BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1978
R E Q U E S T
“Chase” is an electronic instrumental by Italian synth-pioneer Giorgio Moroder from the Academy Award-winning soundtrack and film Midnight Express (1978). In January 1979 “Chase” peaked at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Although originally branded as disco, the song is considered to be, along with Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love”, a pioneer of the HI-NRG genre that came to prominence in the early 1980s. For the 12″ single the song was extended to an epic thirteen minutes and reached #31 on the US Dance Charts.The music was arranged by Giorgio Moroder with Harold Faltermeyer.
This 12″ is a special one-sided single.

An absolute classic. Thanks.
A classic of course! What did you think of the Jam & Spoon remix released in 2000? I quite liked it.
Wow i didnt know you had this here. Love this tune, makes me think of Art Bell and Coast to Coast lol
Thanks Paul

Thanks again!
i had no idea this existed….bliss!
From a mailinglist I got the following link:
http://soundcloud.com/giorgiomoroder/giorgio-moroder-chase-us-12
Of course the downloadlimit is already reached, but he gave another
downloadlink via Zippyshare and guess what: in the ID-Tag I read
the address of this site. It’s the same file (including original ID-Tag)
as the above link.
I think this is the best compliment you can get: the original artist
is using your remastered version at his own website!
It’s still a great track and thank you very much for the excellent digital
version from this track (not available on CD)!
Hey Mike thanks for letting me know. That is very cool indeed 🙂
I didn’t know there was longer version of this great tune.
Sounds super, like all Giorgio’s work.
Thank you very much Paul!
This 13 minute version can not be found on CD. It’s been re-issued on vinyl but never CD. So glad to be able to hear it in this quality. Thank You!
