Britney / Giorgio Moroder - "Together in Electric Dreams"
Quote:
Moroder talks about his upcoming encounter and his collab with Britney. Moroder said:
"Britney actually came to me. She asked me if I was interested in doing an old song, which obviously I liked and I knew. She came to the studio and did it relatively fast and absolutely gave her special touch."
Back in the present day, Moroder made a point of complimenting Britney Spears’s nearly unadorned vocals on her still-unfinished contribution, a cover of a quirky, late-’80s novelty hit that Spears herself suggested. (Sorry, but Moroder asked that we not reveal the name of the song… yet.) “I listened a lot to her latest songs, which were all a little… the voice was a little mechanical — so many effects,” he says. “While on this one, she’s basically without… a little delay, but no effects, no nothing. So it sounds really natural.” Moroder plans to join Spears in the studio soon to finish the song
"Together in Electric Dreams" is a song by the British singer and composer Philip Oakey and Italian composer and producer Giorgio Moroder. It was written by Oakey and Moroder and recorded for the original soundtrack of the 1984 film Electric Dreams.
It later formed part of the joint album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder, released in 1985. Released as a single in the UK in September 1984 it proved a major commercial success, actually eclipsing the original film it was intended to promote. It reached No.3 in the UK Singles Chart, staying in the charts for 13 weeks. It would prove to be the only hit of the brief Oakey/Moroder partnership. It was finally released as a single in the United States in 1988.
