Pianoman — Pasion (The Trip Remix)

[Progrez]

I wish there was a dub mix/instrumental

For the first EP on his new label, Planet Strangelove, Job Jobse brings new life to an overlooked balearic house gem: "Pasion," an early '90s deep cut by the Leeds artist Pianoman, inspired by Tangerine Dream's "Love On A Real Train,” aka the most breathtaking synth arp of all time. Alex Kassian, whose sprawling take on Manuel Göttschings's "E2-E4" already showed his fine touch for the kosmische vibe Tangerine Dream embodied, delivers a "Dance Mix" and a "Dream Mix," one packing a club-ready beat, the other drifting weightlessly. London duo The Trip, of the label and party Tesselate, deliver a remix as breezy as it is thumping, all wailing divas, sunkissed pads and shimmering pianos. As for Pianoman's "Analysis" remix, it's a dazzling artifact of the balearic era at its peak, touched by the ineffable essence of its time but sounding just as fresh as its modern reinterpretations.

the 'Alex Kassian's Mandarine Dance Mix' is fantastic. great example of 'Balearic House' music! also the 'The Trip Remix' has a great UK touch. like in good old times!

sadly released at the end of summer, and not at the beginning

Vocals are a lil questionable with that wailing, but the Trip Mix still hits. Dub mix would have been the best. Kassian remix is ever better

the vocals are typical for an early 'House' production from Italy, many artist wanted to achiev this later on, to bring back nostalgia, 'Alex Kassian' is doing here the same thing just on his own way, it goes hand in hand with the style. also 'Andry Nalin' ('Nalin & Kane') and 'Maik Maurice' ('Resistance D.') had similiar idea in 2003:

'Fantazia' is very nice, the voice sample is taken from the famous 'Joe T. Vannelli feat. Csilla - Play With The Voice' wich you can also find in 'Paul Van Dyk' and 'Van Bellen' remixes

The housey production of the trip mix is very nice, but I'd need a dub to come back to it. Therefore its the Kasian remix that comes out on top, and it is lovely. Tangerine dream indeed!
