Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes

As The Rush Comes (Armin van Buuren's "Universal Religion" Remix)
-
This Remix reminds me very much of Armin's Remix of Rapture, and mainly because of the following; In his remix of As The Rush Comes, the first section of the song follows a pretty similar structure to that of the Sweeping Strings Remix, with the typical Armin percussion and bassline. The synths are very powerful and are effective with the melody. But then out of nowhere comes a whole new riff that gives this progressive track a much more 'trancey' edge. This is exactly what he did with Iio - Rapture, with the adding of a whole new section. It's very effective, and as a result makes it my personal favorite out of all the remixes. I believe it was first debuted at Global Gathering in 2003 and the effect on the crowd was simply immense. A fine remix from Armin that keeps all the key elements from the Sweeping Strings Remix whilst adding his signature to an awesome piece of Electronica.

Not what I have come to expect from the legends that are Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki & Tony McGuinness. Not that this is a bad thing, it's just very different from their usual style. Just like Armin, they add a very ‘trancey’ riff that adds a lot to the track. The bassline is quite hard and typical of Above & Beyond. It's very strange hearing these type of uplifting synths in such a progressive track and to me doesn't 'fit' as well as Armin van Buuren's synths do.
