newer version is definitely better. i really REAALY like the feel of this track. it's not an a-side but i am a huge fan of old school chicago style bassline hehehe. i would perhaps back off in places on the synthy pads, take them more up and down, just to give it more movement. they tend to stay on the same level for too long and that makes them a little boring. great potential though for a good solid album track or b side.
