      I'm looking for an extended (I think part dub) version of the Deep Dish mix of "Three Steps to Heaven". The standard Deep Dish of 3 Steps is around 9 minutes 20. I think this extended mix is a few minutes more, lots of atmospheric build up of percussion and texture over quite a long time before some of Marsh's singing. It was an experience in Buddhist like trance itself, and I need it! My MP3 player with it on went missing a long time ago. It may have been on the official Beloved website originally, but I can't find that site with tracks to download anymore.

      The standard Deep Dish and the album versions are very good, but can't replicate this actual piece of trance inducing music.
      Is this extended dub on any of the album versions, or a single or EP?

        I generally don't care for house music. X however, I find very appealing.

        Even though the structure is mostly typical pop (except Crystal Wave, an instrumental DJ journey), I find the sound very original and distinct. The lyrics are sentimental but somehow not sappy or annoying. Instead there is a sense of sincerity I credit to Jon's mellow, unforced vocal style. X is a notch darker than other Beloved albums.

        The atmospheric backdrop contributes immensely to each song. It makes me wish Jon Marsh would release an ambient album. Production quality is tops. It is enjoyable on any system, but the listening experience played loud through quality speakers justifies a substantial hi-fi budget.

        After more than a decade, I find X a durable favorite, enjoyable from start to finish.
