wellthis cd is not available until January 18! So Ido not know why it is on here! But I have it on vinyl. Jonathon Peters turned this song OUT! This is my favorite song by AMBER! This is the best song on her new albm, which I recomend everyone buying! This song is beautiful and makes you shake it on the dance floor, or whereeer you are! BUY IT NOW!
this maxi single is the definitive club single ! all of the remixes are gr8, but.. the best one is the sal dano and brian k. hard dub (#8)...you must listen to this..as revieweed further down this page, it mixes orchestral sections and techno beats through the "dub"...it's unlike any dub i've ever heard! get this maxi single !

You have to get the import for the Thunderpuss mix.
Since I love Amber, I thought that being objective would be hard...but the fact is that these remixes don't fit the bill. Jonathan Peters mixes are very airy and without much "ummph." The Sal Dano mix seems a little too hard but has a great breakdown that makes the NYC boys scream at the Roxy. Great for Amber collectors but if you can get your hands on them...get the Thunderpuss 2000 mixes. Thunderpuss delivers another stunning set of remixes...hot on the trail of Sexual. Plasmic Honey also do an incredible dub mix that alas, was not released on the single. Basically, the single buying public were given a set of humdrum mixes that'll never see this single reach the top. Thank God for vinyl and the undying devotion of certain dj's and remixers.
Well not many things to say about this CDS. Previous reviewers told almost everything that you need to know: no Thunderpuss mixes on the CDS but i think Jonathan Peters, Sal Dano & Brian K., and even Berman Brothers Radio Mix (best radio mix on the CDS to me) are better. So i'd like to point out some things. The Jonathan Peters Sound Factory Mix sounds more like his CLUB mixes, not like the sound factory ones - i think he named it wrong - it's not hard or anything but with great intro (check out Debelah Morgan - Dance With Me Jonathan Peters Club Mix). The second thing that doesn't match in my opinion is the Jonathan Peters Velvet Mix - now thats not a mix but a DUB - and more like a Sound Factory Dub to me (almost no vocals and is really a fast hard track). The CDS is really worth buying even after so many years. I love it. If u still didn't buy the CDS buy it used. You won't be sorry.
