I saw Alfredo play Charlie by the Prodigy and Radio Babylon in Amnesia, so I’d like to think he’d have found a spot for this. ---

Have loved this one for a long time but it’s pretty much unknown i think? 80s b-side business from a group who were in that wave of bands that got signed in the wake of U2/Simple Minds’ commercial success. Anyhow the a-side is terrible stadium guitar music as is all the rest of their stuff (‘Big Music’ or whatever it was supposed to be called), but this one song is a one off experiment for the band, all slowly building atmospheric synths & clattering drum machines (is that a Linn drum? definitely a lot of dx7 going on), always makes me think of what Jan Hammer might have done if Miami Vice was set on the west coast of Ireland. Maybe not quite balearic but i could easily imagine this on a Music From Memory comp… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/dLIVqrybwBs/hqdefault.jpg "Zerra One - Connor Pass") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLIVqrybwBs) Zerra One - Connor Pass ---

Um [here’s an edit](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/x8eiogpt0asjnv1vpc6km/INXS-Suicide-Blonde-Apineto-Edit.wav?rlkey=v6wtcvbxoh54grhb9qgg34625&st=b9ooerbt&dl=0) where I kept the track and chopped him out… Top record though. ---

nice one Paul. ta! I only ever heard INXS played out very infrequently. I remember Dolan from Electric Minds playing a cool Need You Tonight edit at Visions once, which kept the riff but stripped out most of the vocal (never been able to trace it), and someone (maybe Bill or Leo Zero?) polarising opinion at Lowlife with Mystify which probably sounded a better idea on paper. ---

Hmm, I remembered it being slower, less vocal, but could be wrong… it certainly was around that time. Killer tune anyway ---

Had a vague recollection of a Chris Isaak edit that was big a while ago. Can’t for the life of me remember what it was. Any ideas?
