"Feel Every Beat" was the third single by the English band Electronic. It was released in the UK on 9 September 1991 (see 1991 in music) by Factory Records and was a modest commercial success.

Composition

The A-side is a combination of rock and house music, and is a favourite of both the two members Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner. ["Q", August 2001] Marr began an early version of "Feel Every Beat" with the intention of releasing it on a solo album. ["Q", September 2007] Sumner's lyrics are about the criminalisation of rave culture in Britain. ["Melody Maker", 13 April 1991]

The two B-sides, "Lean to the Inside" (an instrumental that used sampled drums from the ABC song "Fear of the World") and "Second to None," are regarded by fans as two of their best single tracks, although they have not featured on any other releases.

Artwork

The single was packaged by 3a, and featured a contemporary design with stars and a minimalist colour scheme, which differed subtly from format to format. The shapes are based on the DX coding of 35mm film canisters. ["FAC461 Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album" (2006)] In Australia the front and back covers were switched, with Donald Christie's portrait of Marr and Sumner used more prominently with the star-motif above it.

Formats

The single was released on vinyl, CD and cassette in Britain, and as 12" and CD maxi singles in the United States. These two formats included exclusive remixes by Dave Shaw which were not issued anywhere else; the "Downstairs Dub" mix has never been released on CD.

Music video

A music video for the song was directed by Peter Scammell. [mvdbase.com ( [http://www.mvdbase.com/video.php?id=9610 link] )] This was later edited when the single was released. There is also a remixed version by the music video subscription service Rockamerica.

Live

"Feel Every Beat" was first played live at The Haçienda in January 1991. ["Melody Maker", 19 January 1991] Parts of Danny Rampling's 12" remix were used for live versions that August and December. A performance from the Cities in the Park festival in Manchester was released on video in November 1991. [worldinmotion.net ( [http://www.worldinmotion.net/electronic/videography.htm link] )]
