Hybrid and BT were huuuuge influences to my taste in music growing up.

Paul Van Dyk's remix of the Saint Etienne song Tell Me Why (The Riddle) is sublime. I've been listening to this song for years and I've never tired of it. Paul's minimalist mix along with Sarah Cracknell's zen-like vocal weave a hypnotic spell over the listener.

The 12" vinyl single version of a Paul Van Dyk remix of Tell Me Why (The Riddle) first appeared in 1995 without any fanfare and promptly faded into oblivion.

Then in 2000, 5 minute 30 second remix of Tell Me Why (The Riddle) resurfaced on a collection of house and trance music titled Clubber's Guide to Ibiza 2000 and subsequently became a gigantic club hit. Since then, Paul has done 13 different remixes of the song and Tell Me Why (The Riddle) has appeared on around 30 different collections of electronic music over the years. The abbreviated 3 minute 48 second version which I've posted above is better than any of the longer versions.

Paul has an excellent channel on YouTube and he's uploaded 362 videos which include live performances, album cuts, remixes, and session tapes. The link is:

I am a big fan of St. Etienne but that remix didn't grab me at all. Ever heard of the German duo Kruder & Dorfmeister? They get a song and rip it to pieces and put it back together again brilliantly. This remix of the Lamb track is sublime. You really need a decent Hi Fi set up to appreciate it especially the songs last third:
