When I heard the intro of this song at BIT live, I was like Oh, no, not ANOTHER Lightforce remix!
(There are almost 50 of them in RKO as of this writing, not to mention the various album versions.)
But you know what: this is really great arrangement! It has just enough edginess to it to make it unique (even though it's not fully Slaygonized
). It's also more uptempo than the original, so there's a sense of urgency to it, driven by a simple, but effective rhythm section. And that long outro is just something else: the way it decomposes the song to oblivion is superb.
