Solid Mixes of this Classic

"Back four or five years ago John Digweed put the original of this track on one of his "Renaissance" compilation. This track really stood out but I wondered if it would ever be repressed. Thanks to the Hooj Choons crowd it's now back with a vengeance!The Original starts off with the track's trademark string sample (which, by the way, is from a song by Genesis called "The Fountain of Salmacis") and some Indian guy talking about his approach to religion. This one to me is still the best...building up through the strings, the track becomes a trance monster.The Medway mix is by far the best of the remixes. This guy's a genius. It's deep, well composed house music.The Cass/Slide mix is more of a peak hour BOOM. Well made and it's got the same BPMs as the original making it a cinch to mix together. Finally, Quivver came up with a slightly dissappointing mix, utilizing key changes which place the original's strings in a cheesy mode. It's OK, but the other mixes shadow it. For good stuff by Quivver check Stoneproof's "Everything's Not You"Anyway...buy this track...it's a classic worth every pennyLet's hope that Hooj brings out Pete Lazonby's other classic Wavespeech as well...especially the Junior Vasquez mix!!"
