The original track is one of the best tracks from 1999, this remix doesn't really add much new but fucking hell its good. Might as well end up being tune of the year for me

I've come to expect this from Activa, so I don't mind it. It's produced well and done tastefully, albeit too safely for my taste; there's no creativity or soul. Just a tune, a touch up on a classic, and a decent one at that. I can respect that.

And by far, in my book, there were much much better tracks in '99. The original, though still great, had a high remix potential, especially in '99.

Activa is unstoppable. Brilliant remix. This is how a classic should be treated.

Activa seems to be the only producer in the scene capable of taking classics and giving them modern updates which sound good.

I'll only judge his ability to make a classic sound, lets give this one 6.5 M.I.K.Es out of 10, not bad. He should use some of what Astral Projection are using to bring that sound to life more

Not a big fan of the melodic ideas in the original track, so this rework doesn't do much for me. It's very well produced and pleasant on the ears though.

I agree that Activa's playing it really safe on most of the remixes and even originals, but it's his thing: clean, somewhat sterilised trance yet nevertheless very pleasant to the ear and give you that sort of warm feeling inside.

And this one nearly went through the net as well. This is even better than the Mac & Monday Atlantis remix. The sounds are so balanced and clean. Finally we have modern remakes that offer respect to the original, no decimation.
