Giorgio Moroder dominated the late 70s and early 80s an innovation creator of dance music with a life of its own. His contribution to the 1984 film “Electric Dreams” is a simple example of his continuing play with keyboards and sequencers in a way which evokes the early 80s dance platform. “The Duel” is from the soundtrack and before you dismiss it as being simple or elementary you must understand the meaning of it in the film which is the early technology boom of computers verses classic instruments – in this case a cello. It is Moroder playing with not only the soundtrack end (which also includes his classic title them sung by Philip Oakley) but also pairing his music with visuals.
I have taken the album version of “The Duel” and created a ReStructure Mix with a new intro and some play on the flowing sound of strings and keyboards over a bouncy bass 80s beat. It offers a longer play and also a bit of fun with the mind of Moroder.
