The Mo'Wax remixes are pretty good. There are 7 different versions on the cd
version, the original plus 2 other versions by Carl Craig, a 4 Hero version,
one by Claude Young, one by Kirk Degiorgio, and one by Peshay. It does seem a
bit extreme to have 6 remixes but they are all different enough from the
original to maintain your interest. BTW apparently Photek turned down doing a
remix because he didn't think he could make a better version than the
original.
The best remix though in my opinion is the Jazz mix, just brilliant. I
believe that the drumming is done by Sun Ra's drummer!!

Another Carl Craig fan :)
Don't dismiss techno outta hand 'cos there's such a diversity of material out
there. Anything that continues to expand the boundaries is alright in my
book.....
