I must admit I haven’t given a thought about Billy Idol<\/strong> in many years. Teenage me remembers being introduced to the singer’s high-velocity punk rock tracks “White Wedding<\/strong>” and “Rebel Yell<\/strong>” during the 80s. Along with his spiked, peroxide hair-do, Billy was similarly a shock to the system. He didn’t conform to the emerging new wave scene with its pretty boys like Duran Duran<\/strong> or Depeche Mode<\/strong>, Idol’s infamous snarled lip and anti-pop aesthetic didn’t fit in. We were not ready for “Eyes Without a Face<\/strong>” a much softer synth-rock anthem from the singer. All at once, it wasn’t just the cool kids who were getting behind Idol, it was their mothers also, who suddenly switched on to the beguiling track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over thirty-five years later “Eyes Without a Face<\/strong>” still remains one of, if not the most beloved Billy Idol track of all time. Not least because of the iconic David Mallet<\/strong> directed music video. As you might expect of a track of this stature, it has seen it’s, fair-share of remix action. Although, the track has never sounded as chill as the latest official treatment from LA producer project Poolside<\/strong>. Noted for their daytime disco tracks, Poolside is the right choice for taking the track in a completely new direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
