"mystery" was something i discovered through radio as i remember that the swedish nrj stations used to play this an insane amount of times back in '97. it was a catchy track but the part you really remember was the gibberish(?) vocal part right at the start of the radio edit that launched right into the lead melody. it also featured a sung verse by some uncredited singer which ended in a "eeyeaeeoo" and all these three elements formed together "mystery of love"
as i found the cd-single a few years ago and then revisited the track i looked at the track in a different light, i still love it but i found the acidlines and other melodic parts more interesting. maurizio d'ambrosio aka mephisto created a set of versions of the song where i think the main versions with the sung would cater toward the kids and the italian progressive mix would be for the heads, for the lack of better terms. both included the gibberish vocal and the pitchbent hook but everything was structured differently.
it's definantly a piece of music that tells it's date by it's elements and i like it because of nostalgic reasons but i wouldn't hesitate to use it in a set. with right placement and in the right context it would work despite it's the hookline as the tune is driving.
