Norm Talley – The Journey / In Yo Soul

I politely disagree with Mark Anthony in that neither of the remixes has the same punch and drama that the original delivers. Although the remixes sound good, and pretty darn near similar, they never quite made me peak like norm talley's edit did. Respect

i was wrong

I hope the repress is on a 12" but still cut by Andreas @ Schnittstelle. Ten minutes is pushing it for a 10".

If you're like me, you're wondering what the difference is between Scott's version and the original. The answer: Not much. I'd say "re-edit" or "version" is a better title than "remix". Scott's Pather version has an extra bassline element and some synth work. The added synths are barely noticeable. If you were to play the original mix into Scott's mix in a club it would sound like a 20 a minute version of the Journey. Someone who'd never heard the track before would not know it was 2 different versions. Scott's version is 8:32 in duration while Norm's is about 10 minutes. The main hook of the track, which is the classic disco/tribal drum loop remains from the original. I would conclude that if you really like the original mix, this is also worth having, but if you're not truly interested in the original, or just find it to be average, this version is not going to make you any more excited.

The Journey is disco heat from out of this world. I've never heard a man rock the same drum loop and piano keys for so long and not have it get stale. Even though the track is an intense slow-burn builder, its also minimal or minimized in many regards. The same way that Mike Huckaby can get away with 10 minutes of loop tweaking, so can Norm.

Love it! I wish this were a 12"; I still have to pay the same twelve-inch price to ship this from Juno.uk to the US. <<< Bullshit
