I used to have an old compilation that I got from a second hand store. I think it was a free CD that had come with a techno music magazine and it opened up with the Underworld mix of that track. Because there was another Underworld mix and I have historically associated the riff that comes in in the breakdown of this version as being in the intro due to some judicious editing that was done on that compilation, it took me years to track down which version it was - I just knew it wasn't any of the three versions on the Renaissance Classics Sasha/Digweed compilation (they literally play three versions back to back at the start of the record). Except it was - they just only played about 2 minutes of it and skipped the part that was most identifiable from my recollections years after the fact.
Particularly as playing a track for only 2 minutes is extremely out of character for either Sasha or John Digweed, who were notorious for producing very long tracks and letting their mixes breathe. One DJ was even asked what working with Sasha on a set was like, and got the response "he usually just puts one of his own records on then goes to the bar"...
