The Mission - TOS2020 (Trentemøller Remix)
The always reliable Trentemøller turns in an engaging remix of the 80s Gothic Rock classic Tower of Strength by The Mission as part of the TOS2020 charity campaign.
Organised by The Mission main man Wayne Hussey, the purpose of TOS2020 is to raise money for Covid-related charities worldwide:
When Covid-19 hit I started receiving messages asking ‘why don’t you re-issue Tower Of Strength for the front line workers?’ The song had apparently been adopted as an anthem by some NHS workers, and it got me thinking that I would like to contribute something to the greater cause at this unprecedented time and the only thing I could really contribute is music. So in conjunction with my good friend Michael Ciravolo, I came up with the idea of recording a new version of Tower Of Strength for charity by enlisting the help of musician friends and acquaintances.
Some of the friends and acquaintances include Andy Rourke, Billy Duffy, Gary Numan, Martin Gore and Midge Ure. A fine idea! Go and support it and help front line NHS workers.
