Track Listing
Underworld – Dark & Long (Christian Smith Hypnotica Dub) – Tronic
Underworld- Dark & Long (Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Remix) – Tronic
Christian Smith’s biggest remix yet- the reworking of Underworld’s seminal ‘Dark & Long’. The sort of track that everyone has personal memories of. Remixing Dark & Long is a huge challenge. He definitely pulled through with The Tronic Treatment Remix, the only commercially viable of the two – preserves the vibe of the original perfectly while bringing a condensed yet slow burning feeling of tension that explodes into an epic break. It’s just perfect! The Hypnotica dub version underpins Karl Hydes classic vocal refrain and is a lot more melodic and minimal. It satisfies the craving but remains pretty much standard.
