Olin: “Mirror Of Love”.

12 Jan 2012 — Henning Lahmann

According to Last.fm, Sandra is "one of Germany’s most popular singers in modern times". That might actually be true, still I'm kinda glad that I missed that era - though admittedly, this one's just timeless. Anyway, San Francisco synth wizard Olin (about whose rad self-titled EP we'd featured last summer) has covered another Sandra gem, the mostly forgotten 1986 hit single "Mirror Of Love", and somehow he managed to turn it into an even sultrier, sexier late night piece of pure seduction that sounds more mid-eighties than the original. A pretty compelling result if you ask me. Olin - Mirror Of Love
