I remember this from Anjuna 100, but for me its Smith & Pledger Remix > Original > Super 8 & Tab Remix

The Super 8 & Tab remix is awesome!!!!!!!

This is the original mix. Arksun is not a good person in real life he is a tool. He banned me twice on the Anjunabeats forum when I stood up against their management team.

~11 years ago I've discovered this "mashup" with Kamil Polner - Heart Of The Sun on YouTube, which appeared to be just a cut from ASOT 2005 yearmix where Armin put one track on another.

Amsterdam (Smith & Pledger Remix) + Heart Of Sun (ASOT 2005 Yearmix cut)

My friend from Poland has made a reconstruction in 2012 which sounds much better

For me the original beats them all. Love Arksun, great artist.

These were the tracks that got me into Trance. Had no idea this was Arksun. This one is an epic remix but now I'm favoring the S&P one more

Nothing will be the Smith & Pledger Remix

Despite being a huge fan of S&P on remix duties, I've always hated their remix of Amsterdam. Much more into the Super8 & Tab version. Much more my thing.

This. Nothing beats that version. One of the most legendary Anjunabeats tunes.

S&P and S8&T remixes are probably in my top 20 discoveries in 2017
I think both are so good, S&P wins but by a small margin to me.

I recognize Super8 & Tab's as being a bit of a 2.0 Trance, but that's completely irrelevant to someone who had gotten into the scene just at the tail end of 2016 . Still sounds great!

Arksun is not a good person in real life he is a tool. He banned me twice on the Anjunabeats forum when I stood up against their management team.

I guess that's why the forums got shut down HAHAHA. That's funny.

The original came up on my playlist this morning, it's such a beautiful track, and definitely up there as one of my favorite vocals of all time. I heard the Smith & Pledger remix many years ago and thats all I listened to until trying the original probably only 4/5 years ago. I think it's my favorite version now as its just super chill and kind of deep. Vocals are amazing and I like the lyrics too. S&P version is still unbelievable and I also get the love for the other versions too...

Seems like opinion can be quite split on what is the best version... why not a small poll then...

Original all the way. Arksun was just amazing back then.
