ReStructure Mix Update (3/18/24):”Happy Together” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Terms Of Surrender

 


Terms Of Surrender is a studio group from 1983 and produced by Mark Berry. “Happy Together” is their beat-box cover of The Turtles 1967 rock classic and down with layers and layers of syndrums and reverberations. The eerie feel of this cover is enough to place it in that early morning music/sleaze category that was so alive in the mid and late 80’s. The vocals are haunting also as they echo throughout this arrangement and give off a new feel far from the original. This one was always a favorite of mine since it covers that morning mood and also transpires a classic into a left field style and very well. This cut was featured on Disconet’s Volume 5 Program 12 Issue.

I have taken the Disconet mix of Terms Of Surrender’s “Happy Together” and worked it in another new way for this ReStructure Mix. The moody sound of those keyboards gave me inspiration to use a classic disco number from Donna Summer and that sequencer weaving a moog bass from “Working The Midnight Shift” – keeping this one underground and rare.
