I agree on most parts there but i happen to like Marc Mitchell's view on the track even if it is a rather "meeh" effort compared to his other works. I'll say a few words of the mixes too, excluding the edits:
Original Mix (6:22)
- too bad this real original version never surfaced, it sounds a bit dated (of what i remember) but it was the source on what Kid Paul & Cosmic Baby based their own remakes
Cosmic Baby's Impression (6:45)
- pretty hard pumping version from Harald, loses a bit of the beauty of the track even if it has the main elements there
Kid Paul Mix (7:16)
- the one closest to original with subtle changes here and there and much smoother than Cosmic Baby's version; sadly only Solar Stone used the moody elements from this one with what they start their remix
Peace Mix (7:13)
- Kid Paul's alternate version; pretty minimal and much faster bpm than his "selftitled" mix
Porte de Bagnolet Mix (5:53)
- Ralf Hildenbeutel (aka 1/2 of Cygnus X & Sven Väth's co-producer) did a great job on this one; more haunting type remix with an almost euro dancey style kick & feel.
Ivan Remix (8:06)
- Oliver Lieb's harder and darker take on the track under his Ivan alias, uses some easily recognizable elements from his other mixes so it isn't THAT much different from them
Josh Abraham's Down Under Remix (7:03)
- a mix to puke on, we can only wonder why did the aussie even bothered to do this mix
Oliver Lieb's LSG Remix/Mix 1 (7:44)
- quality work from Oliver, great solid trancer with a hypnotic kick
Oliver Lieb Mix 2 (7:30)
- very subtle changes made to his main remix in the usual Lieb style (similar style changes than what he did with Love Stimulation remixes)
Solar Stone Remix (8:37)
- a rather disappointing effort from the dynamic duo, i guess they tried too much to make a more uplifting mix without succeeding on it
Three'n'One Remix (8:43)
- the version lots of people falsely think is the original, this has a huge buildup which everyone should know by now; i find this mix pretty boring
Universal State Of Mind Mix (7:15)
- Marc Mitchell could have done so much better, an epic Sunday Club remix might have been amazing
Hybrid's Time Traveller Remix (6:36)
- a fine little breaks trip which is quite different from the other mixes, not as huge buildup nor piano in the main melody; i like this
Nalin & Kane Remix (9:42)
- Nalin & Kane did a moody slowly building remix which r0x0rZ my b0x0rZ every time i hear it; my fav version
Deepsky's Stateside Cannon Remix (7:35)
- IMO one of the worst Deepsky remixes, lacks of about everything interesting they have in their other works
Pure Nova & DJ Eyal Project Remix (7:50)
- generic yet pumping version; nothing original here
Humate Ambient Remix (7:07)
- other of the ambient mixes of this track, this has more elements and is slightly faster than the following Michael Woods remix; perhaps the more interesting one out of the two
Michael Woods Ambient Mix (10:25)
- loooooong and slowly building ambient version, very similar in style to his Accadia - Into The Dawn (Accadia Ambient Mix); also one of my fav mixes
John "00" Fleming Remix (10:07)
- uses elements from the Michael Woods mix and overall nicely rolling version even if it isn't too interesting
Marco V Remix/Cafe Del Marco (8:34)
- typical Marco V, lots of addictive energy; lacks of originality tho, doesn't bring anything new to the track
Three'n'One Update (8:55)
- some subtle changes and additions been done to their '97 remix, pretty worthless update IMO
Justin F Remix (7:04)
- simply crappy mix
Kid Loops Remix (7:39)
- very very similar to Kid Loops mix of L.S.G. - Netherworld
Kenny Hayes Remix
- when will he stop rehashing with the classics.. already ruined Carte Blanche and now this...
Neo & Barbwire Remake
- typical boring supersaw take on the track; totally worthless
Fragma - Man In The Moon (cheesy vocal remake of Cafe Del Mar)
- why oh why did Ramon Zenker need to add vocals to Cafe Del Mar and ruin it?
