This is one of the greats, one of the best ever Trance anthems. I didn't know it was this old.

The bassline is so good, the percussion has loads of delicate pieces to keep it moving, the vocals are other-worldly, no track has done vocal chops better. No white noise or hard kick to be found. The whole thing is respectable. Even some acid lines are done subtly and just for a brief moment in one section. In the top 20 Trance tracks of all time?

Well, yes, it's one of the all time greats. It's the track that brought Orkidea fame in the underground scene. Samples Dead Can Dance - The Host of Seraphim

Once you hear Lisa Gerrard's vocals for the thousandth time in a trance track, and those Mystic Force flutes, kinda loses its charm. That said, love the drive, especially the bassline and that acid as well. Probably shaped trance, since that style took on in the years to come.
