This was such a great thread back then. I discovered a lot of little gems!

I actually have a track that might fit into this thread.


I heard this track almost 10 years ago for the first time and was never able to get it. As far as I know, it has never been released. Does anyone know if there exists a full version anywhere?
Btw: Is A.M.R. still producing? Haven't heard of him for a long time now. He made some great tracks and remixes back in the days.

I had a look around and wasn't able to find it anywhere. I haven't even been able to find the original mix, other than on some mix compilation. But no unmixed version anywhere. So could seem like that track (along with remixes) was never released for some reason.

He is still producing under the same name, however it's not the same style anymore. Lately he does deeper stuff, such as this:

This got released on the Armada Promo Pool at the time so was really lucky to get a copy of the full 320mp3 but only the edit made it to Beatport. Very strange decision never to release the track.

This one only got a very limited vinyl release back in the days. If i remember correctly, it's on exactly 2 different vinyls, one of them being a promo. Such a shame, cause it's such a great remix!
To this day I'm still looking for a proper version of this remix (started looking for it around a decade ago). Personally I'm not gonna buy the vinyl, since I'm unable to rip vinyls or even play them myself, so that wouldn't make much sense for me.

Can't say how "proper" enough this would be, but I have a vinyl rip of this, found in soulseek ages ago

Mod: link removed.
However the vinyl version is very far from being a rarity, I mean, try and find the CD version of this remix, which exists: Above & Beyond - Remix And Production Showreel. Nobody lists it in their collection, and there's nothing I can say about the quality of the track on this CDR, it could be from an mp3, or a vinyl rip burned on the cdr.

Hm.. sad. Thanks for the effort!

I listened to the track you posted - this really has nothing to do with his old style. But still quite enjoyable. :)

@Katadunkass : I never heard this track before. Great discovery!

Sadly a lot of Nu NRG material is not available on any stores anymore, the same thing goes for Marcos and Apogee.

Cool, thx a lot! I've basically just been looking for anything better than a 192kbps mp3, which is what I've been stuck with for so many years :p
I know it's probably far from the most rare track out there. I just never happened to find anything better, for some reason.

I'm assuming it's the special version of the LAME codec
The proprietary Fraunhofer codec used in iTunes returns very nice 320 files like this, so could be that's what they used. Never actually could get a "visibly lossless" 320 with LAME with various settings tbh.
