 87' remix is better than the original.
