"After spending nearly two decades doing more guitar oriented stuff that was a huge departure from his Ultravox sound, Midge Ure lends his angelic voice to a track by the group X-Perience, whose female vocalist sounds very much like Madonna in her Ray of Light period. The track listing on amazon is wrong. This is actually a 5 track single with 4 mixes of Personal Heaven and 1 mix of a track called fireworks by x-perience WITHOUT Midge Ure.
Of the 4 mixes of Personal Heaven, in which Midge and the female lead vocalist duet to beautiful effect, the trancy "promise remix" is the most gorgeous, with swirling synths that add depth and harmony to the vocals. The original radio edit is more of a down tempo track, and the desert dream edit and desert dream long version are both midtempo, with a sort of an early new order/joy division guitar sound. All 4 mixes are unique and must haves if you are a Midge Ure fan."
