Yup, I picked a couple of the 12" up the other day.. all great trax.. i
hate to say that the coldcut remix is PHAT! really nicely done, slow
breakbeat acid jazzzy feel to it, it also has the original on the flip
side which is nice...the track picture side is a slammer...
also the william orbit mix is really sweet...
here i pegged this from resonance...
