I totally forgot to post about the remixes - too bad they never saw the light of day on a commercial CD single or even on the radio... That would have been pretty cool. But they're both lovely remixes that really maintain the flavour of the original (I can't stand remixes that completely mess around with the basic structure and sound/feel of the original and leave it virtually unrecognizable - I mean, that can work in some instances, but when the source material is strong, I find it's better to re-interpret rather than rework completely)... - - Tab.
