   Interesting mix, but it makes you wonder "why bother?"  It's not terribly different from the original, and it's not as good of a mix.  The vocal compression has a very modern sound, which I'm not crazy about.

	I think the 3:38 dj edit version of Is This Love also appeared on a TM century disc. I don't have the disc anymore but I do have a lossless rip from the disc and matched it up with the promo 45 (Geffen Records ‎– 7- 28233-DJ). It is almost the same. Edited by promojunkie

	For all practical purposes, yes, that's the promo edit on TM's library. Their edit point in the intro is off by one beat, but you'd never know unless doing a close A/B with the promo 45. The edit is on the downbeat (first beat of the measure) at 0:08.

	Good catch Aaron. I wondered if the TM Century was a vinyl 45 master or a re-create as the fade is slightly longer and it seems pitched slightly faster (to my ears) If you recreate the edit using the LP version and precise edit and fade points of the vinyl 45, it does not match up perfectly with tm's edit Edited by promojunkie
