The initial idea behind this remix was to give an "ethnic" feeling to the tune 4 of The Human Race.
Then it developed in a tune with reminiscences from Jarre and Enigma.

I find the Enigma loop very hypnotizing, so it's featured in the track. Hate or love it, it's here to stay and imho it fits perfectly to the tune.

I Agree with RK; some important bendings are missing. But, i never met any flute player able to make them, and seeing the "half-acoustic" style of the track i chosed to stay real.

The remix has a really big flaw i noticed only yesterday: but unless anyone discover it, i'll keep my mouth shut.

Shouts

Dan shouts:

WHOA! A stunner from DHS, when the bass and drums kicked in it took me to bliss...

Waz shouts:

Pretty good, a cross between Zoolook and Enigma's "Sadness Part 2". The lead is stunningly nice as well. Not quite a red smiley for me, but very nice all the same.

Skitz shouts:

It just proves that DHS can make more than just UNZ! This is lovely!

floaf shouts:

This is REALLY nice!

romeo_knight shouts:

This is great work! But I can't give the highest rating cos there are missing some important bendings in the lead melody. And I think I already heard this drumloop too often. Awesome though.

c64glen shouts:

DHS covers Hubbard like no one else can....

infamous shouts:

Proof that DHS aint a one trick pony.. This is a MUST have.. Wonderful tune

devilhood shouts:

Generally has a nice feel, very chilled, I agree with Romeo's comment on the drums.

lefrog shouts:

Well arranged, but a little bit to 'tame' for me

vosla shouts:

STUNNING!!! But those hating Enigma won't love this one.

weasel shouts:

Really kicking style here!! Really reminds of enigma-melodics... Haha!! The drum-style and all that! ;-) Funny... But still fitting the original SID here, too! So it's working well and deserves a definite 'outstanding' from me as well! :-D

condor shouts:

You have started with Enigma like drums, Jarre's like voices, and style of Deep Forest. Awesome!!!

eliot shouts:

Yes, yes, yes - another all-time favourite for me :-) And PLEASE remix much more C-64 tunes!;-)

jsl shouts:

Excelent mix!

lolicon shouts:

FANTASTIC!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!

vhold shouts:

Wow. The unorthodox elements work so well and really give this a totally unique character.

lagerfeldt shouts:

Sadeness.. Dit moi...

esg shouts:

I love this song and the two musician too!

hispeed shouts:

An enigmaish layed back voyage into sound.. One of my faves of your tunes really :)

ms shouts:

Does remind me to my version made professional :-)

hbasm shouts:

Capitalises too much from the famous Enigma rhythm (they stole it too, I believe... ) but otherwise good.

liontamer shouts:

I agree, a true stunner of a mix. I liked it initially, but the texture really grows on you over time. Very hot work.

cyphax shouts:

My goodness this sounds good! Fabulous piece of work!

LaLa shouts:

F--ing awesome! I'm in total awe! (And that doesn't happen very often. ) The beginning reminds me of Deep Forest - same great ethnic feeling.

load_error shouts:

Splendid work, atmospheric, emotional, solid... And the ENIGMA basis rocks!!!

boessu shouts:

This one has a unbelievable quality. Great work.

vert1 shouts:

Win!

moog shouts:

That's my type!:)

humorguy shouts:

In a different class. Like Mr. Brown and just one or two others not in the charts.

madrigal shouts:

DHS sei un grandissimo! Spero non ti stancherai mai di regalarci queste perle!;)

aricz shouts:

Mmmmmmm, smooooooth and beeeeautiful! Soothing stuff, yummie:)

omoroca shouts:

Overrated but not bad!

ggeudraco shouts:

I enjoy it, but fail to differentiate it from the other Human Race remixes. Needs to be unique without using the 'uh-uh' sound... Maybe its too subtle for me.

tEiS shouts:

Very well done. Rob Hubbard meets Enigma!! ... Pretty ace, mate.. Pretty ace!!

bigtabs shouts:

Shivers!

prq shouts:

Beautiful melody, beautiful voices.

From start I expected to be something more new, but al in all it is very good remix

Ziphoid shouts:

Still, after all these years - this is simply beautiful!

Dumper shouts:

I gave this an orange before, but hearing it quite a bit lately I now feel it deserves a nice big red one.

inqisit0r shouts:

Dont like the uhuhuuuuuh in the background, not totally original, sounds familiar, other than that its ok

Amok shouts:

Still great but I think its overrated and I prefer DJ Mitch´s version... Finally I cant resist it... :D

NecroPolo shouts:

Excellent rendition. No more, no less.

DaManiac72 shouts:

Brilliant. You should be very proud.

truebaba shouts:

Sorry, the meaning of this song is not coming out. For me the best is "Maccie Pimp-Me-Up Mix " your solution's drums and bacground voices very very best... But no motivation. Sorry.

Ishma shouts:

Excellent!!!

Fhood shouts:

Very good enigma-rythm remix!

aker shouts:

Great, delectable music!

An almost marvelous track from DHS although it is already quite far off the original tune. This has definitely already got one of my all time favourites.
