this one was introduced to me a few years ago and it was mainly
through being a fan of jonathan bäckelie who does the vocals on this
one. i think i'd heard one or two beanfield tracks before that but
wasn't that well invested in them.
but they were on
compost so i had a hunch in the sound and to be honest the original is
very much like that jazzanova/compost sound. it's a good song and it
lends itself to variations and permutations. this version by maurice
fulton works like an extension of the original.
it builds up this groove that's sort of boogie and robotic and it slowly but firmly introduces the chords and sounds of the original. right before it kicks into the main vocal and the jist of the song is this small break that's really effective and i like how it's executed.
fulton
uses a huge chunk of the track and tries to compliment it to make it
work on the dancefloor as the original is a lounge type track. it was
because of this one i started to take a closer listen to fulton's work
and his remixes and found that he is a great producer. well recommended

also well recommended is the funkstörung remix of "close to you"
which i found a few months ago through spotify. it seriously rivals the
fulton remix as the best version of the song and it's very funkstörung.
their version takes the guitar twanging and work it onto their type of
not quite electro.
it employs a fine bassline, a hefty chunk of audio tweaking and
general wonkyness. but i think they should have extended that bit in the
middle since it's one of the best parts of the track
