Agree with most of your choices here but the Hixxy remix of cloudy daze was poor, and also the f&s remix of shooting star wasn?t there best work. The brisk and Ham version on the other side was much better,
Just my opinion

I like the Hixxy remix because it has that proper early 2000s UK Hardcore vibe. That early UFO sound, which would then be emulated in tracks like 'Deep Inside' and 'Welcome'.
Brisk & Ham's 1999 remix of 'Shooting Star' was excellent, but I'm a sucker for the flip. That lovely intro arpeggio. It's not their best work, I agree, but it's my favourite out of the first four mixes that were made.

Thanks for clearing that up, Si.
When I eventually got around to hearing the hardlife version, it sounded like a watered down/un-polished version of the club kinetic one, hence the confusion.

I'm with you! All 4 mixes were 10/10 but the F&S mix was certainly the best.
Agree with Find A Way, too. Another one where the original is excellent but the (F&B) remix smashes it out of the park.

That's a cracking list, Mickey. I agree with all of those. I actually like the original 'Simply Electric' purely for the last breakdown, but the remix is far superior IMO. That intro piano is amazing.
