Trivia/Info

  • The main difference between this version and the album version is that this one begins with a fade-in on a drum part and Linnell's saxophone is much more prominent. Also, like the Don't Let's Start (Single Mix), this mix contains less space between instruments and more reverb than its album counterpart. The high-pitched laughter at the end of the bridge has been removed completely, and Flans' vocal is also heavily echoed in places, most noticeable during his laugh near the end of the song.
