It's about "bloody time" DD n GM got together.
I met GM about 5 years ago in a downtown city hotel and had him sign my Midnight Express soundtrack LP and Daft Punk's RAMs album too, which he kindly did so.
What a cool dude, even at his age, he never shook my hand but we fist bumped or bro fist'ed, whatever it's referred to these days.
Anyway like many, my first introduction to him was this song
and even tho at the age of approx 7 years old, I had a much older brother listening to it and hence you can imagine my teenage brother and his mates who would be umm-img n arr-img over whether Donna actually experienced an orgasm in the studio or not?
and indeed this was way before I even knew what the word orgasm meant.
Later Donna released this which IMO was just as cool n awfully frivolous.
Circa 78 or 79 I heard "the chase" (from the midnight express soundtrack) for the first time and in its own way it changed my taste literally towards disco electronica.
To the extent where from 81 onward, it would reverberate in various ways via DD and others too.
The phase strings for one are the basis of what Nick R was doing in much of the early DD period.
All very sound scape-y and again very early DD sounding.
This is the original version and for its time I'm sure those familiar with it will agree that it's an innovation indeed unlike we had heard at the time.
I mean there was the organic rhythmic disco stuff that CHIC Nile/Bernard were doing (which was great) but this was radically different in its own right.
One has to ask, what the early synth DD sound may have been if it were not for Giorgio M ?
