Cosmic Gate - Exploration of Space

[definitelynotadj]

Released together in 2000. I personally strongly prefer the latter, Exploration of Space is not only overplayed but I also don't really like the melody (to me it sounds like the outcome of randomly banging your keyboard, at least in the initial part). On the other hand, Melt to the Ocean sounds fantastic. It could have the best melody they've come up with so far.

Exploration of Space

Melt to the Ocean

These remixes (from "Back 2 the Future") are very good, and at least in the case of EoS the remix beats the original in my view:

Exploration of Space (Cosmic Gate's Back 2 the Future Remix) [2010]

Melt to the Ocean (John O'Callaghan's Main Room Remix) [2011]

I never really liked Cosmic Gate to be honest. The only one of these I like is the B2tF mix of EoS that one is pretty nice, acutally.

Exploration of Space is actually a really good track. I wouldn't doubt that people back then mistook it for Sandstorm, though. They have similar "sounds."

I feel sorry for people who likes this garbage. Pure fucking garbage.
Cosmic Gate is just as bad today as back then

To be fair they did go to shit after Back 2 Back 3, perhaps sooner than the rest of the scene. Most of what they released after that was boring and generic. But that's 2007, so years later. Before that, their sound was one of the best - at least to me.
