Hey! Giorgio Moroder is one of the masters of electronic music so I’m a very big fan of his stuff including his solo work, his work with Donna Summer and everything else! Chase is one of my all time favorite tracks. It’s the theme track to the film Midnight Express. I always thought that was such an odd combo with Giorgio Moroder doing the soundtrack to Midnight Express but it worked. Well the music really works for me. When I heard this very upbeat version of Chase by DuOud in very Middle Eastern/Arab style I was like this should have been the version in Midnight Express!!
Anyway this version rocks! Check it out as both version are below for you to download and compare. Obviously the Giorgio Moroder version is very 70s disco and the DuOud version is well a remake with the very Middle Eastern instruments including the Oud which the band DuOud takes their name from. Worth the download!
Chase is off of the album Wild Serenade. It’s chock full of Arab and Middle Eastern world beats. If you are a fan of this type of music then it’s definitely an album worth having in your collection.
