ReStructure Mix Update (7/23/25): ”In Blue” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Data

Data is Frankie Boulter, Georg Kajanus, Henry Marsh, Phil Boulter and Simon Boswell - a synth-pop band from the early 80s. Their project from 1985 titled “Elegant Machinery” contained their track titled “In Blue” which is an alternative electronic sound. The track was featured on the Razormaid DJ subscription service and became a bit  of an underground/alternative piece for afterhours or club playlists. The shift during the early 80s full electronic productions had matured from the new-wave sound to a display of the intricate laying of this mechanism. “In Blue” literally paints sorrow in a somewhat whining delivery yet the operatic feel of these vocals holds a hypnotic effect. One of the 80s movements which would affect dance and pop music even today.

I have taken the 12” version of “In Blue” and rewired the patterns once again for this ReStructure Mix. A new intro and some looped segments recreate a new arrangement for this piece.
