the discovery of this song definitely was when i got my big jon carter/monkey mafia kick and i really don't know if i had really listened to "miracle" prior to it. it was probably in the consciousness following the big success of "you're not alone" but i remember hearing "outlaw" more than "miracle". post that phase i had heard some hubbub about deep dish's remix but in terms of straight up house mixes i prefered murk's funky green remix from the re-release of "miracle".
i have mentioned this before but prior to ableton and it's effective and qualitative timestretching mechanisms you have would have problems with a vocal from the tempo of 75-85 bpm. that is if one planning a house remix and you would have to pick the route that sounds the best. murk picked the slower route for their full vocal mix and it's quite audible that something has been altered. deep dish didn't do a full vocal mix because of this and the only full vocal remixes came from roni size and monkey mafia.
what both of them have in common is that the tempos was less problematic for working but i still take doc scott's techstep meets atmospheric drum & bass remix of that. carter's version is also built on atmosphere but it's only the intro as once the drums hit those sort of sweeping synthetic or metallic sounds become a part of the soundscape. jon carter's take on hip-hop isn't that much different from say liam howlett and this one is definitely for someone who likes the prodigy's "poison".
