BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

A. Front

“Together in Electric Dreams” is a song by the British singer and composer Philip Oakey, lead singer of the electronic band The Human League and Italian producer Giorgio Moroder. It was written by Oakey and Moroder and recorded for the original soundtrack of the 1984 film Electric Dreams.

It later formed part of the joint album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder, released in 1985. Released as a single in the UK in September 1984 it proved a major commercial success, actually eclipsing the original film it was intended to promote. It reached No.3 in the UK Singles Chart, staying in the charts for 13 weeks. In the US the single reached #20 on the Billboard dance chart.
