the original was a track that i'd known for a while when i bought the cd-single. it was quite melancholic and it was something that you'd only hear from the hands of aggie frost & per martinsen. i think in it's original form sounds like newbeat rendition of an everything but the girl track. her vocal grabs your attention with it's melancholia and per martinsen will make you dance to it with his razorsharp acidhouse backing.
the single had a few remixes done and martinsen himself did an instrumental club mix as his mental overdrive moniker. cato canari channeled the underlining 80's vibe and went and did a remix that sounds like could have been released on hell's international deejay gigolo label. kompis did my other favourite version of this song which is a very moody piece that takes the tempo down a smidge and let the track embrace more of it's lovely steel guitar.
bård lessenel aka skatebård tweaked the original in a different direction and his version strips off the acid. which is very unlike me as someone who gets giddy by any sorts of resonant buzzing acidsound, i'm even a fan of tracks that as an obviously fake acid sound. i also get that kind of notion of amen drums but that has nothing to do with this.
he builds the track into the more atmospheric but still keeps it as dancefloor piece, starts out four on the floor but goes into a breakbeat in the middle of the first verse. it then starts to sound as moody electro and as much as i like acid & amens i'll have a piece of electro any day. the synth work is kept to the vibe of the track which means omnipresent pads, twinkly arpeggios and all sorts of somewhat spacey sounds.
love this track and all the versions, so get it and all of the remixes. they are well worth it.
