Echoing the opinions of the previous reviewers, I'd say that Bigod 20's cover of Madonna's "Like A Prayer" is the real reason for purchasing this single. If you like "On The Run" (and it is a worthwhile song), then try to uncover an out-of-print copy of the full length album "Steel Works!", because it's got "On The Run" plus other great songs, like their second claim to fame, "The Bog". The prolific remixes of "On The Run" on this single are fairly unoriginal and annoying after three of them in a row. "Tschirm Tschikwirk", the other non-album track, is just a lot of noise...

The "Like a Prayer" is club classic at its best. Scratchy vocals and a thumping beat give this song more life and speed than Madonna ever intended. However, do not forget the A side of this single "On The Run." The Starry clubbing and Turbo mixes are a great jump start to any Saturday night clubbing. The electro beats and speed of this song will get you going and your body moving. Highly recommended.

...I have been obsessed with the Lyke A Virgen single since I heard it all that tyme ago... ...And I finally found a place to purchase after many a soul told me it could not be done... ...I could care less for the On The Run Mixes... ...It's LAV that I'm after...

I must agree, the remix of "Like a prayer" is well worth the price. The other tracks are okay, but not as good as "Apotheosis" (is that even available anymore? It's awesome.)

This is one of those cd's that is impossible to find, most of the people i talked to said it was discontinued, but it is well worth the six bucks for the "Like a Prayer" cover alone. The rest of the cd is quality as well, but "Like a Prayer" is definately the high point.

This was the first peek at Bigod 20 that most of the mainstream saw. They have several remixes of the title track, "On the Run"; however none of these mixes have that stale redundancy that often brings down dance singles. The cover of "Like a Prayer" makes a great B-side. In my opinion, that is the best that song ever sounded
