I fully agree with Tim, but I have something important to add. For me this track is strongly inspired by the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (USA, 2004). It's amazing as they are complementary. On the Oliver Smith Remix, at 4:45, you can even hear the dialogue of the main characters. The title comes from this dialogue:
Clementine: Joely? What if you stay this time?
Joel: I walked out the door. There's no memory left.
Clementine: Come back and make up a goodbye at least, let's pretend we had one... Goodbye, Joel.
Joel: ...I love you...
Clementine: ...Meet me in Montauk...
Clementine: [whispers] Meet me... in Montauk...

I don't think tim_siegertsz could have said it any better. Whoever is reading my review should probably go and read his again. Meet Me In Montauk is by far one of the best pieces of trance in the Electronica/Dance genre category, that I have ever heard. To really love this track for all it's worth you must really have a love for Electronica/Dance. From beginning to end it will hold you in a unexplainable entranced/club feeling that you don't ever want to leave.

Where do you start when describing such a masterful piece of music, and is it possible to say that this is the best instrumental track on the mighty Anjunabeats label.

Firstly one has to point out that if you are a fan of trance or not, as long as you like electronic music you will certainly appreciate both the Original and Oliver Smith mixes. This is a truly massive production on an almost biblical scale, not purely down to the length, but on the basis of the range and depth of sound offered by this prolific and slightly unorthodox pairing.

The Original Mix is inexplicable in that there are so many sounds and effects on show at the same time, thus resulting in an extremely complex piece of EDM. During the build-up there is a fairly normal sequence of flat pads and a steady bassline with a sort of Tech House feel, after 1:27 a very delicate and downtempo piano melody is brought in along with some stunning orchestral strings and a haunting vocal which sends goosebumps all over your body. This is blended into producing a soaring progressive climax to which the initial Tech House elements are re-introduced, however this time there is a soft-synth interpretation of the piano melody used in the breakdown in order to maintain at least a few trancy elements. Before returning to another bone-chillingly epic breakdown, the 'peak' sections of this track where the melody meets both the riff and bassline, gives the overall feeling of a modern slice of classical music possibly best described as progressive tech house with a sort of progressive trance 'template' - just about keeping this within the realms of an already diverse genre.

Regarding the remix, you essentially get a progressive trancer with all of the hallmarks by which Olie Smith is creating such a stir about within the industry. Club-friendly and full of the qualities and character displayed in the original, this remix is a sensational remake that makes no apologies for the uplifting feel expected on such a dedicated trance label. Gliding synths, a faster bpm, punchier pads, and the clever use of the piano melody as a looped riff then synced with his trademark samples, as well as extended vocal work ensures that the ambience and theatre is not lost, but is in fact used to produced a totally unique euphoric moment.

This is an apocalyptic, timeless and utterly sublime production by which I cannot truly explain - just set aside 20mins of your life and try and take it in at least once.

5/5 is an understatement!
