Van Bellen - Let me Take you on a Journey(Extended Mix)[1997]

[Meh]

Better version than the original.

 

[Hensmon]

Love these. Why is the extended shorter than the original though?

 

[Archon]

Yeah, lovely stuff. Think I prefer the Original here.

The original doesn't have the pad breakdown

 

[Rok]

Oh, how I miss progressive tracks like this. So simple, but full of everything that matters - emotion, rhythm...

 

[Archon]

Just love that deep synth at 4:40 in the Original Mix... Makes the entire track for me. Nostalgic summery prog. On a warm day, there's nothing better.

@Peenuts check this out.

Nalin & Kane delivered a more upbeat version, and a very good one at that.

Nalin & Kane were the first guys who signed the track on their Superfly label. There are two versions of the track : the Original Mix is called 'Part 1', (the Extended version was not included) and there is a 'Part 2' version mostly unknown for the people and can be found just on this Superfly vinyl release.

Both enjoyable tracks. They start out simple but build very nicely - i personally love those string pads the most.

Sounds nothing like it

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

Sounds nothing like it

Because i'm not talking about the 'sound', its about the female voice sample

 

[Progrez]

Because i'm not talking about the 'sound', its about the female voice sample

That's what I meant man. The female voice sample sounds nothing like it. I can hear let me take you on a journey in the song.

 

[Motion]

Cant stop listening to these, no matter how many years pass

 

[Spacetime]

I'm convinced. Van Bellen is the best prog producer ever to grace the glorious scene. The British tried hard I will give them that, but in the end its a dutchy once again taking the top spot.

new digital and vinyl reissue:

In the year 1997 a German house label called Superfly caused a stir in electronic club land. One of the most remarkable releases on this imprint was van Bellen‘s „Let me take you (on a journey)“.

The track introduced a new genre with grovvy and pumpin‘ beats meeting a harmonic composition of warm and chilly pads and strings.

Now it‘s time to reissue this timeless tune remastered plus a brandnew interpretation of noone else than Belgium‘s finest house export Maxim Lany plus two already released but still hot mixes by Guy Mantzur & Roy Rosenfeld plus Sebastien Leger (All Day I Dream).

digital release is already out on beatport: Let Me Take You (On a Journey) from Esprit De La Jeunesse on Beatport
