808 State - Lopez (ZANG 87)

[MrStuNoo]

Not bad for a 14-year-old track, could possibly make it in today's charts.

I just thought of this song today oddly and had to see if it was on youtube. Just finished listening to Bjork's "Who is this" as well so I am in a mood (good one) but even if I wasn't this song would move me to tears from joy and sadness. I am having a hard time expressing in words the emotions this song makes me feel. Wish I could switch souls with everyone so they could understand.

There is something very evocative about this song that also defies conventional explanation. It resonates a tinge of 80's Crowded House/Tears for Fears melded with some trippy latter movement of electronica/punk that was unfortunately relegated to the underground scene.

Seriously, it's euphoric; it's beautiful, it's all of good emotions rolled up into a nostalgic trip down memory lane that I only know vicariously through movies. "Joys of Regret" indeed.

@supercooled I agree, it's a powerful and moving song--probably my favorite 808 State cut; it helps that I'm a MSP fan as well. What an atmosphere they create.

I feel that Eno's Metamorphic Mix, which I was pleased to see someone also posted, is even better. It's so true to the original, but with welcome embellishments, that to me it sounds like an extended mix.
