This is and always will be huge and powerful, no doubt, one of the biggest electronic tracks in the universe, haha, they should play this at schools for children, if they want to teach them something about the music of the 20th century.
But i would not call this Trance at all, but have no problem to see it here in the classic's.
Maybe the most trancy version is from Santoshi
I also always loved the more ambient 'Dumb Child Of Q Mix'

FSOL being a trance classic shows how borderless and openminded trance was back in the days. Tracks like these would simply be impossible nowadays because they would get lost in genre wars.
Personally I love the Marco V remix the most. Guess the V man influenced me a lot when I discovered trance at first.

Iirc the original Papua New Guinea borrows heavily from other tracks. The vocal sample is taken from Dead Can Dance - Dawn of the Iconoclast [1987], and the bass is from Meat Beat Manifesto - Radio Babylon [1990]. More details can be found in the wiki article.
In any case, Papua New Guinea is an example of great music architecture, much like the great trip hop tracks that also pulled from multiple other original productions to create something entirely new.
