I've just listened to it all the way through, and I love it.
It's definitely an original take on it.
It softens out the main rather frantic melody, whilst you can still obviously hear what it is (unlike one of the Tyas efforts which basically removes the main melody altogether).
The acidy stuff at the start, at first I didn't like, but now I do. It kinda sets you up for the big main section.
It's a "big room" version for sure. Combines hard dance sounds and yet is very trancey.

Absolutely stirling work.

you know, i don't think i have ever heard the k-series version - but really want to because you hold in high regard, and if i may say, you have an impeccable taste in music

When I think back to the sort of music I was listening to in 1994, tunes like Pizzaman - Sex on the streets, De'Lacy - Hideaway, Living Joy - Dreamer etc etc, if someone had played me Lost In Love I wouldn't have known what to do with it!
The recall it came out on the reactivate 9 (or 10 compilation) about that time. Used to blast it out in the car all the time. First time I actually heard Legend B was in a massive rave with 4000 + people and oakey dropped it circa 1996. Bloody amazing!!
Too true about it being ahead of it's time. I still love that tune

It was Reactivate 10 - I remember it because the CD I bought was unmixed.

You should bung a copy over to Jimothy Wild. This is his favourite tune.
