Can anyone really find the slightest fault with this track?
If you're too young to appreciate this, imagine a time when ecstasy had just hit the big time, early 1990s, Sasha drops this tune in a smokey warehouse somewhere on a Manchester industrial estate.....
Everyone looks round at each other and smiles. There is no other place in the universe anyone wants to be.............
Every time I hear this tune I get a lump in my throat at the 3 minute mark......

Thank you for reminding me that I missed out on my favorite period of music.

The scene hadn't even been considered by that time in Australia. You were all still dancing around the billabong to Men At Work.
I think the house scene evolved from early to mid 80s in the USA, then it jumped the ocean and the USA and UK evolved in two different directions. The USA as I recall, seemed to progress down the route of soulful house, influenced by the likes of Frankie Knuckles and the like, whereas the UK's scene was pioneered by the young Carl Coxs, Sashas and Oakenfolds. It took a more chemical direction than in the USA too.
The UK was where it was at for the majority of the late 80s and most of the 90s.
Get this!

Great tune!
Thanks for reminding me about this song. I had only really heard this on the Renaissance Mix Collection CD, and never really appreciated it because everything on the album was excellent. Now with the song singled out, I can really appreciate it. I've been listening to it all morning.
EDIT: The second song really reminds me of early Prodigy. I don't know which came first though.

nice tune

This is the version from the Renaissance Mix Collection. It's actually the Simple Dub Mix followed by the Boys Own Mix. On the full Boys Own Mix that awesome bassline doesn't come in until a few minutes into the track, where as the Dub Mix has it all the way through. A simple piece of genius from S&D.

It was ing amazing hearing this tune for the first time on the S
&D Renaissance mixes. Classic progressive house at it's finest.

If rhythm's a drug, I'm hooked on you...
There are few more classic opening lines than this one in the whole of EDM. Classic early 90's, brings to mind: dancing, having fun, being carefree...

Funny, I love the song but I always thought that was a hilariously mixed metaphor.
