Cygnus X - The Orange Theme

I've always considered "The Orange Theme" a turd in Eye Q's catalogue. It's crude, in-your-face and unsophisticated, and reeks of UK superclubs and "Now that's what I call trance" compilations.

But the flip side of this original release is magnificent. See, "Introspective" is just that - a pensive, poignant track imbued with the kind of warm melancholy often heard in the best early 90's trance. You needn't waste your time on the overplayed A side - this is the real deal. Beautiful.

Why is it that although I have always disliked trance this evergreen made me beg for more when I heard it the first time. The answer is simple (although a little long): this is outstanding, excellent, first-rate, eminent, splendid, masterful, sublime, primely, splendid trance! Or did it have something to do with something in my drink? An absolute must-have classic even when u're alergic to arpeggio's !

It seems so obvious when you realise it. "Orange Theme" is based on the theme music for the movie "The Clockwork Orange" composed by Wendy Carlos.
