SEGUE SONGS PART 7 or 8 or something....
[1982]
Ok we're back to segue songs and here's one, well two, that I wasn't aware of as being integral to each other. I mean I know Eye In The Sky from the radio when I was 10. I didn't have the album though so I only realised it had an interlinked tune attached to it recently. Of course you have to get the album to experience the Sirius/Eye Of The Sky conjoined twins experience and once you've heard it like that it's wrong to hear one without the other ever again.
This now goes into the Space Debris Segue Songs Hall of Fame along with other great tunes joined at the hip as previously mentioned like I'm Your Boogie Man/Keep It Comin' Love from KC & The Sunshine Band, Donna Summer's I Need You/Working The Midnight Shift, INXS' Face The Change/Burn For You, Palace Of Brine/Letter From Memphis by The Pixies and The Pale Saints' Sight Of You/Time Thief. I'm sure there's a million more.
I was thinking you never hear this anywhere anymore in Australia but apparently in America the future synthwave sound of Sirius is well known because it is used a lot at professional and college sporting events and has subsequently been used in many ads and movies.
The Eye In The Sky single did not chart in Britain but guess what despite only making it to number 22 here down under it was unsurprisingly a number 1 in Canadia.
