john-farnham-age-of-reason-kris-ko-re-rub
Many moons ago I played in a band called D-Ko, and we had a track called 'Positronic'. It was an innocent track with a crap name for an innocent time, but like many once innocent things it grew and prospered, and eventually became the much better, less innocent, but equally crappily named 'Golden Eyes'. Some people danced. Some cried. Some gurned. Most cultivated a studied indifference...
But back when it was 'Positronic', it sounded a hell of a lot like John Farnham's stirring 1988 call to arms 'Age Of Reason' (written by the Hunter brothers from Dragon and some other chick for the chinstrokers out there), and since 2004 (an innocent year if ever there was one) I've thought "I really should remix that tune." And after five years of deep introspection, I did. It goes a little something like this. And there's only one word for anyone not reaching for the lasers around the five minute mark - Un-Australian.
"Is kindness an ancient skill buried by our blindess?" Only Farnesy knows. That's why he's the voice...

Brilliant. Well done mate. I played in an electronica outfit around the same time as you called Kleinzeit. This track is fantastically done. Respect.

you've done a great job! they used to play this song at stratus - I have the 12" (only farnham I own, I swear!). I had a crush on the dj (was 17 or so) and he used to play the dance mix all the time so I bought it. I like the lyrics. he does have a good voice. would be interesting to hear someone else do the vocals for a new version too - not sure who though!
