A perfect remix,completely rewires the original and invents a new genre in the process,for is this not one of the earliest examples of ambient jungle? The orignal was a classic,one of my personal faves,that tuneful deep bassline always gets you. Who would have thought the remix could be even more uplifting? This record has a touch that is so light,so delicate - yet never wishy washy in a way that say someone from the Good looking label would have made it. The effect is to quote Simon Reynolds 'one of the most far out alien slices of artcore'. Must be amongst shadows most worthy releases (it all went rather down hill after that eh? rather bukemesque!),and sadly Foul plays last good record.

The Omni Trio mix of Music is the Key is a hardcore gem that has this killer vocal breakdown- the lyrics are cheesy but for a second you really believe this girl when she's singing about wishing there was world peace, when she throws her head back with a beautiful flourish that, for a second, really gets you.
