Endre - I Kill For You [2004]

[BladeRunner_]

 

[Archon]

Absolutely adore this one. A stupidly simple melody, but it works so well. Shows that sound design is just as important. He got help from a known producer (can't remember who) on this one as well, as I think it was his first release.

The remixes, although not even in the same league as the original, were fantastic as well. Probspot and Exertion did one each, and I prefer the Exertion one to the Probspot remix.

 

[Matrixmorpheus]

Its all about Probspot remix, anyone who says anything else is wrong.

I'm going to do something, which is considered illegal in at least 92 countries: I'm agreeing with Matrixmorpheus

Edit: Well, half-agree as in I prefer the Probspot remix but I don't deal in absolutes like Siths

 

[Toadcop]

Rico Soarez raped <333 it's like he crafted his own style and produced great tracks under it (similar to Andrew Bennett)
i prefer much more such way of producing rather than "trying different styles" and doing dogshit. because some humans/producers are just about "one thing" the rest will be mediocre.

100% this! Lets add the Probspot remix to the thread as well:

 

[Uplifted]

Probspot remix FTW

 

[dmgtz96]

The Probspot remix and the original mix have different purposes, but I think the Probspot is a better progressive trance track than the original is an uplifting track. Probspot is also closer to old trance with that classic 2-step rhythm.
If you prefer your trance without bells and whistles (which is a valid perspective), then you might prefer the Probspot remix.

 

[Daysleeper]

Interesting to see so many preferring the PS remix. I just played both of them after another. Still preferring the original.

There's just more to discover in it and does conveys the emotions better somehow + a much more unique bassline. I find the probspot remix a bit underwhleming and standard in how its executed. It sounds a bit standard schulz prog. However it does really shine in the takeoff, and its got a better "bounce" to it, but other than that its a little too repetitiv and "standard" in its structure. There's more to discover in the original imo, which to me translate to a better listening experience.

btw, the oringal isnt uplifting or trying to be uplifting.

 

[Archon]

Just for the emotional content the original can't be beat. Happy-sad and reminiscent, definitely not uplifting. The headphones is where it's at its best. One of the best trance tracks from 2004. And that's saying a lot.

Possibly Robert Nickson?
Both of them used to post a fair bit on the Producers Forum on Tranceaddict back in the day (and Nickson remixed his other release 'Kallocain' )
I know they were both using Reason at the time to produce as well.

It's a great tune. Probspot mix is a real gem as well!

 

[Motion]

I find it hard to choose between the two mixes, as the Probspot one is what I heard first and was played more at the time. The Original remix is probably slightly better, more nuanced.

 

[Aquarium]

Original all the way baby. Kallocain still the king tho.1

 

[Archon]

Been so long since I took a listen to this one, and it's still absolutely great!

Rico was the king during this period in my eyes.

 

[Electronlyman]

I'm probably one of the few that doesn't dig the style of Probspot. I can understand why that sound is so fondly loved though. It is instantly recognisable and unique.
Doesn't hit the spot for me unfortunately.

On the other hand, after listening to the original, I won't put any modern Trance on.
The emotion in this is just something that you don't find in today's scene and I don't want to lose it...

The part leading up to the breakdown.
It is not trying to be cool, just full on real human emotion that I feel down to the soul .

Wouldn't change a thing,
just wishing more of this, sadly unlikely...

Yeah, these tracks really mean something to me.
Almost never put any modern stuff on repeat,
this I can hear 10 times in a row.

 

[Pokkryshkin]

Both versions are incredible, one of Probspot's best works in my opinion. The original is all about emotional depth, but the remix gives the track a lighter, airier, and more spacious vibe

 

[Anderanao]

I like the original more in general, but the breakdown of propspot and how delicate it is.
