One of the greatest tracks ever and remix to boot!!!


One of my all time favourite tracks. The Bruce Hornsby original was brilliant enough, but this BiR remix from 1996, just takes it to another level.
Put simply it is a truly stunning piece of dance music production and as close to perfection as you'll get for a club remix. It clocks in at 11 mins 44 sec, but every second is heaven
Absolutely bloody awesome.
It's not widely known that the actual artist is Chameleon (on this version) and vocals are by Tom Blaize and not Bruce Hornsby, but hey there is absolutely no mistaking the fantastic remixers.
This is pure heaven.
Enjoy people!!!

    I didn't knew this remix... the intro is epic and all the instrumentation is in a pure BIR syle... I really love the Steve's bright piano sound.

    Hi Dancing Boy,
    Glad you like the track, one of my all time faves.
    I've only ever been aware of one BiR remix to this track and that;s the one posted. Keen to hear the other version if you have it?
    Cheers, PCC

    PCC, Infact this track isn't the "The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby. This is from Chameleon which featured Tom Blaize on vocals. See: http://www.discogs.com/Chameleon-The-Way-It-Is/release/249470 I f you listen the original and this after that you will hear the difference. Maybe someone will know better the story of this remake? Maybe there was something similar as in BIR's Peace & Harmony with Whitney Houston's vocals?

    Repe, You are exactly right bud
    I stand corrected.
    Funny isn't it, I just alsways presumed that there was only a Bruce Hornsby version.
    If you've got the BiR remix of the Bruce Hornsby version, I'd be keen to have a link.
    Cheers buddy,
    Regards, PCC
