Wonderful 11.5 minute progressive trance anthem made in Sweden by David West and Andreas Hermansson (aka Inkfish).



Includes remixes from Flash Brothers


and Gavyn Mytchel – separate release

I was surprised that Armin played this during his 'ASOT 1000 classic night' earlier this year.

However, I was also surprised that it didn't sound very good. The bass was very weak and the strings didn't quite say "HELLO" in your face. At home, this track sounds lovely, but in the big Jaarbeurs it didn't quite do it for me. Very thin and weak (unfortunately).

I have no idea whether this is because of the actual track itself, or other factors, volume/eq/compressing/effects/no idea...

Im not surprised if this was one of those - better for home listening or on headphones - kind of trance tracks. The strings aren't that pronounced actually and i can see them getting lost in a big hall/room/club.

Great track nonetheless!

This track was made and played in 2004 so its actually soon 20 years old. Massive track of course, probably the best intro i have ever heard

if we're lucky, armada just forgot about it and don't give a shit, otherwise we should expect a bunch of future rave and techno remixes for it lol

I would say it's probably the shitty Armada mastering or the sound system there.
