you probably don't know this, but it's a killer.
(the band later changed their name to underworld, and went on as a rock band, today rick and karl do electronic music, still named UNDERWORLD):
there are 2 12" mixes of riders in the night, the dub mix and the american club mix. can't decide which one is better. you can check the album version here, probably with the help of www.hidemyass.com:
