i heard this version a few years after hearing the asylum remix and that is the definite version of the song for all i care. ed case & carl h's remix does rate quite high as well and reasons being for that bassline. i think this version was done after the asylum remix became the smash that it was. this leads me to believe that a proper underground mix was something that was needed as the asylums remix was much smoother.
this remix sets shola amas vocals behind a sparse backdrop that consists of really punchy drums, a mother of a bassline and then two melodic parts and a choir pad of sorts. much of the track is just ama and the drums and bass, something that on a big system makes the difference. you have to get the elements down really fat as they are they domineering parts but the impact is like no other.
the key moment is when that it drops and you hear this massive murmur of a bassline that is playing the notes of the vocal melody. henceforth the solo parts with ama and the rhythms are nothing short of brilliant. her sweet voice and that menacing grumble, beauty and the bass. always going to be my favourite fairytale.
