I have the first D-Train album called You're The One For Me which is brilliant all the way through.

Not sure which version of the title track you have on that compilation Tuomas but the album version has this slow introduction and seriously when it kicks in about 40 seconds it's one of my favourite bits in music I can think of.

I should track down some of the other albums at some point.

The album version of "You're the One for Me" is probably a bit different from the 12" version on the comp, or at least it's shorter.

I'll probably try to get the first album next, looks like the CD reissue has some interesting bonus tracks, including "D-Train Dub", which based on a Youtube listen sounds very cool.

I don't know a ton of their stuff -- discovered them years ago thanks to Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani talking them up, and have bought a few bits and bobs here and there. Last year I found "Keep On" at a flea market, which I adore -- the keys and chord changes are just unbelievable.

nine years pass...

you could delete all music from the 80s and just keep D Train and things still would be good

think we should recognise that d-train were adopting cloud-based solutions well ahead of the curve

mark s I was pretty much thinking that when I was listening to the You're the One For Me album a while ago

Also is it sacrilege for me to say this is my favourite version of Walk On By?

not to me!

(i am prepared to concede the original was also p great)
