This tune is just the fuckin best. I love it. Great instrumentation and Ann Saunderson's vocals are just mind blowing. Better than DJ Rolando - Jaguar? I don't know but its not far behind.

Black Water was quite successful when it was released in 2000, being distibuted by concept music, and featuring in the sets of non-techno DJ's. This original release is probably worth getting for the track Black Water alone, a piece of percussive techno in the vein of Daystar Rising. As mentioned above this is quite different from the track that caused all the fuss, the Ann Saunderson-vocalled 'Untold' mix.

The track "Untold" later got repressed and rereleased in different versions on 430 West Promos, Voidcomm and Concept Music and then strangely referred to as "Black Water". The actual "Black Water"-tracks on this release are mere drumtracks and got nothing to do with the synth-stab-laden "Untold"-versions of "Black Water".

The instrumental track works well out of the original vocal mix of Blackwater. Makes for a long, deep mix of Blackwater. Excellent remixes.

If any of you mis-spent your summer in Ibiza this year, and recovered from your clubbing excesses on the beach at Ses Salines, in front of the Sa Trinxa bar, looking at the beautiful Italians, you will have heard this mesmerising track slowly taking over your consciousness as the sun went down. It's the one that goes "Just open your heart, open your mind, let your love go, let the sun shine..." over a hypnotic synth and some very cool string pads. It's not on any of the obvious compilations.
