I love this CD. I find so often that when you want just one song and you buy the whole CD that you are often dissapointed, so I will often buy singles. Occassionally the same thing happens and you end up with a bunch of wierd mixes. This is one of the times that this is not the case. I love the mixes, the are perfect for people who want a little more than the original without all of the trancy dance stuff. The only thing I would like more of is Bryan Adams. His voice is not utilized as much as it could be. I wish this song would have been a bigger mainstream hit. Bryan Adams needs a comeback. Lets not forget how influential Summer Of 69 was and still is. Thats it. I reccommend this disk to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent single, probably won't get much play in the US., July 20, 2000

A massive hit single in Europe, Chicane's "Don't give up" is an excellent euro-dance tune with rather unreccognizable vocals from Bryan Adams. The song is upbeat yet at the same time relaxing and very "chill-out". It seems to be doing well in the clubs, but I doubt the US radio market will take to it the way they did over in Europe.

In regards to the remix version, it is done by Disco Citizens, which is simply another project by the man behind Chicane - they're the same person! So no remixer was attempting "steel" the spotlight from Chicane.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where are the VOCALS?, July 18, 2000

Once again, a remixer has taken a great song and turned in a mediocre mix. Sure, the beats are strong, but where are the freakin' vocals? Time after time, remixers seem to think their mix is the star of the show and not the artist (unless, of course, they're the artist to begin with! :-P). Please, DJs, leave in the vocals. This remix is nothing but a long instrumental. Not totally uninteresting, but not great, either.
