Bizarrely, we never seem to have had an individual thread for this.

I was reminded of it on a recent TOTP 96 re-run. God, it's good.

 
Absolutely his best single

I still don't know if the Sonic anecdote is true or not

I'm sure I've mentioned it before but this is by far my favourite song of his and actually in my Top 10 songs of all time. The music does things to me I can't describe.

I also think it's one of the most mature things he's ever done. Known for his bombastic, overblown style (which he does very well), this benefits from being stripped back and restrained.

It had been years since I last heard this, so thanks @VoR !
Very beautiful song, absolutely!
I wouldn't call it his best, but definitely in the Top20.
 
I certainly don't dislike it - but find it a little pedestrian.
 
I do think it could benefit from actually being even more stripped back. Take out another element or two and it would be legitimately astonishing
