Good value, mainly for the Bedrock fan

"Well you certainly get value here, as this EP clocks in over 70 minutes. The original title piece from Bedrock is surprisingly bland, a mid-tempo number that never really goes anywhere over twelve minutes. Many of the elements had potential, but the lack of beat variety and mimicked `Voices' parts just don't add up.Thankfully it packs 4 remixes, of varying styles, many which are currently springing up on compilations already. Moonface contributes a real sharp house piece, laying down a snappy beat that's a tight contrast with the melody and "Beautiful, strange" vocal. Other winners include Voyager's Platinum remix, a high energy progressive number, and POB's take on `Heaven Scent.' Rui Da Silva's goes higher tempo, twisting knobs and panning channels, but doesn't really draw you in. Saeed and Pelash have a quite skippable `Voices' version.So three keepers, three unremarkable tunes, one that doesn't work, at EP price it's a safe pickup for Bedrock/John Digweed fans but other trance enthusiasts would be better served picking up a DJ album."
