"The Game of Seduction" (Soda Stereo)


Vocal track sung by Lene to "Juego de seducción" by Argentine band Soda Stereo. The backing track is the actual recording as released by Soda Stereo in 1985.
When Soda Stereo singer Gustavo Cerati came to visit England in 1986, he went to see Lene's musician friend Judge Smith (former member of the band Van der Graaf Generator), and eventually came to see Lene as well.
When Lene adapted the lyrics of this song to English at the band's request, her vocal track with the English lyrics was recorded in order to present a guide vocal.

Also circulating on the internet is a recording with Gustavo Cerati singing to the same backing track, using some of Lene's English lyrics adaption, while other parts of the lyrics are different because the band found that Lene did not include some of the ideas of the original Spanish recording.
English lyrics to another Soda Stereo song have been written by Judge Smith at the same occasion.

Lene's vocals recorded in early 1986.

unreleased; circulating on the internet

This version is not a new "mix" (as stated on the record), but a new recording (with no musical input from the original artists) for which all vocals have been taken from the original recording (as originally released on Rescue Version - video mix; see entry above).
