Yes! The tune just longs for a good sparse screaming Hammond :)

I jammed a bit along Jason Jones' mix (the one with drums) with setBfree
but it didn't work out. Eventually Dave's bassline was driving me mad..
The bass isn't really walking and too much otherwise for my taste.

Wow, thanks. Coming from you that means a lot to me.

Actually it was you who inspired me: I would not have dared to rip
Dave's song apart until I heard your '4 to da floor mix'. Then it was:
What the heck, let's get this souled-out and join the cover/remix fun.

I grabbed the ardour-session from Thorsten and started removing things..
eventually only the vocals were left - they're marvelous a Capella! In
fact they don't really need anything else!

Then I imagined Dave lazily holding on to an upright bass while
singing... That stuck.

ciao,
robin

PS. IMHO your 4TTF mix could use am even more prominent bass [drum]. The
current one isn't doing the digestion for me.
