Overall impression: excellent. This is one of 2 singles from the wonderful "Love's Secret Domain" album (the other being "Windowpane"). The Snow is a beautiful, dance friendly song with a wonderful keyboard solo dancing about the beat. "Driftmix" and "Out in the Cold" are fairly straightforward re-workings by Peter Christopherson. The two "Answers Come in Dreams" (notice the clever anagram) tracks are remixed by Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto. These two essentially become MBM songs by taking on the trademark bass and beat of Meat Beat. "As Pure As?" is remixed by John Balance and Drew McDowall, basically another re-working of the track but probably the best of the bunch. The final track is the same as the album version. An excellent single and great companion to the album.
