Felix (Don't you want me)

Tim Janssen · 31 January 2002, 11:43

Back in 1992 a British house-artist called Felix (who was actually Rollo from music-formation Faithless) scored a hit with a song called ‘Don’t you want me’. In this song a female voice is constantly singing the text ‘Don’t you want me, don’t you want my love’.
On the Amiga the video of this song was faithfully converted in a one-disc demo. It is exactly like the video with all the graphics and music appearing in it.

I have trouble finding this demo (which is simply called ‘Felix’ if I remember correctly) on the Internet. Does this demo ring a bell and/or does anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this demo certainly rings a bell, because it's one of my favourites. I still have it on a disk somewhere. I'll try to find it on the net, if it isn't on the net then I'll adf the disk for ya...

If you can dig that demo up I would be very, very grateful.

He Tim, I saw that my bro promised you the Felix Don't You Want Me demo... I actually don't know if you have it already...
Anyway, you can download the adf here:

Have fun...

To get round this in IE, just right click on the link and left click 'save target as...'

Yes, you're right Paul or when you are using a download manager it will work also...

@Mr Dig: thanks for pointing me to the Felix-demo at your site. Although this demo is very remiscent to the one I remember, it is not the right one.

The Felix-demo I have in mind has some (digitised?) stills from the video. I am confident it features a black ‘n’ white animation of a robotic leg which is stomping on some ground. Also, the female voice in the demo is singing the text: ‘Don’t you want me - don’t you want me - don’t you want my love’. which is also partly missing in the demo.

Some additional information: a couple of weeks ago a friend of mine contacted me by mail and he claims he still has a Felix-demo on floppy. Let’s hope it is the right one…

@Riempie: Have you had any luck finding the ‘right’ Felix-demo on the Net?

Riempie · 12 February 2002, 11:15

Sorry Tim, I had the same demo in mind my brother has given to you and I haven't found an other Felix demo so far

Hmmm, old thread that I just came across

"Felix - Don't You Want (Deconstruction Records)" is one of the first house tracks I ever heard. I have this on 12"

Never knew there was an Amiga demo... Anybody have this (and if so could you please upload to The Zone!)?

Not a demo, but a Protracker mod. When it is the correct song, i don't hear such a crap.

Thank you my friend but...

Really, it's only available as a Protracker mod???

I don't need any mod, like I said above I have the original 12" vinyl... Classic

I want the demo if it exists

Only another "Bum Bum Bum" track for me, very annoying crap from the 90s.

Bah .. You needed to hear it properly .. Banging outta some HUGE speakers at a rave or gathering. THEN it was fuckin awesome.

Retro-Nerd · 14 April 2007, 15:07

There is no proper way to hear this shitty Eurodance properly. I prefer AC/DC, when we are talking about hearing loud music.
