I hope this has been mentioned before. Kate's Project Wuthering Eights COL CD59 1. Interface club mix 6:00 2. Tendenthial mix 4:30 3. Kate's (deep beat) 2:20 It's produced by DiscoMagic (Italy), (who if I recall correctly are responsible for the horrendous "dance" mix of the theme from "Twin Peaks"). It's been released down under by Colossal Records, an australian company that blossomed up during the house music years. I have only heard about 2 mins of each track so far...I just bought it hot off the shelves...so forgive me if I can't go to much into the mixes. Anyway, as you can guess it is a dance version of "Wuthering Heights", (where the 'H' went from the title, I don't know - maybe it's a play on the silent 'H' ?) On first listen the vocals sound pretty close to Kate's. One of my initial thoughts was that it would be her vocals from either of her two versions with a fast drum beat behind it. As it turns out, it is actually a female with very similar vocals. In fact, what signalled to me that it was a different vocalist was a glitch in the lyrics somewhere. The first mix is a standard dance mix at approx. 145bpm with vocal snatches inbetween the actual lyrics. The second starts off with an acid house analog synth bubbly sounds then starts into the song. Presumably this'll be the radfio-friendly version. The third track is just the beat - hence no songwriting credits to Kate. A quick summing up gives this the thumbs up for those that have really wanted to work up a sweat to a Kate track...
