I used to hate the Flowers version as Linn's vocals in the chorus sound raw and unfinished, thus, I had preferred the Cruel Summer version better. Now, all these years later, I actually prefer this one. I actually love hearing Linn in full without all the production attached to her voice!
This is the better version of the 2 I think! I like the European release of the album flowers more than its American version way more, songs like Dr. Sun and I Pray were too good to be cut it was a stupid move by their american label! But it was also nice to have the 2 different Album versions as someone says below!
This version is from the European release. It's longer and has a 70s feel to it. Their are 3 to 4 songs that sounded completely different from the USA album. I bought both (US & Euro) and I have to say I love them, it's like having a remix of your favorite song. If you really like AOB, I suggest you buy some of their Euro release... better mixes and more songs in the album.
Downloading is the reason for Ace of Base (and other artists) not having a publisher, Arista dropped AOB after their 3rd album here in the States. If you enjoy their music and looking for more to come, you need to purchase the singles/albums to ensure their future. It's a lot of peoples' hard work for 12 measley dollars.
Er... I'm pretty sure that's not entirely right... From what I understand, Ace of Base had a four-album contract, and after their Greatest Hits album, which was indeed their fourth album, the contract wasn't renewed... This was probably due to the fact they aren't nearly as popular as they used to be... Although I do agree you should just buy the album, or at least go to Spiralfrog or something...

The american version sounds more like a Motown song, that's the only song from that album that I like better.

AoB como muchos otros grupos y artistas europeos son demasiado para America, especialmente para los Norte americanos.
