The original was a rather brilliant song, and electronic outfit Hercules & Love Affair offer their own take on it here. It’s very enjoyable too, with a more upbeat, positive spin based on bouncy samples, sharp percussion and uplifting vocal work that flips the vibe of the track almost entirely.

It still (somehow) maintains a hint of the relaxing feel in the original, most probably by not ‘over-producing’, which also helps project the vocals a little more. Very good remix, and a nice contrast to the original. A refreshing take on what is a difficult track to tackle, this is definitely worth a listen.
