Sanctuary (The Remixes)

On 19 September 2011, a remix extended play of Sanctuary was released, featuring 4 remixes from various artists, including remixes from electronic producers Ben Gold, Paul Thomas & Myke Smith, Miss Nine and Ephixa.[5][6] Senthil Chidambaram of Dancing Astronaut generally liked the Paul Thomas & Myke Smith Remix, stating "The progressive melody meshed with Lucy Saunders voice creates a spiritual calming feel throughout the entirety of the track".[6] DJMag.com gave the remix EP a 7.5/10, stating:

Sanctuary seemed to be all about its super-contagious chorus. Ben Gold's remix challenges that by strongly emphasising and amping up its angular lead-line. Ephixa goes for a twitchy, spasmodic bit of dubstep-ery, which is ok, of the type. Miss Nine's charts some straight-up fluffy trance waters with hers, while Paul Thomas & Myke Smith opt for a darker, cooler locale.[5]

gollark: (The correct meaning of "GPS trackers" is of course not those bad things which determine their location using GPS and broadcast it by other means, but better devices which pretend to be the GPS Control Segment in order to control the GPS satellite constellation and transmit their own location data via that.)
gollark: Why do your socks not include built-in GPS trackers?
gollark: You can borrow one of the GTech™ nanofabricators for it.
gollark: GTech™ does not offer a /dev/null-as-a-service API at this time, but you can use the multitude of hosted services available for this.
gollark: It's mean to place housing into GTech™ untime chambers.
