i definitely found two copies (purchased 1)...the midas touch remix was really unexpected. eh' i was just expecting something else. i'm not COMPLETELY hating.

the first play was just kind of a funny moment....that's all. i come in peace.

seriously, this is one of my favorite pieces of music anywhere

in fact that whole boot is great and i'd take one off your hands if you don't want it

I understand where eddiex is coming from here. When I first heard this track I was like wtf?! Those vocals are pretty cheesy compared to the usual BoC sound/aesthetic. The original Midnight Star track is a massive slice of 80s pop/soul/funk cheese (haha that video is soooo baaad!). But it's a grower for sure, and when you get past those vocals and listen to the BoC in it, it's amazing. I love the syth pads, classic BoC. It's definitely one of their most club orientated tracks.

i'm going to hold on to my copy...unless you want to trade your vinyl copy of MHTRTC, GEOGADDI or TCH for it

no, i saw a couple of copies on ebay though, for $25.00 (us) and 1 copy for about $80.00

exactly....just not what i expected
and i liked KORONA a lot. i haven't actually listened to side b yet. i figured i needed to digest what this record was about before i continued.

I am still waiting for the Hell Interface remix of Whitney Houston's How Will I know Mike mentioned here. Midas Touch is already God-tier. I can't imagine what they did to How Will I Know.

heh, I wonder what you'll think of the first track of side B

im going to listen to it right now!!

side b<side a....imo
i have the version where side b are the TRAPPED remixes. side b i think, the long version of trapped...i love how that starts, the beat....pretty sick.

which record store you find these in?

one of their finest tracks. Dunno how someone could dislike it

Midas touch is fucking amazing. 1 of their best works for sure.

^I used to skip it every time because of some horrible remixes that have been released post Boards remix, but yeah it's a grower.. I don't mind it now, but Trapped was dope from day 1.
