Lost Tribe - Gamemaster

The vast popularity of the track 'Gamemaster' (particularly the Original mix) comes as no surprise when you consider the undeniable similarities it has to two other popular trance tracks of years gone by, specifically Quench - 'Dreams' and Robert Miles - 'Children'. The thunderous, soaring synth that consumes the first third and the tail end of 'Gamemaster' is a lower pitched copy of the main hook of Dreams. The piano line and chords of the operatic vocal sample appearing during the cheesey female narrative breakdown are extremely remeniscent of 'Children'. So despite 'Gamemasters' popularity, it was hardly a groundbreaking track for it's time, and in my opinion remains inferior to the classics from which it was heavily inspired.
