This new Orbital remix of 'Cafe Del Mar' is confusing the fuck out of me. It's basically a 'Greatest Hits' rework in the three acts. It starts with a twist on the Hybrid breaks mix, followed by a breakdown that sounds like Michael Woods' ambient take before the final (and best) part, slamming it into 4/4 territory, echoing the Kid Paul original. This could have been immense if they had built the entire track around that last section and made it triple the length so it had room to breathe. As it stands now, it's disjointed and far too rushed.
