The YouTube Algorithm decided I might like this old club/rave footage. There's a whole YT playlist of these "90's Ecstasy Clubland" vids, which are kinda fun to watch. N-Joi are probably best known for their hit Anthem, but some of their other stuff was overlooked more than it should have been, IMHO. Like the track in this video: Mindflux. [Looks like you have to 'Watch on YouTube' which makes my post look a bit crap!]
A slightly better quality upload of the audio can be found here:

I can only guess that Tundra was such a fan of the song that he felt the only to get it out of his system was to record his own version.
Does he improve on the original? Nope. Other than perhaps scratching his own personal "itch", I'm not sure he achieves much here. Although it does remind us that Kate did her own song perfectly well, thank you. It's not like Bob Dylan where he's got a crap voice and then other people come along and make his song sound better.
Kate's original always reminds me of the soppy Kevin Bacon film
She's Having A Baby. It wasn't a particularly good film but the song kinda stood out as a highlight.

Yes perhaps there is a similar electronic wig-out style that both tracks have in common. FLIAD seems to get the crowd bouncing, as I discovered when I last saw the Chems at a London park Festival in 2022. If you indeed decided to go see them in Birmingham, then that would literally be right now, as I type.
I've been looking for some cheap resale tix for the O2 tomorrow on Twickets/Stubhub, but no joy I'm afraid...

From their last properly good album. They certainly never denied the New Order influence. They name checked NO as an influence at The Brit Awards around that time and of course they got Bernard to remix one of their tracks a year or so back (as discussed in the Mella Dee, 'Riptide' thread) but the remix has yet to be released...
