Review by Dj_Daz_Willott Mar 14, 2012 (edited 2 months ago)

Although " IT Is What It Is" is my fave Deric May tune,this is a monster that went out of control.I remember it slipped though the net at first and didn't make big waves.I remember going to London with quite a few others from Stoke and the Manchester (in 1989) and this tune causing ecstatic mayhem.When we got back we all wanted to know what it was,and my friend Justin C saying it was an older track and after buying incorrectly buying Da Posses "Strings" pulling it out of my crates.By then it was everywhere and to this day is still the biggest most awesome Techno monster ever created.Beautiful,anthemic and so big it packs floors 25 years later.

In the release notes, it reads: "Strings Of Life (Remix)", or "Strings Of The Strings Of Life" first appeared, and featured additional production by Carl Craig & Derrick May. This mix was "unreleased" in the sense that it was new at the time and was never officially released on a single; only on compilations."

Does anyone have this??? I cannot find it anywhere on Discogs. I'd like to peep it out.

Someone posted a comment on the Mastercuts Classic House Volume 2 release that the version on that compilation is the Carl Craig-Derrick May colab, but it's clearly the Magic Juan remix.
