REISSUE: "If You Weren't Afraid" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Giorgio

 


From the innovative project from Giorgio Moroder - "E=Mc2" in 1979. "If You Weren't Afraid" is from the side A medley and closes out the set. The eerie yet uplifting feel of the song has always been the lure for me.

It fit into many of his past productions with Donna Summer - "Working The Midnight Shift", "Now I Need You", "I Feel Love", etc to blend the electronic edge and experimentation with melody and disco beats.

This ReStructure mix takes the original track and adds a few new drums and percussion riffs - to create a dub-like extended mix. Those rolling drum effects from the original always reminded me of the Ennio Morricone western soundtracks - sundown and a showdown!
