I never really liked these to be honest. Both are a bit weak with empty parts, and there are specific sounds and notes that I don’t like. Gotta pick the Cygnus X Remix as it added that famous melody.

Ferry fixed the issues for me in his remix. So I’ll go with that. But that’s also not one of Ferry’s best ones for me. A fun happy classic, not overly exciting though.

You are weird ;)

Edit: I actually know what you mean though, so fair enough.

The thread missed a letter… but the song is named Madagascar. :)
Nah, take a look at Discogs. I thought it was a mistake too, but the first release is indeed Madagasga, it was even printed like that. So it's either a mistake by the artist/label or it was intentional for whatever reason.

I used to prefer the Ferry mix a long while ago, however I've grown to love the original mix more over the years, due to its more hypnotic nature and that distinctive Simon Berry sound design. Cygnus X mix ain't half bad either.

Cyngnus X remix is classy, Ferry is the anthemic hands in air clubbers tune to get the smiles going. For home listening it’s Cygnus every day of the week, unless it’s wind down time and then switch to Woods.

Has their been a better chill trance producer than Woods. There are literally zero chill trance producers left now.
