"Don't Turn Away" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Thomas Dolby


"Don't Turn Away" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Thomas Dolby

Thomas Dolby is a name which stood out following his big dance floor hit "She Blinded Me With Science" in 1982. It was a new take on the electronic pop-wave of the period. His work included artist Ofra Haza, Adele Bertei, Magic's Wand and also the soundtrack to the 1987 film, "Gothic".

"Don't Turn Away" is a song from the soundtrack of "Howard The Duck" from 1986 - also featuring his project Dolby's Cube. The album version was always one of my favorite ways to start out the evening. It has a wonderful bass line and melodic feel. One of Thomas Dolby's most lovely pieces. It also features Steve Wonder on harmonica.

I have taken the album version of "Don't Turn Away" and created a ReStructure Mix with a new intro and a few breaks. The song was featured as a longer 12" version with a vocal by Lea Thompson which is nice although Dolby's is much more fitting for me.
