This seminal Hardcore classic has already been remixed to death over the years,dunno why they want yet more remixes but it'll be interesting to see what people come up with anyway,i may even have a bash myself but id ensure the original isn't butchered and it would be breakbeats as well.:D

Looks pretty interesting alright, although the prize is quite meager. I've yet to hear a remix I prefer to the original though.

Aye, bloody terrible way to milk an extra bit of cash out of a tune before the remixes even go on sale...

Ashamed to admit it, but I don't think I've actually heard the original of this... Have a bootleg of it on vinyl somewhere (a horribly pressed 4 track job with TDV's remix of age of love on it)

i think its another case of not hearing it when it came out.it sounds pretty crap for people who are used to the polished sound of tracks today.
i know alot of the music i used to listen to hasnt dated well and having never heard this one until now i can safely include this one as i dont see what the fuss is about.

just another way for a dead label to try and claw some cash with a new set of remixes imo
