The original of Santessa is a very nice, mellow trip hop cut that features
some rapping. There is also a fantastic downtempo 4 Hero remix of one of
their tunes on the promo 12" of the single.

I highly recommend this track as well! I first heard Ron Trent play it and I
fell in love with it.. Beautiful deep vocals. 13 or so minutes long..
