Right rite. my favorite ol' school remix right now since ive played the two back to back are, Extascy passion & pain's "touch and go" tom moulton mix. So amazing the way he put his own spin on that one. yeh those guys used to make edits for themselves, like for thier own sets/performances. which is badass! I think Theo does a good job of putting his own touch on the ugly edits series. Im sure theres been tons of debates over those the past few years. Ant
