Electronic is a project from Bernard Sumner (Joy Division, New Order) and Johnny Marr (The Smiths) from the early 90’s. “Getting Away With It” is their first single from 1989 and holds a mirror to music created by Pet Shop Boys but with their personal stamp raising the excitement. This piece is one of the most beautiful of this genre of post disco done in full on electronic arrangement but complete with swirling strings and crescendos. Its message is that knocks on the head and caught in a loop of unsuccessful romantic situations. It plays out with a touching manner as the beautiful music seems to drown out the sorrow into a morning dance. One of the marks on the dance floor of its time and also now an underground classic.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Getting Away With It” and have taken it into a more stirring ReStructure Mix. I have used more of the break bass into an intro and worked the lyrics and verses around this.
