Yes, that's right (it's by Phenomania and it's called "Strings of Love"), and I have it on a compilation called "Axis Dance Tracks". I picked it up about a year and a half ago. They actually sample several tunes in the song, one is the beatles song, and another is "Strings of Life" (That's right--Life not Love) by Rhythim is Rhythim (that's actually how it's spelled). I fell in love with it too, when I first heard it. It also has a killer piano riff throughout it. That's the part from the Rhythim is Rhythim song. Amazing song, especially at loud volume. I do have the Rhythim is Rhythim piano riff on 12" collecting dust -- it's just the piano riff without any bass and I suppose it's for DJs so they can layer the sound. I'd be willing to part with it if anyone's interested. I'm near San Francisco, so preference goes to any local DJs so we can hear it played here in the local scene. Don donpierr@netcom.com
