i like the e-smoove mix
In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Yeah, it was a bad cover version instead of a remix.

No it's not. There were plenty of good remixes from that time. I also really like the E SMoove 7" edit of "Liberation" - the REMIX that still includes Neil's vocal.

i was really disappointed with these remixes at the time, indeed most of the mixes from Very, apart from Can you forgive her?. Granted the e-smoove 12" is a good groove, but it has nothing at all to do with the original track.

However in retropect, i've listened to it once again today after I read this, and it's not terrible I guess.

Is a good song but what has it to do with Liberation by PSB?


The 7'' mix at least had some of the vocals.
The E-Smoove 7" Edit has Neil vocals, but...

1. The verses sound quite poor.
2. In chorus, the chord change fits better with female singer in E-Smoove Mix ("Free your soul", etc...), instead Neil's voice.
3. In chorus again, the word "Liberation" is slightly out of synch with music :roll: ...
(IMO)

So, between both mixes, I prefer, a little-little bit, the E-Smoove Mix. Only due to its last part (it's a easier chord change, but it's more interesting as a piece of music, IMO again...)

Really, I would like E-Smoove mixes had even less to do with PSB...
