Oh My God! Karl Bartos' "Classic Mix" is just AMAZING. One of the most powerful updates of a classic electro tune, and now after all these years it too is in the canon of classic tunes.

There is a right old variety on here, and none of them is half bad; 808 turn in their usual quirky breaks, Eric Kupper's version is pretty straight-up 4/4 house with the original electro stylings overlaid, Magic Mike's has a funky hip-house style break and some scratching, while LFO's throbbing bleepy techno-trance version is the most radical rework and a very successful one.

The inclusion of the classic original version and bonus beats bumps up the appreciation level a bit too.
