288:"Strings of Life" is based on a piano sequence by May's friend Michael James. He dropped in for a visit at May's house and sat down to play a piano ballad he had been working on called, "Lightning Strikes Twice". This piece went into May's sequencer and was kept there until May decided to listen to it all the way through. He found some portions which interested him, and he started to work with it. The song was originally at 80 BPM before May increased the tempo, chopped it up into loops, and added percussion and string samples.
356:"This is special because it's a seminal dance track. It reminds me of when I first DJed at Sunrise. Another DJ was doing the last set and it wasn't going down too well, people were getting agitated and throwing things at him; he refused to play and I went back on and this was the first track — it got the best response I've ever had as a DJ. I play it when I do Back To '89 and if I'm in the mood I'll play it at Speed — you have to create a vibe and it takes everyone by surprise.

According to
Frankie Knuckles, the track "just exploded. It was like something you can't imagine, the kind of power and energy people got off that record when it was first heard. Mike Dunn says he has no idea how people can accept a record that doesn't have a bassline."
