Jurgen Vries - The Theme [2002]

[Recharge]

I was thinking about music that kind of flew low key back in the day. I remember song was received very positive back then, but its often overlooked when it comes to classic trance which is shame. Maybe some people though it was too commercial, I remember I didn't appreciated it as much as I do now.

Through the years it became one of my favourite songs and maybe it has a little bit something to do with the Cosmic Gate remix. I used to hear it in their sets played for years, of course nothing beats the original. Although hearing in a club really was an experience.


Found that story so edited to include it

Darren Tate posing as a Dutch guy to get more attention for his track. Not his, but his managers idea. I think that was very funny.

Classic track.

It’s often remixed on the Armada labels and those are often played by Armin during the ASOT events.

Never heard the original or the Dumonde remix somewhere live unfortunately. The MarLo remix isn’t the worst, that one was played regularly by Armin.

Original is high in my top list, melody doesn’t get old.

To be fair I don't know if I've heard the original in a club, maybe on a Trance Sanctuary event. I've heard the Duemonde and Cosmic Gate remixes and that melody hits differently on a club system, I think Marlo one too I remember I saw him live just around the remix came out.

The one I've heard the most is the Cosmic Gate version, they played like 2/3 an year in Ministry of Sound and at that time and I used to go there on every trance event. The remix is very similar to their Exploration of Space (Third Contact Remix)

Dumonde Remix for me.

Instrumental is just great to think that it sounds like it's made for a game.
