Sasha & Maria* ‎– Be As One

The crown jewel in my collection is the release of Be As One with the painting on the black sleeve. This is the song that started it all for me. MASTERPIECE :)

This track reminds me of all those wonderful 90's essential mixes from the likes of Sasha, John Digweed, Dave Seaman & co.

Waaaaah memories or what want a classic so glad I found this I'm back in the 90s

absolute cracker of a tune 'be as one' i first heard it on a old sasha tape the b sîde 'heart of imaginaton' also another great track if you dont have this gem în your vinyl collection your seriously missing out

The main track "Be As One" is okay. It was a very big tune at the time, although I found the vocals to be a bit too pitched up for me. I did not buy it when it came out, for this reason.

In later years, I came to discover "Heart Of Imagination" on the B-side. That is awesome. If you like the BT remixes that were coming out in this period of progressive house, check out this track on youtube. It's quite ridiculous that this vinyl is selling for less than £1.50 at the moment, but there you go I suppose, times and tastes move on.

I love "Be As One" as much as the next man that bassline is straight from "Right in the Night" by Jam & Spoon. This record was the zenith of epic house - the high tide the whole genre reached before all the artists started winding back the production elements a bit and reduced track lengths. I can't imagine many people getting Jan Johnson and Danny Campbell in for a backing vocal session these days and recording about three words each!

Great times, great production and great track (but I think Xpander is better).

Love this tune. Big nod to one of the classic dance tracks of all time in there, Donna summer I feel love. Superb

The notorious white label bootleg that came out before the official release, this caused Sasha to say he will no longer send out pre release promos, not sure if this is still the case with him now?

The sound quality from this is not great, it's an amateurish bootleg copied straight from the promo vinyl, including some crackling and not the best sound engineering!

Still, a brilliant tune though which at the time was a real roof raiser.

Definitely the best Sasha track to date (in my opinion!) Although he may well have had a lot of help from Richard Dekkard (of Kristine W - Land of the Living' remix fame) rather than a young BT as is it often rumoured, this is still a classic example of epic prog at its very finest - the track that got me into dance music and inspired me to buy decks... Timeless!
