What's that? Some sort of new electric fence? Never have liked those things.... :nonono:

Is that the one that goes "Fate just took a wrong turn?"

One of the better mellow Electronic songs IMHO. Some of Barney's best lyrics.

absolutely agree w/Twist...and they left it off of TT for good reason...I don't think it would have meshed well with the album but is a great little son...

oddly enough, this song kind of reminds me of Sabotage...same kinda vibe with a rolling baseline that didn't fit with the album but a cool contrast anyway.

It's true that it's on the US version...

I think it's a shame it ended up as a B-Side because, although not fantastic, this is a good track.

Late At Night Promo. Thanks to Rocket Baldy for my copy of this track:thumb:

Cool and Mellow track, I agree it wouldnae quite have worked with TT, mind you - I'd have preferred it to Can't Find My Way Home:nod:

£15

RESULT.

I've never seen them anywhere, except for Baldy's house, and he had the security camera's on the record collection and his dog SHEP guarding the front door, so nae chance of me "borrowing" a copy:nonono:

I was just thinking this. I've heard it but am useless as naming any Electronic track bar the first album which was, and always will be, pure class.

But it's true Don - after the first album you could barely name 3 Electronic tracks that are remotely any good. Let us be thankful that Bernard got all the shite songs out of his system during this period (besides Slow Jam of course).

Indeed, check out all your live bootlegs, Don - Electronic never played anything off their 2nd and 3rd albums live! :laugh:

I beg to differ...

Forbidden City and Vivid maybe, rest are tosh. Just because Barney likes something doesn't make it good.....he claimed to be a Man Ure fan after all !

I take it an Electronic song won't be covered by Digital in the not too distant future.:D

Different Speeds Different Styles me ole fruitbat. Second Nature is probably ma favourite Electronic song, and some of their early extra cd track songs are crackers, Imitation Of Life and A New Religion are just a couple of examples of pure Barney magic. Obviously not everyone's gonna agree, but I was always the first to queue up at the shops for Electronic's release's:nod: They kept me sane in the non neworder years, and apart from a few disco dub songs that shouldnae have been allowed on RTP - Electronic have been a great getaway from the Order, without me feeling guilty:lol: Only bastard was that the cunts never gave the fans a proper chance to see em! (the 90/91 gigs are mostly to be forgotten)

I love it. I think it's a great track, really good lyrics, just vintage Sumner/Marr. And it's the one Electronic track that sounds like The Smiths.

Very good song indeed, as were many of their B-sides. I fully agree with the Shugster when he says that Electronic were a good surrogate during the non-order years. Even RTP has got some classic tracks, especially during the first half of the album.

By the way, I found the two "Late at Night" single CDs at Virgin Megastore in Paris, as if they had been officially released, although everybody seems to talk about a promotional only release.

They were recalled before being entered into the charts,so you've got a good find there :thumb: I found Twisted Tenderness Deluxe in the racks at a record store in Holland once - no mention of its rarity neither :D
