"Tracklist & times: 1.radio mix 3:35 2.pvd club mix 7:30 3.happy people in the morning mix 7:44 4.vandit club mix 7:15 5.pvd angeled club mix 6.tweaker mix 6:18.This is one HUGE dancefloor HIT!!! German duo Jam & Spoon have created an absolutely storming anthem that should dominate dancefloors world-wide over the rest of the year! "Angel, can you see the sunshine, on you today, do you feel this way? Angel, isn't a fine time, love is here today, just a kiss away" Tripping on the current trend of using rock vocalists for dance tracks, J&S have employed the vocal talents of Rea, Frontman for English-speaking German rock band Reamonn. AND if you thought Chicane did good with Bryan Adams on the hit "Don't give up", then just wait till you hear this! The lyrics, dreamy and romantic (written by Nosie Katzmann), float over the ever gorgeous (breakbeat-like) J&S beats, a calming, latin-like guitar loop and cinematic synth sounds. If "Right in the night" got under your skin, then prepare to be taken all over again! The strings at the end -and that vocal glitch as rea sings "Just a kiss away" just takes your breath away.German Wunder-DJ-Remixer Paul Van Dyk leads the remix work with an absolutely blinding vocal club mix -using those fantastic, speedy, hard beats that always knock club kids into a frenzy! The vandit club mix is more of an instrumental dub -suppressing the vocals but treating the dancefloor to the heavy-hitting beats under Perfecto-like synth sounds and the wonderful guitar loop. The angeled club mix is more of the same. Definitely for all club freaks who fell for PVD's "We are alive" or Grace's "Not over yet".J&S's own club mix is not as hard-hitting; coming across as almost alternative. Again, the vocals are withdrawn. The guitar loop gets cut up inbetween restrained techno beats and trance sounds and a female vocal lights up now and again with "there should be ecstacy" = definitely a German Club mix! Wackside finish up with a slower, House mix for the Glamour Kids. A funky disco workout using old school horns and strings. It's all good but the original radio mix is sublime; you won't be able to stop playing it! If you like this >> then you'll like ATB's "Let U GO" and Sylver's vocal trance hit "Turn the tide" which have also taken Germany by storm. Vorsprung Durch Tanzen! Surrender now!"
Beautiful
