SummersRadio™ Classic! Dead Or Alive - 'Lover Come Back To Me' (Evolution Mix) It has been said that no music is truly original. Every artist is influenced by everything they've ever heard, either consciously or subconsciously. A lot of new club tunes lately have reminded me of the production sounds of Giorgio Moroder and Bobby Orlando - and also the early production work of Stock Aitken Waterman - with artists like Divine and Dead Or Alive - before they turned themselves into a very bland hit factory.
(I actually started this post and saved it into drafts a couple times - but after posting a couple tracks from the new Poker Flat Recordings compilation 'Forward To The Past' earlier today I thought it was time to publish it!)
When I posted the new Hertz & Subway Baby song 'Rejoice' (yesterday) I was instantly reminded of this club classic from Dead Or Alive. 'Lover Come Back To Me' was released in 1985 as the follow up to their number one smash 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' from their Youthquake album - and this particular remix is available on their 2003 hits compilation called 'Evolution'. The production is amazing on this one - I particularly love the breakdown about 3 and a half minutes in... Enjoy!
Try not to be too distracted by singer Pete Burns antics and compare the music to the new track from Hertz & Subway Baby..
(I love this sound - I just think it's important to know the influences as well - Cheers!)
