this isn't by far my favourite version of this track (that would be the mirco de govia remix) and i think it wasn't well received by most of us trancecrackers at the time. it did get some play by the people who were into the tribal prog thing but even then the version more looked at was the filterheadz remix.
i remember not getting a really big impression from the tune since it was like any other tribal technohouse type joint. the repeated "massive" vocal sample which wasn't in the original gave me a link to another remix that didn't use any parts of the original, the mauro picotto version of dj tiësto's "lethal industry". where picotto handed in a techno track with an occacional vocoded vocal sample saying, well you guess it.
d.ramirez approach to this track was to load in a heavy set of drums and let them do the working and they deliver. there is some other sounds used like some synth sounds but they are subtle and so are the uses from the original.
the overall misconception is that d.ramirez didn't use anything of the original since neither it's distinct bassline, melody or it's drumgroove are played as per usual. the bassline isn't present but elements from the melody appears and they are chopped up in a clever way.
it's these kind of thumpers that is fun to throw into techier sets for those choice subdued melodic stabs but also trancier sets where a heavy tribal groove does the job for buildups.
