@TjCox1993 the tune isnt just about energy its about soul of which this has plenty......now wash your ears out and listen to it on a proper soundsystem and im sure you'll hear that thing its apparently lacking
Still sounds good to this day, and I guarantee you if John Digweed played it, he'd get 2,000 people jumping up and down. 25 years on, this tunes truly deserves the tag #epic. When I go to my grave, this tune will still sound relevant.
Derrick May, you are the man. I owe you for so very many amazing times. If by some chance you ever read this, know that I love you, and that you have touched my life in a truly positive way with the music you have supplied to the party! Thank you from the deepest part of my being.
also. i have a really nice version of this that terrence parker did, its on a mix cd somewhere, i hope i can find it.
@heretotrollyou you're probably thinking of strings of life (daniel krivit re-edit). i used to love that version, but the original has so much more life and soul to my ear.
Nice. Choreography reminds me a lot of Lucinda Childs who did a lot of very hypnotic dance choreography/ collaborations with Phillip Glass, whose music could be considered a comparable forerunner to modern electronic music.
this choreography is done by Belgiums finest, probably best modern dance choreographer in the world: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. I liked the original Steve Reich track better on the original. Though Derrick May is also the shit.
Okay.. thats my choreography for Mr May's visit here in Aotearoa SORTED for tonight lol... L♫♥. VVVVVVV E THIS track /vid combo .. Thanks muchly Jicken

Moby or most house producers produce similar rhythms but with more energy, this is pretty simple, lacking something..
