Completly disagree with the other reviewers all slating the remixes, the Dj Framic mix of this track its the best version by a country mile! ok the original is good but that repeated "get ready to go" sounds so cheesey/cringeworthy and in 2018 so dated and something youd associate with the makina jocks up North, The Framic mix is nothing short of a blissful masterpiece, the way the riff is teased into the bassline is brilliant, its a lot more uplifting which i prefer. This was the preferred mix by djs Mark EG & M-Zone (features on their epic 3hour set @ Space in 1999) and by Kenny Sharp (plays this on his Uprising 1998 mix) and im not one to doubt their judgement!!

The DJ Framic remix is the only one worth noting here. It doesn't beat out the original, but it delivers a sound more typical to the trance that was being released in 98. Cocooma's remix is musically alright, but ends up suffering due to cheap production quality. Gary D & Dr Z's remix does the original no favors and ultimately ends up sounding lazy, which is strange since the original Initialize is a track that would have been right down Gary D's alley at the time.

This remix package does the original no favours at all, with the Gary D. and DR. Z re-hash coming at the bottom of the pile. I don't know what they were on when they produced this but they've somehow managed to turn 'Initialize' into an alternative theme tune for the TV show 'Blind Date'. Fog Area were obviously trying to cash in on a particurlarly popular track, but ended up with a release that seriously dents the credibility of the label.
