I always enjoy your blog very much. I really love this song. It reminds me of my adolescence, could you relive the link? I would greatly appreciate it.
Podrías subirlo nuevamente. Sería una gloria! Gracias
You’re back in full force! What an excellent selection! Hubert Kah is one of my favorite bands, and this is a marquee single. Thanks for posting!
Thank you Todd 🙂
Happy you’ve mended! We have all missed our 5x weekly dose of the best music of our lives. Peace and happiness to you Paul
Thank you mothloop I missed being here and especially all of you 🙂
So glad to see you are back. I hope you don’t have too much pain anymore and you can get some sleep at night. I really missed all of this here. The fantastic posts, the wonderful community and the comments. This is my favourite single by Hubert K. I love the remix and the anti-war lyrics. Thank you so much Paul.
Good to see you Daniel. There is still some pain and swelling but that is to be expected but nothing like in the beginning. I love this track too its so catchy and has a great vibe.
You’re fantastic Paul!! I’m such a big fan of Hubert Kah and really appreciate this addition to your “Paul-ography”. Michael Cretu is such a great producer and I so admire his work that he does here and on Sandra and of course, Enigma. Music like this needs to be heard again and again.
Many thanks!
Jeff
You’re welcome Jeff it was really hard trying to find a follow up to the massive Kraftwerk post so I just posted something I have wanted to post for a while now 🙂
What a fabulous song and great remixes! I tripped over the Extended Dance Mix after buying Hubert Kah’s – Best Of Dance Hits CD, so I never heard the Remix Single Version These guys were part of the German synthpop sound I loved so much when I later discovered The Twins’ Time Will Tell. Great music – and glad to chart it up there with the other Germans that were such an influence on my 80s upbringing (Peter Baumann, Peter Schilling, Marianne Rosenberg, Sandra, etc.) So glad you’re back, Paul and trust you’re feeling well and recovering well.
