This track is a masterpiece. This track is a masterpiece.

I like the Svek remix, in many cases that is my last track...it's soft, groovy and deep!

I've never seen a repress so close to the original ! Everything is at the exact same place, even the email addresses that probably fell into disuse a while ago. The problem is that consequently they are almost impossible to tell apart from the original. But since they used the original metalworks that's not really a problem.
The tracks, of course, are fantastic, but that's a given.

This any good? Any idea who remixed it?
Any clips? Thanks :D

This was such a huuge tune for me back in 2000 .... Already made big with "Laurent Garnier" in versions, blah, blah, blah ... The real club version for me was this "The Man With The Red Face (Jan Driver 'Long Distance Mix')" .... Assum !! ... Find it !!!!

This track as commercial as it may have been is still one of the most soulful techno tracks I own. The way the melody moves you, the usage of the horn section and jazzy hooks lifts you up to the clouds above, total bliss. Le meilleur producteur électronique dans toute la France, Merci!

Laurent Garnier's _The Man with the Red Face_ got plenty of playtime when it first came out, and there's no disputing why: the deep techno with just a hint of jazz keeps things moving on the floor without becoming just a mindless drumtrack. Stephen Greider and Jesper Dahlback from Svek (may it rest in peace) go for more of a deep house touch with their mix, while Funk D'Void from Soma puts in some atmospheric breaks. Three nice tracks.

One of my "Big 5" favourite dance tracks. Officially a Techno track, but a tune that has a great amount of cross-over potential, having seen the track in House/Prog/Techno/Tech-House sets. I'm torn between the Original & Jan Driver mixes over what is the better mix, I've been leaning towards the original recently.

As previously noted, LG apparantly didn't/doesn't like the Driver mix, but in truth both are very similar in structure. The Jan Driver mix is possibly a touch more dance-floor friendly, but could do with being a bit longer IMHO.

To see the best version of the track, you have to see him live where he will rework/remix the track live stretching the experience to close to quarter of an hour. I've seen him do this in the UK and on the terrace at Space in Ibiza which was special.

One confession. My TMWTRF vinyl is my most prized vinyl as I had it signed by the man himself. He was really good about it when I saw him in Bristol. Bit train-spottery I guess, but as this has been such an important tune for me in my clubbing,mixing,dance music time his "Merci, Much Respect" message means a lot.
