This record should be called "This Ain't Acid." All three remixes by Les Adams pretty much completely strip this track of all the raw, dark, 303-driven power of the original, and what we're left with is just generic, forgettable house music.
Funny as it may seem, I only heard the original version some years after - and I have to confess it's simply amazing as well!
"This is acid!", "I'm gonna give you acid!" will stay on the minds of the fanatic clubbers of that time forever.
Big respect for you, Maurice.
