[nintendo9963]

Geiler Remix

[1965DAZA]

Yes it sounds like soft cell / human league but the more i play it the more i like it.  thanks for posting

[cullyvan]

Original demo my arse. The production values are way too high.

[bregreen72]

Dont like this version, off to listen to the original on my tape recorder.

[foxintheforest]

original demo vocals/synths modern baseline

[peter160266]

Such a great discovery this original(???) version.

Yes, sound like Soft Cell (drumcomputer), some parts from female voice sounds like Propaganda.

I love both versions!!

[ianrussll]

This does sound like a cross between Soft Cell and the Flying Lizards! Still cool though...

[SuperSimonuk]

@ianrussll well heaven 17 soft cell and human league are all from sheffield and all started same time, its possible they worked together? maybe not human league, but possibly soft cell

[crystallite291]

kool

[NEILVANCE]

good and funny

[clemzzz]

Of course this is the demo !!! dohhhhh !

[gymbeef]

Heaven 17 do Soft cell and the flying lizards , Brilliant.

[maccagrabme]

Sounds like a modern remix.

[tronique]

@maccagrabme

Yes, sounds like "I wanne be an 80s Track" - but it sounds good.

[Squiddy200]

This is a better version



[stereogrIm]

I'd have bought it, but don't think it would have been a big hit like the other version

but then again, i've got a flock of seagulls single somewhere.

[EdlyLeMar]

do I like this more than the original? maybe!

[JAMIELEEMARBELLA]

My buddy played this to me today, he knows his shit and swears to me its the ORIGINAL DEMO, i dunno but if it is its about 20 years b4 its time, either way its fuckin awesome!!

[cypionate011]

when ever it was made most of that are Roland System 100 sounds

[soepil]

@cypionate011: And it sounds like the MiniKorg 700 for the bassline :-)

[333Chrome]

this mix was made a long time after the original version

[xandyx21]

very Soft Cell -Tainted Love

[mariantonetta]

Bloody good init? Sexxxxy.

[gotanigo]

Soft Cell stopping by for a visit? ;-)

[veritas6464]

The Human League "Demo" more like!

[garethella]

glad they polished it up a bit.

[xandyx21]

If this the original demo then they should have stuck with it coz WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW

[jimmythenutbrain]

enola gay

[darwleg]

It sounds like tainted love by soft cell.....

[ma1com10tatgmaildotc]

fuk me that is shit !

[tostare]

Great version, never heard this before!

[p65656565]

cool

[TheGodParticle]

This song has a kinky feel to it, a bit like the picture above.

[salfordguy69]

sounds a bit like tainted love meets human league!!! love it.

[EdlyLeMar]

interesting!

[raftinthomas]

Cool. You can hear the being-boiled-sound.

[tostare]

@raftinthomas yeah and the Empire State Human sound :)

[dja51]

This is sooooooooooo camp!

[MrJanneman1963]

Wow... was dit er eerst?>? Dit is eerder de oude Human League.... waar die gasten eerst inzaten..

[dexterxan]

at the time of this posting ...who the fuck are the 16 who dont like this??????

[emanuelshapera]

@dexterxan Those who fell into temptation

[electro808kat]

WOW this is a really nice mix..yummy! The synths are nice & bright!

[daleruk8642]

@againstthecurse: thanks! I thought cradle of filth was just a joke band from "the it crowd"

[KRISPYKWENT29]

It does sound like a 'mashup' with Tainted Love....

[CHANNELCAMEL]

Turns an iconic song to average 80s trash pop

[Jarren202]

So come on, any Heaven 17 fans able to shed light on this?

Is this REALLY a pre-1982 recording?

It sounds VERY crisp and clean.

[citizenpaparazzo]

Sounds like Tainted Love by Soft Cell, I prefer the final version.

[againstthecurse]

Cradle of filth really made this song. It's so much more believable coming from cradle of filth. This just sounds a bit...uh...boring.

[sammyred8]

Prefer the chorus and instrumental on the final version but the verses sound alright swung...

[ajs41]

I wouldn't normally believe this was the original demo from 1982 but knowing how ahead of their time Heaven 17 were I wouldn't rule it out completely.

[seltsamgrau]

Original demo or not......I like it. :-)

[sammyred8]

This most definitely not the original

[SL4GW4GG3N]

Hahaha this is so fuckin bent hahaha

[santosh3260]

this version is lame. the original version soars like a SR71..this sounds like a paperplane..lol

[santosh3260]

@Homoholic ..Sorry mate, ain't no fun of cheesy stuff, if i was i would be raving to Human league..lol.there is a cover by Cradle of Filth which is awesome too.

[Jarren202]

@santosh3260 Don't knock the Human League. Their first two albums are fantastic.

[santosh3260]

@Homoholic oh yeah..don't judge that easily if you don't know me.

[666softcell]

is mixed with the rythm of "tainted love" from softcell , fucking good!!!!!!, never heard this mix befor!!!!!!

[vukasinstojkov]

awesome

[funkaflex1]

Try new order for the version your thinking of ;-)

[ZilogJones]

There's no way in hell this is the "original demo"!

[HOLLYwoodgoesFRANKIE]

@ZilogJones You better complain to their record company then and ask why they have put this on Heaven 17's compilation CD as "Original Demo" lol

[TimeForTimer]

@ZilogJones Not only is it the original demo, Glen does a version with Claudia Brucken at Scala of it and says it's the demo version before starting the song.

[djnur]

eLeEecCcCTtTrRroOoOo!!!!!!

[BigNobbah]

warm leatherette meets tainted love - great stuff

[aidan24326]

I agree

[NumanFanlfc]

Sorry theres also a hint of soft cell tainted love in there too.

Great aint it. :-)

[solidstate0]

If I have to explain how, then you clearly have no idea of what The Flying Lizards sound like.

[solidstate0]

This sounds great. It's almost as if it's a mixture of Heaven 17 and the Flying Lizards!

[parachuteclubbed]

How . . . ?

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

HOW FRICKING FANTASTIC IS THIS! IS this the original demo from circa 1982?... It sounds VERY modern indeed! WOW, LOVE IT!!!!
