One of the classics I've been most ambivalent about.
The original version of L'Esperanza is nice and dreamy up until the lead synth kicks in about 2:30 minutes in. Something about it just feels... off. I don't know if it's because of the production, my ear is not used to such high pitches, or the producers used too much noise, but in any case this (and the versions like it) are the ones I avoid.
My go-to is the Armin Rising Star mix. It's much nicer on the ears and feels like a more standard trance track. Armin captured nicely the original feel of L'Esperanza while making it more accessible to listeners.
