Every Time I See You, I Go Wild!
Brainstorm
Journey Into The Light, 1978
This is “great covers installment #2″(see below) and as I said in this post from last year, I think people shouldn’t cover songs unless they are going to do a completely different version or out-perform the original. This is a cover of a Stevie Wonder song that I posted a year ago (almost to the day). Brainstorm take Stevie’s almost frantic take on the song and slow it down from 117 to 100 beats per minute and change the whole vibe of the song to something much more lusty. They basically change the meaning of “go wild” from “you make me feel unstable” to “let’s get a room.”
Brainstorm were a funky-disco group from Detroit that put out three albums in the late 70’s but never got much commercial recognition although I do think they got significant club play. This mp3 is from vinyl but it looks like this album has been reissued on CD, in fact Dusty Groove is illegally selling promo-only copies for $7.99!
