I've had the privilege of hearing the 'guitar version' of Radio Silence & I had the exact same feeling when I first heard it. It's wonderful getting to listen to something Thomas had done that I'd never heard before. The first time I played it I, too, got the same feelings I had when I was a teenager, listening to him at night in my blacked-out room til four o'clock in the morning. I don't have Wireless Wonders yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I love Thomas' voice in the guitar version, he's a bit easier to hear in this mix and it sounds very sexy! I also love the differences in the refrain "oh to paint her eyes so red, and her lips so blue"... after each line in this, there's a change in chord pattern & syncopation that feels like a little adrenaline kick. It's nice, because now I at least imagine I can hear this in the US album release version also, though it's behind a few other things & I couldn't pick it out before hearing the guitar version. > Listening to different an previously unknown version years later > stimulates > the same sensations that you have the first time you ever heard the > song. > Amazing, it's like going back in time and regaining that moment - just > for > that moment. Sonic time travel. yes! the only think more powerful is when encountering something I've smelled before. Smelling it again brings me instantly back to that very moment. (my friend wore a different new perfume each time she entered a country when she travelled in Europe years ago. She's never worn any of them again & has them saved.. she can 'travel' back to any of them in an instant now just by opening one of the perfumes again. Makes for a perfect, virtual 'memory book'!)
