On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Aiko Choi -- University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory "They will send a copy in my place."
