A CLOSE COUSIN TO YESTERDAY’S SONGS

It was just over a year after the relase of  Phobia by Flowered Up that this track became known:-

mp3 : Electronic – Feel Every Beat

The combined talents of Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr, made Electronic a highly listenable band, coming to  prominence with the hit single Getting Away With It (featuring a co-vocal from Neil Tennant) in late 1989. However,  the next hit, Get The Message didn’t appear for some 15 months.

The self-titled debut LP hit the shops in April 1991 to near universal critical acclaim along with enough sales to propel it to #2 in the album charts. Factory Records must have been confident of getting the band a third successive Top 20 single when they released a remixed version of Feel Every Beat in September 1991. Regarded by many as the strongest track on the album with its mix of dance/house/indie rock appealing to a very wide audience, it was put out on vinyl in 7″ and 12″ form as well as on CD single with two top-notch previously unreleased tracks  to supplement the remixes, all of which have something to offer:-

mp3 : Electronic – Feel Every Beat (7″ remix)
mp3 : Electronic – Feel Every Beat (12″ Remix)
mp3 : Electronic – Feel Every Beat (Dub Mix)
mp3 : Electronic – Feel Every Beat (DNA Mix)
mp3 : Electronic – Second To None
mp3 : Electronic – Lean To The Inside

One of the few lyrics ever to be explained by Bernard, Feel Every Beat registers his disgust at the criminalisation of rave culture in the UK over some of Johnny’s finest guitar work. But to the bemusement of all involved, it got no higher than #39. It deserved much better.
