I remember when I first heard that early version at the end of XXV I was totally amazed - it sounded so exciting and fresh and different to anything Mike had done before. I particularly liked the male vocal part.

Then the album came out and it was different and the vocals had been completely changed... although I do love the album versions, there was something special about that early version, for me anyway.

That track is my all my time favourite MO track, as much as I love his early stuff and think he is better at the moody stuff than he is at dance music, that track rocked from the first moment I heard it.

I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day!

I found it very difficult to get used to that song on XXV, but I did like the male vocals (I usually prefer male vocals).
Hearing the album I was a bit disappointed that it had disappeared, but I still liked it and as a whole TB3 is brilliant! :)

Well... I never had a chance of properly listening to the XXV version before I got TBIII, so my ears got used to the later version, and, in comparison, the XXV one sounds strange to me. But the 'not-quite-early-mix' that someone did of it (with the male vocals) is quite cool, I must admit. :cool:

Sorry about dissing you like that, Wayfarer. I didn't remember you were the someone who did it. :D
