I Feel Love (Extended 12” maxi-single)

From Will Hermes’ Love Goes to Buildings on Fire:

As unprecedented as [Kraftwerk’s] “Trans-Europe Express,” it became just as essential, an elctronic dance music template. Blondie covered it live, fairly faithfully, with Chris Stein adding Santana-style guitar licks. After hearing it in Berlin, Brian Eno rushed into the studio where he and David Bowie were working on Heroes, waving a copy of the record, raving that it would change the sound of club music “for the next fifteen year” (Eno was fond of grand statements). One can imagine the record spinning while the two Philip Glass fans listened to its hypnotic repetitions, the sonic possibilities blooming in their minds like flowers in a stop-motion film. (239)
