oh btw anyone who loves "Screen Kiss" should at least check out "17 Hills" on his latest album
Thanks for this - Spotifying _Map of the Floating City_ now, and enjoying it after a few years of not playing it.

xp i dig the slap bass, was specifically saying that those kinds of dancefloor-friendly touches are part of what distinguishes him from mcaloon

i am so used to the proper version of this so had a definite raised eyebrows moment when this remix was included on the recent(ish!) compilation.had never heard of this remix being available, but i love it.

Love this track, although it’s nearly 30 years later feels like it would fit right in to The Flat Earth.

Wrong album, I know, but man I had such a crush on Adele Bertei after seeing this go out.

No, will need to see if it’s on YouTube.

"Hyperactive" always reminds me of this song, in retrospect the similarities were definitely intentional. it even uses some of the same sounds!

His book ‘Speed of Sound’ is a good read, not least his encounter with Michael Jackson. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/inside-michael-jacksons-mansion-thomas-dolby-recalls-surreal-visit-192458/

And of course, Dolby specifically wrote 'Hyperactive' to order for Jackson, sent him a demo, and then never heard anything back. He presumably brought Adele Bertei in on his own version to provide the MJ vocal stylings that he had heard in his imagination.

I listened to this for the first time only a couple months ago. The first three tracks on this are so great that the second half can't help but pale. I also don't get the inclusion of "Hyperactive" at the end, it clashes with the vibe of the album imo
