What an outstanding track. I got this on ebay a few years ago, it's without a doubt my most prized Visage vinyl (hey, we're ALL still looking for the 12" of Der Amboss)!

I really respect the Dance mix of Frequency 7, but this original version should have been included on the first album. It's shocking that it's not even on any best of collection (even the Master Series cd).

Cheers for the upload, hopefully now this track will get the recognition it deserves.

Google 'soulseek guide' and read it so you know how its works - it is a lot safer than limewire and it is very fast (As long as you download from someone with a high bandwidth) plus you need to share tracks to gain respect among the users - once you get set up with your username tell me it in a private mail in Discogs and i will add you then you can download rare stuff from me, as well as talking on the chat rooms!!

OH MY GAWD!!!... What is this version??????? I only have the slower instrumental version. This mix is just mind blowing. It's SO futuristic and underground, this is literally killing me. Absolute chills, where can I get this version?

Thank You very much for letting my ears and my whole being to be exposed to this mix.

This is the original version - a b-side from the original debut-single release of 'Tar'. The 'Frequency 7' available on the CD is a so-called 'dance mix' which is instrumental and a bit slower. This one is much much more chaotic as the song progresses :) I think this one is a typical tribute to David Bowie (there's a line in the song saying 'Life on Mars' or something...)... And this is definitely their most experimental track. Awesome.

@Jarren202 I'm guessing it's something to do with the Tar single being released on a different early record label (Radar Records?)
