Track: Last Rhythm (Vocal Extended)

Artist: Last Rhythm (ft. Silvie Carter)

Year: 1991

Label: American Records

Last Rhythm was an Italian collective headed by DJ Giulio Benedetti.  His debut self-titled track was a blissful instrumental with strong ambient qualities and a memorable synth breakdown at the midpoint.  The song was especially popular in the UK and a favorite of Sasha and Asterix & Space's pirate radio show.  Here's the original:

Remixes were issued the following year featuring the vocals of Silvie Carter.  The Vocal Extended mix is the best of the bunch.  Aside from the rich vocals, this track has a more uptempo vibe than the original and includes some nice piano licks.  Old school purists may have a preference, but in my book you can't go wrong with either version.  Here's the Vocal Extended mix:
