Torch Song - “Prepare To Energize (12” Version)” from single of same name.
Before William Orbit became a known name later in the 80s, he was one half of Torch Song, the other half being Laurie Mayer. If you remember the 1984 movie Bachelor Party’s infamous donkey-on-drugs scene, this song is somewhat familiar. A much tamer, shorter version of this song was used for that scene.
This is the 12” version, which is mixed much more for the club scene than for the background. The bizarro electro-noise sounds that begin the track and start up at the 3:00 minute mark are quite ahead of their time.
Torch Song are still around today, now featuring former member of The Lines and known remixer and producer Rico Conning.
