Well, sorry for being « that guy » but – although i didn't study the
arrangement carefully –, this « vaguewave »version doesn't sound much of a
breakthrough to me.
I mean most, if not all of the italo-dance 45's b-sides were actually
instrumental versions, this Valerie Dore single
<

exception.
If you aim to vaporwave yourself, Den Harrow's « Future Brain »
<
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaa-_-aC0uc>, is another italo-favorite –
although not as classy maybe !
As a kid, i often used to prefer the b-sides over the a-ones and, much
later, often wondered whether the Franck de Wulf's « B-Sides » alias was
named after that !
