Lightforce - Join Me

You need to be a Trance fan to really appreciate this gem.
Side A is an absolute corker of energetic uplifting trance music with choral lines and beautiful piano. There is something very 'orchestral' or 'classical' about it which I think is dreamlike but does not take away its tough club kick.
The B Side is not my favourite. Yes it is tougher but it doesn't pull me in like the A Side.
It is criminal that I have never heard it played in the clubs (apart from my DJ sets a few years ago).

When I first heard this tune I was in the middle of the dance floor in the Camden Palace in London, it was around 3am (probably), the place was packed with 2000 clubbers and I, among everybody else there, lost it to this one. The whole place erupted when this tune was played.

A subtle, squelchy acidic bassline underlies your typical trance 4/4, while a filtered choir-like vocal phases in and out during the build up to a sublime euphoric breakdown - beautifully simple piano melody gets layered with said haunting choir vocal again, and finally the crescendo arrives in the form of a wicked synth-stabbing riff that just build and builds and builds......and then dancefloor devastation ensues as the beat kicks in again and all hell breaks loose.

If you love trance music and you don't own this, give yourself a slap and then go track it down. Now.

Horrible trance remake of Finnish "Love Metal"-act HIM's "Join Me", Lightforce sampled the chorus & the melody, and then applied pompous puke-worthy synths. This track is utter trite & dull, saty away from this track at all cost. The Plug & Play remix is a improvement tho, it's on the harder tip and works in some mysterious way. A tip is to also check out UK hard trance act Marcos' bootleg remixes of the track, it's hard & very nice
