BT ‎- Mercury & Solace (incl. Remixes) [1999]

[Uplifted]

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.

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.

 

[aSeb]

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

 

[Toadcop]

great track! <3 (original)

I remember looking for this track a decade ago. Rachael Rachael falling rachael

 

[BS_BlackScout]

BT 12" Mastermix is my favorite. Absolutely fantastic style, chill yet bangs your speakers .

Another remix from 1999.

BT - Mercury and Solace (Marc Shimmon Remix)

 

[Matrixmorpheus]

If the BT dub didnt include those cheese awful vocals it would be a cool track.

 

[TwinSilo]

Never minded the vocals. Still a great one.

 

[Progrez]

Great track

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

 

[Hensmon]

All time classic - totw! Soothing trance needs to return

 

[erickUO]

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

 

[Recharge]

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.

I have been thrashing the 12" mastermix recently since hearing Tiesto drop it in his recent ISOS EDC set.

Easily one of the best Trance records ever made.

 

[Narel]

Always loved it, the descending pitch vocal effect destroyed my brain when I first heard it and I still get a buzz from it. The whole Movement In Still Life Album is a masterpiece

 

[NameLessYet]

This is also my favourite BT track without 'one of' I think. Everytime I listen to it, it brings me back to a night 4 years ago when I was biking in the summer night by the river at my hometown, listening to ISOS1 and ASOT Classics Vol.12, enjoying the summer wind and night view. It's the best description of the cover of ISOS1.

By the way, I think I can't find the difference between the BT 12'' Master Mix and BT Dub, can anyone tell me that?

Stand out track of the first ISOS Fond memories of a "simple" life back in the day. Hearing it played live by Galen Behr @ Lumi 2009 was a special moment
