Review by moonmaniac May 22, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This is still an amazing track, was released originally in 1993 and I think I didn't notice it until 1998 or so when I heard the Tony De Vit Remix on swedish radio and was very intrigued with the track. Heard the original some years later and thought that de vit had destroyed the track with his remix. The original version has an atmospheric intro and then goes into a rough beat with a killer bassline, it chugs along and introduces some bells and then after the track has built on, the bells play out a melody and goes into a very small break where an awesome riff is introduced. After that the track kicks into high gear and then takes you by storm.

The only new version on this release is the Space Mix which gives a false impression of it being an ambient version in the beginning but really it's just a lighter yet "trippier" take. It doesn't have the riff from the original, instead you get whirly hypnotic synths along with the bells which works aswell.

The Crunched Mixes are also good. The Up version is the trancier take with it's chugging beat and synths whirling around the track and introduces the big riff in a good manner around 5minutes in and closes with it aswell. Not perfect for setpurposes as you want to lose the big elements to get the next track in to get it shining but i think this would do good as a setender.

The Down mix is not a trancy take, it a more mellow house version, sounds a bit like tracks released on Stress & Guerilla since it has a lighter house beat with but with a light chuggy foundation and lowkey trancy synths working their way through the track, beside the original this has to be my favourite version since it's lighter beat has a summery vibe and gets you going thinking about sunshine and better days.

Last but not least something completely different, well not really but "Global Harmony" is a harsh slighty riffdriven trance beast. Good track to end a really good single
