Paul Oakenfold - Madagascar

Paul Oakenfold&&Mission&will feature 12 cover versions of some of his favourite trance records and it will be available in double CD and digital format. If ever there was a timeless vocal classic to cover it&"Touch Me" by Rui Da Silva and Cassandra Fox. Originally released in 2001 this was a number 1 hit in numerous countries around the world including the UK top 40. I adore this record. The lyrics and vocals are so perfect that when it came to make the cover version I knew two things had to happen -- firstly we had to try and get Cass to re-sing the vocals (part of the rules of making a cover means you can&use any audio from the original composition -- everything needs to be remade or replayed) and secondly I wanted this to be a really stripped back almost chill out track so that the vocals had loads of room to breathe and take center stage. I love how this turned out and I was so excited that Cass got really involved when she came in to re-sing her vocals. It&a completely fresh, exciting and emotionally charged take on the original record and I love it.
