Violence Of Summer (Love’s Taking Over) (Rock Mix) – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1990

“Violence of Summer (Love’s Taking Over)” is a song by English new wave band Duran Duran, the first single from their sixth studio album, Liberty (1990). Having finished the 1980s with the Decade singles compilation, Duran Duran found the 1990s a new challenge, in which success would initially elude them. The lukewarm success of “Violence of Summer” would shadow the band for the next few years until 1993’s “Ordinary World” returned them to chart success. The single reached number two in Italy but fared poorly in other countries, reaching number 20 in the United Kingdom and number 64 in the United States.

The B-side, “Throb”, is an ambient instrumental remix of Liberty album track “My Antarctica”. The use of a remixed album track would be repeated with the inclusion of “Water Babies”, a remix of “All Along the Water” on the “Serious” single.
