Mercury & Solace is without a doubt one of my all-time favourite vocal trance tracks ever.

Always having shivers listening to it, even from the first drop.

Jan Johnston has always been my favourite vocalist and this is probably my favourite track with her vocals.

Awareness, the fruit of life..
Awareness and happiness..

Vibes...
Hapiness...
The dance never ends.

But I know you're there..
Only you are my happiness.

Memories
Happiness
Lovely voices

In nightfall I'll meet you,
Seeds of desire absolve,
There's no going back,
I'm losing control.

As the morning creeps up
And I'm looking for the shade
In your embrace.
My grieving says: reach out for me, reach out...
Reach out for me, reach out...

I know you're, you're there
Reach out for me, reach out
Reach out for me, reach out

I may go with you...
Lovely voices...

Reach out for me, reach out...
Reach out for me, reach out...

I savor every moment,
I'll savor every moment...
You're precious.
You're precious to me.

My 2nd favourite version is Transa remix, amazing tune.

Always enjoyed the ethereal vibe in the original BT mix. The climax at 5:35 is fantastic, too! Weird to hear wobbles in a trance track, haha, but it fits with the times.

Yes the Mastermix has to be one of the best tunes I have heard. Amazing.

12" mastermix was always my favourite. remember first hearing it as a kid and thinking it was a bit more "cerebral", for lack of a better word than most of the other trance I was into around the time

Original is legendary, but I prefer Quivver remix
That and other prog trance tracks around that time was an eye opener for me

If the BT dub didnt include those cheese awful vocals it would be a cool track.
I hate to agree since I am a sucker for cheesy trance vocals, but I would've love to hear a real instrumental version. There is a really amazing melody and things happening in the back, but the vocal seems to distract from it.
