It opens with a subtle attack of brass before adding a chunky drum pattern, some stabbed keys and a nice bassline. One of the few remaining elements from the original is the ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba vocal line and it's a sumptuous stew of deep, dubby house with a latin twist and one of my favourite Heller/Farley productions.
The original's not bad, one of a handful of singles that former Frazier Chorus man Chris Taplin made with singer Vanessa Quinones before she flew solo as Espiritu and had a hit with a cover of 'Always Something There To Remind Me'.
Being on Heavenly, they had access to some top remix talent. Andrew Weatherall turned in some mixes on their 'Conquistador' single and this extended mix is a dreamy swirl of influences. It sits comfortably alongside contemporaries like Flowered Up and Saint Etienne's forays onto the post-Second Summer of Love dancefloor.
