Norwegian disco master Prins Thomas kicks off proceedings with a sumptuous and velvety nu disco remix, full of cosmic yearnings as that Human League-esque bassline marches onwards. Ost & Kjex take the track into soulful house territory, adding swung percussion and rising organ stabs.
Argentinian Ana Helder really accentuates the electro-disco chug, turning out a remix that's somewhere between Lucia Ponti's "Dimi Bello" and New Order's "Blue Monday" - all with added cosmic electricity.
Mexican producer Mijo adds a slow techno touch, with intricate mechanization, churning grooves and fizzy textures throughout. Meanwhile Dirty Acid do as their name suggests and pour a highly corrosive and phlegmy concoction of 303s over the stems.
Amount takes us spiraling into the heavens via their remix - ascending arpeggios supplementing pulsating bass, echoed vox and simple drums for a deep late night hypnosis.
Finally, we get the original version by Acud in what can only be described as a bumper and essential pack and one of the best 12"s we've had in this year. TIP!
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Electro-disco heads don't wanna miss this one. I'm often left a bit disgrunted when you get a twelve with just one track remixed countless times (why not squeeze another track on there!?) - HOWEVER, in this case, it's totally justified, with all involved turning out brilliant, and varied remixes of this amazing slice of gnarly, cosmic EBM. Hard to pick a favourite but I'm loving the kaleidoscoping ascension of Amount's remix.TRACK LISTING
