(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have been collecting music since the age of 15. Everything from Industrial, Gothic, Synthpop, EBM, House, Trance, Shoegazer, Britpop..etc..It doesnt stop. If you are a collector of singles, imports, or 12inch versions of your favorite songs or artits, this is one to collect. Its a picture disc version of the 1st part of the single. floor. It is one of the best electronica/house songs I have ever heard and can move mountains on the dance floor. These days it seems that the female vocals have taken over most English house, as well as American trance, but this band brough a breath of fresh air to the top 40 billboards. Their self titled album is amazing. The first track off this single is the regular album version of 'Days Gone By'.
The second track, mixed by scumfrog gives an airy light trance feel, and the guitar work is a nice touch. Now, Oakenfold's mix on the third track reminds me alot of his work on the soundtrack 'Swordfish', a bit of breakbeat percussion, with dark overtones while still maintaining the integrity of the song. I have always trusted his mixes of songs, as he is one of the best out there."
