Didnd really think much of these tracks in the past, but realised they are solid pieces from Lange in his peak. Compliment each other very well with the distinctive sound and drive of his.
Enjoy!

The original version is way too melodical for my taste, but 'Plastic Angel' made a good job here:
Firewall – Touched (Plastic Angel 2002 Remix)

That buildup is insane with those percussion such subtly and beautiful and those arpeggios in the original are amazing. This was a dancefloor destroyer back in the day.
Well... what can I say... I'd never heard Reflections or Touched up to now. Listening now and Reflections is a stone cold classic, one of Lange's best productions. Important to note he was still using analog gear at this point so it has that warm classic sound. And what a melody. I know by 2003 he had switched to using digital gear, e.g. the remix of My Religion with synths sounding watered down.
I guess it flew under the radar somewhat probably because it was released on an obscure label. Activation had only 4 releases. I wonder if it was Pulser's label because two of the releases were his....

It was. I started it but it was managed day-to-day by Tim Stark (ATCR). Lange became a partner but our (and everyone elses) distributor Amato, where Tim was the labels manager, ceased operations so we had to close the label.
