Those familiar with Leftfield's classic album Leftism, will find that the original 'Song Of Life' featured here, and the version featured on the Leftism album are much different. The original 'Song Of Life' (circa 1992) is upbeat, with a chunky bouncing bassline, heavy helpings of funk, dub, and of course, those yearning chants. The Leftism mix on the other hand, is downtempo during the first portion of the song, and sounds very similar to the Fanfare Of Life mix featured on this release. Also of note, the two versions of the original mix featured here are edits. The original mix featured on the vinyl release is in excess of 9 minutes long, where as the extended mix featured here is almost 30 seconds shorter.
