Venerable English ambient/acidhousemeisters undergo a lush Chicago diva-house transformation thanks to the astute remixing hand of Mike "Hitman" Wilson. He fills the track with glorious grand-piano lines and pushes the pre-existing flourish of gospel choir vocals to the forefront of the arrangement. Oozing with peak-hour drama, this one could propel the act back to the top of the dance heap.

ANOTHER throbbing dance delight. 808 State, crafty buggers, know that minimal is magnificent, and so stretch their one idea here over a lithe and lovely beat embellished with only the sparsest lyrics, thus leaving your mind scope to roam and race as freely as your feet. 808 may be veterans but they are still among the wiliest dance politicians extant.
