right around 2004 i was suddenly more interested into the essential mixes and heard meat katie's which included his & christian j's remix of magnolia's "it's all vain" and i think it was either through it or by recommendation of a friend. it wasn't the most popular version of the song by far as i know dogzilla's rerub was doing it for the trance crowd and everyone else was focused on the steve angello remix. i don't think much of the former but i love the latter and it rates second best to this version.
it's a piece of driving breaks with a vicious bassline and i have banged this one out in my sets countless of times. the only thing used from nick ferrando's original is small parts of the vocal. the hardsell of "it's all vain" was the track with the cutup guitar and the lush piano break and a hook that owes to michael jackson's "man in the mirror". angello used the piano and the hook to great use and turned in a nice peaktime houser while this is more of a near peak-builder in a big room breaks set.
meat katie & christian j did base this off some previous productions, one of which i can't name for the life of me but i think it's "cusp", but it works really well. it's not completely spun off nick ferrando's original version but the more clubbier versions done innervisions. they feature some of the sounds and most notably the dirty rumbling bass that is the focal point of this remix. meat katie & christian j boiled it down to that and all the driving synthsounds are spun of them. the track oozes of energy and it's the force that is pushing the track forward, it's relentless and it makes your body move. in all of the right ways, as it should be.
