Esta no es una simple canción fue un himno de fin de milenio para todos los que la escuchamos en aquel ya lejano 1999, encierra un mensaje, es mas que una canción, es una obra maestra

@Arc.hitectureMusic

this song means so much to me. As a musician it was my first introduction to analog synths, and got me into making music. It literally changed every preconception i had of music. 1999 was one hell of a year. every other year since hasnt compared to the creative output of that year, at least in my lifetime.

@twiztidyournutz

Put it upside down & backwards

@SyndicateOperative

Yeah, analogue synths blow my mind. It's a true art form.

@Arc.hitectureMusic

@@SyndicateOperative I was way over enthusiastic 13 years ago. I blame this track for getting into analog synths.

@joeflynn2830

this album was pure magic

@ThunderChunky101

This is absolutely a contender for Best Music Video of All Time in my books. Excellent concept. Subjectively interpretable. Sidesteps expectations. Works with the music so well. Beautifully executed.

@mauropacheco938

Uno de los clásicos de The Chemical Brothers e insuperable Bernard Sumner en los vocales, invitado de lujo!!

@ernesto1978

y puede ser que tambien participa Johnny Marr en guitarra?
