BRM originally covered Throbbing Gristle's "Persuasion" with Electribe 101 for their second, unreleased album. She recorded this new version with Spooky and it became her first solo release (8/93), albeit co-credited to producers Spooky. The 2002 re-release (4/02) is credited to BRM only and includes one extra version.

The rhythm of the Original Mix is build from a sample of This Mortal Coil's Heart Of Glass.
It´s also used on and off again on the 7" Mix.referencing Persuasion (12", 33 ⅓ RPM, Promo) GRRR 58
One of the best Billie Ray Martin perfomances ever, both A-side mixes are legandary and the b-side mixes where excellent club mixes in the early nineties, but those downtempo mixes really stand the test of tme.referencing Persuasion (CD, Maxi-Single) GRRR58 CD
The combination of Billie Rae Martin and Spooky leads to an indelible act of PERSUASION, a track that’s as sultry as it is disturbing, opening with an almost industrial tone, perhaps a nod to the original by Throbbing Gristle. But it’s Martin’s vocals that hold a mysterious power. The remixes try their best to augment it, with D.O.P. adding a hip-hop beat, and his alter ego Chameleon offers a substantial house mix and a more tribal dub. But it’s the “SpookyBillie’s Ventriloquist Mix” that wins out, aided by the creeping synths and a throbbing bass, giving Martin’s voice room to roam and haunt your dreams (though the version that appeared on Trance Europe Express still wins, hands-down).

Persuade me anytime please!! Very well executed and original Throbbing Gristle Remix in typical nineties style with a hint of 80's beats of Madonna. The Original Mix is just perfect.

Top tune ! But unfortunately I do not find the fantastic "exclusive d.o.p. mix" on a record! Which release contains it? -regards to all-

OMFG, no comments??! The Original mix is one of the most amazingly lush, brooding, epic and gorgeous pieces of music these ears have EVER heard. And the slow, warbling TB-303 line towards the finale just tops off what is a stone cold classic. Why can't we go back to making records as incredible as this people?! Utterly ESSENTIAL.
