I know what you mean when you say that the first version you hear kinda sticks with you, but I'm going to have to disagree with the 'Formulaic' comment regarding the Hardfloor remix. I personally rate that as quality remix, and a million times better than Higher State (Although a clever track). It was always going to end up in more commercial circles, but this doesn't detract from the fact that it is a excellently produced track, by imo the masters of the modern 303 sound.

With you on that one - yeah Hardfloor took the easy way out on remixes on the back of this one (blue monday anyone?) but this rocked. Got to admit tho, the original came out when I was only twelve. By the time of the remixthe chant had been ingrained in my psyche cos it was so different. Not even sure how, but then again I recall tracks like "Voyage, Voyage" by Desirez. Must have been switched on to the Ibicenco vibe in rainy Bury, as a non-pill poppin twelve year old, but the Hardfloor mix was a snapshot from the time I cained it, so can't vote for anything else!

Hardfloor mix for me all the way. A great breakdown and an all round epic mix. In fact, when I think back its hard to to think of any mixes they did that were'nt massive from then.

A classic old tune with a stomping remix. Quality!
