Aside from Suneo Latino's self-titled debut single and Key Tronics Ensemble's 'Calypso of House', no track defined the Italian 'dream house' (or as they called it, ambient) house sound of the turn-of-the-90s as explicitly as Don Carlos' 'Alone'. Simply one of the finest and most loved-up house records of all time, it sounds as magical now as it did way back in 1991 - as this reissue proves. You get all three mixes from the original 12" in remastered form: the much-played 'Paradise Mix', a perfect blend of undulating acid bass, gorgeously dreamy chords, bouncy piano riffs and sax lines; the atmospheric, slowly building brilliance of the sublime 'Sax Ambient' version; and the organ-rich, woodwind-sporting Italo-house chunkiness of the 'Flute House Mix'. An all-time great that should be in every house head's collection.
