Queen - Radio Ga Ga (Irregular Disco Workers Edit)

Definitely a Queen favorite of mine, both in music og lyrics. Also my very first encounter with the band when it hit the charts in 1984.

Apparently this song was the result of drummer Roger Taylor playing with his new tech toys; a Roland Jupiter 8 and a Linn drum machine.
Irregular Disco Workers has replaced the trademark arpeggiator bassline with a slapbass (much like Camille Jones "The Creeps"), but it works surprisingly well. A little filter on Freddie's sparse vocals and a little extra kicks, snaps and cowbells. We love cowbells!
Nice!

Eurythmics - Greetings from a dead man (Special Edit) by Belabouche

From the soundtrack 1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother) comes this forgotten gem; IMO some of Eurythmics best work - and still fresh sounding!
The original in itself is semi-instrumental, and by adding a little percussion, delay and a couple of bpms italian DJ/producer Belabouce takes this balearic beauty into its late twenties.
I do hope to see this on released properly very soon!
