A riveting remix release of this classic gospel garage tune. The groove now sports a UK-garage two-step influence, bringing it more up to date with dance floor trends. The vocals are thankfully left intact, just as the immaculately inspiring original Basement Boys production. The "Hump Mix" has less of an emphasis on vocals (though the word "Sunday" must be repeated over 100 times!), allowing the mellow organ sound to chill you out. On side two, the "Sunday Dub" is more soulful, but lacks a rhythms section for the first three and a half minutes, and the "Sunday Nile Beatz" is just a time filler really. However, the "Main Mix" is so good that you can happily ignore the rest of the record.
