Sorry, I meant identical in some ways except Pump Up the Jam has vocals 
and this track Technotronic doesn't.

The additional synth 'wash' is noticeable, as is the chord in the chorus 
of the Pump Up the Jam hit single.

Some things in dance music never change, such as a tentative vocal-less 
instrumental paving the way for a secondary radio-friendly release with 
meaningless vocals.

And I should have made it more clear that this is a track by Jo Bogaert 
under the alias Pro 24's, a few records before Jo Bogaert's Technotronic 
alias.

Jeremy.
