Lange – I Believe

2 amazing tracks, each in their own right. 1 of Additive's finest no doubt. There was a remix competition in Future music for this tune, which featured all of the individual elements on the cover CD. The winning mix was pretty good from memory. I found it interesting that on the acapella, where Sarah Dwyer sings 'I Believe', the last part of 'Believe' kind of looped, as if she had sung it but not for as long as needed for the final version. I have listened to the finished version, after many years and I really can't tell, perhaps because of the reverb.
Also, interesting to note, the Tandu remix goes quiet for a few seconds on the drop after the breakdowns. Never noticed this until now

The original is classic, high golden age additive. This, friends, is the sound of a label at the ultimate pinnacle of its vitality, creativity, and sheer beauty.

Okay, hopefully that superlative preamble wasn't too scary!

Seriously, though. If you love trance -- if you really love trance -- you must not go without the b side of this record. The original lange mix is really pretty, don't get me wrong... but this tandu mix... wow... I totally concur with the last reviewer -- just ... unreal.

This is energetic, optimistic, melodic trance before the fall.

This has to be one of the best trance tracks I've ever heard. The style in which it was made was also being used by Lost Witness at the time, but it's buildup and melody make that track perfect... and that vocal from Sarah Dwyer is to die for.
