The classic mixes combined with the new ones, Sasha's long-awaited mix being the highlight of this release. A long, very long percussive intro for over two minutes before all is silenced for the vocals, completely effected, getting dropped in with finally a beat. Soon the elements start adding up: from the bassline to a trancy melody. After a while everything is silenced again for a dark bass pad followed by the second part of the vocals, also effected to the max. Things continue building up from there in the same succession of the first buildup. What I didn't like about this remix is that it took away the darkness of the original, and its main melody, but if you look at it apart it's surely a decent piece of work. Armand's remix is pure House, maintaining the original melody, and strangely adding some church bells to the breakdown... and the original Monster Mix is preserved as is, making this a decent House CDM to buy.
