Favorite 12" Singles/Versions/Mixes

"Tony, you do realise that we're going to lose money on every one of these that we sell?" "It doesn't matter because we're not going to shift many anyway."

 

Very Beautiful song! I love the music and the vocals ,very airy sound. Should be as a soundtrack to a Romantic 80' movie. I am going to order the cd So– Horseshoe In The Glove.

 

Covenant-Sound Mirrors (Version), 2016

 

Frozen Plasma-Irony (Extended D.M.O. Style), 2006

 

A New England - Kirsty MacColl

 

This is a terrible remix of a terrible song, the whole 'rap' thing just doesn't work with bernards voice.
It's embarassing to hear it.

Now granted, their are terrible songs that have good remixes, but the remix doesn't do that either.
They had a lot more songs that were worthy of being a single.

'Until the End of Time' should have been a proper release instead of a limited fan exclusive.
(It's available digitally now).

Revenge/Monaco had some instrumental versions i've enjoyed
Would of been nice for 'Get The Message' to have had that treatment as well. I love the 'Getting Away With It' instrumental.

Revenge-Pineapple Face (Pineapple Face Calls It a Day)

 

Kim Carnes "Draw of the Cards" - 12" Special Long Version - 1981
Probably too experimental to have been a single at the time...

 

Alphaville "Sounds like a Melody" - 12" Special Long Version - 1984
Incredible orchestration for an electronic pop song...

 

This is a bonafide classic! One of my favorite 12" remixes ever.

 

The Violin Version of "It's A Wonderful Life" is especially great.

 

One of the many reasons Factory is such a great story!

 

Fortunately the vast majority of the crowds at the venues I DJd in the early 90s disagreed, this track always got people up when I'd be doing a "UK" set; kickin' low end too, thunderous.

 

De/Vision-Your Hands on My Skin (Sonnet Shuttle Mix) 1990/2002

 

My favorite Siouxsie 12":

 

Marsheaux-Now This Is Fun! (The Eagle Has Landed Version), 2017

 

Another nice one from the gals-
To The End (Extended Mix), 2014
'You are afraid to leave, I am afraid to leave you. You are already gone, I am too blind to see...'

 

obviously, songs made as 'dance songs' or dj friendly don't have to be great to be played.
some can be both.

i know the electronic project was an outlet for bernard to experiment with other styles, but i prefer the electronic synth sound was what he
was best know for, and in my opinion was his best style.

Giacomo Belbo are you a fan of New Order - Blue Monday?

 

Guess I should have clicked 'Reply' (newbie). Are you a fan of Blue Monday by New Order, Giacomo?

 

Here's a classic from a disco vet. Sleek, mysterious, nothing excessive, with a killer chorus.
Peter Brown-They Only Come Out At Night

 

Cabaret Voltaire - "Sensoria"
It took two album tracks and combined them into a smoking 12"

 

Skinny Puppy - "Testure"

 

hilt - "Get Stuck"

 

Above & Beyond - " Good For Me" Club Mix
