Heard a few thoughts on Republica's Ready to Go

 

Someone outside is listening to a playlist of numerous versions of Republica' Ready to Go. 

That person also heavily comments everything, so the only times you can hear the music is when the chorus kicks in. That dude is listening to it as if it is hallowed. 

Here's what I have found out from the comments:

- the original version sounds as if KLF decided to seduce Toni Basil with the prospect of collaborating with Sparks during their wilderness years. Because it is unknowable. 

- The song's arrangement is at dissonance with its genre and that's why it sounds special.

- Sometimes he thinks that the american mix sounds like The Smiths if they gave the drummer some and embraced madchester. But that's a fleeting feeling. 

- Usually he thinks the compression is too overwhelming, but that might be because of the emotional impact the song has.

- also, the american mix is the better one because house grooves and rock guitars have that particular effervescent kink that generates the indelibility of the groove by doing double exposure and deepening the sonic texture, so that it feels more propulsive. 

Also - I'm very tired.
