The violin you mention with the long sustained notes reminds me of one song, however it isn't a true violin but a synth and the song has a few various mixes, so I'd guess the likely candidate would be the mix which is mostly acoustic - ie minus heavy drum machine etc. (I'm not sure such a mix exists, though discogs entry is promising -

The version I remember from all those years ago did not quite match what I found today, I don't remember so much emphasis on the fast beat overlay, but perhaps my memory only remembered the nice melodic accompaniment , but possibly I heard a different mix played on the radio.
