Wow, for a 2004 release this still sounds so so fresh.

Droppped by above and beyond to a pumping ministry of sound during the anjunabeats vol 6 launch party in october 2008, the dynaglide mix, had every single clubber on the floor dancing with their hands in the air chanting along, one sight I am so pleased to have witnessed 1st hand.

Quite simply this release should go down as a benchmark in trance history and a must for any serious collector.

At its peak this was the tune to have, now its a anthem to savour.

10/10 everytime

Two classic mixes on one vinyl. The G&D mix aims at the progheads out there...chunky, melodic and containing, quite frankly, one of the most recognisable lyrics in trance. Absolutely lush...but Armin, takes it to the next level, transforming the original into a melodic trance behemoth, with devastating results on the dancefloor. Hard to pick between them as they are very different yet both highly appealing!

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.

Originally heard this about June of 2003 on a promo only cd-single that only had an instrumental version of the Sweeping Strings mix on it. Interestingly, the song's title was "As The Rush Comes On" and was billed to "Gabriel & Dresden present Motorcycle." I'm guessing they dropped the "On" when they added the vocals to the main release as it would have been much less catchy with the extra word (On) given the song's arrangement.

A true meaning of a trance record very dreamy with powerful vocals... Gabriel & Dresden should both be proud of themselves with this release.
