    This is one stunning piece of '80s synth pop with its sweeping orchestral instrumental breakdown. One to treasure and proudly grace any dance collection.

        Fabulous 12 Inch version of an already excellent song. The extra long "orchestral part" will get your blood pumping.
        The B-Side is also a gem, unfortunatly the other parts of the Nelson Highrise (which can be found on other singles) are not this good.
