Paul van Dyk Feat. Saint Etienne – Tell Me Why (The Riddle)

Anyone own this? I think the Club mix is not 5:53 but rather 4:42 as per the cover. I'm burning a disc of the above mixes right now, downloaded and the track time is 4:42. Also, this single in total weighs in at just over 39 minutes. Maybe it was subsequently edited to bring the total of some of these CD singles if above track listing to under 40 minutes as per chart regulation probably in place at the time in the UK. i.e. 40 minuters or less to be allowed in the UK singles chart

For those interested in the unique setting of the cover artwork & video, it was created by the interior designer Verner Panton.

Do a google image search for "verner panton visiona".

Very cool.

The only CD issue where you will find the tracks unmixed.

I was (and still am) confused as to why the other (UK / Europe / US) issues were mixed. Who wants to listen to variations on one track for 30 minutes?

It seemed excessive and pointless at the time, and with the rarity of this Avex release it's quite frustrating too.

In particular I want the Vandit Mix, which was actually featured on Paul's Out There And Back 2xCD album but to my dismay in re-edited form!

One of PVD's finest moments, and, in my opinion one of his last (he has had good releases after this one, but not quite as good). The main synthline, present on pretty much all the remixes gives a nostalgic and emotional effect. In my opinion, Original Mix is the greatest -- Paul gives it the most energy and and 'bang' out of all of them.
