Pulser – My Religion

1 of the best trance tunes ever. This has everything you need from a true trance legend Andy Perring. It's intro is so subtle then builds to that trance crescendo we all love, a must have in any collectors record bag.

What a great Tune, probably one of the best ways to bring to life a great song with all the energy of today's trance

The more I listen, the more I'm strongly convinced that it is the Lange remix that should be getting the vast amount of the praise. It takes everything the original tries to communicate, and then elevates it to a whole new level of energy and mystery. In general, all the sounds just seem to be glued together so much more perfectly in the Lange remix. It sounds more full and rich, and, dare I say, subtly more professional and matured, filling in the voids the original left off to complete its potential.

The lead synths plucking the now famous introductory arpeggio just melts your face with its haunting aura as it fades in, while an unpretentious, but effective, bassline pulsates. Also impressive is the beat that comes in during the melodic breaks, which throws you off a bit by momentarily clearing away a monotonous display, as if to awaken you from a deep hypnosis. And the breaks are deep, spooky, and just the right length to keep you well engaged, before the full impact of the song's energy slams you almost suddenly. The original, on the other hand, sounds more orchestral during the melodic breaks, and seems to be a bit less effective in delivering that fierce energy and emotion. The transitions are also a bit more repetitive in the original, taking away from the suspense. So, there's no doubt that the original set the curve and should be considered a classic, but the Lange remix is for me one of the most astonishing pieces of trance I've ever heard.

Personally, I don't think this track comes anywhere close to matching the classic "Cloudwalking", or even the easily-overlooked "Lightwave". It just lacks the uniqueness and magic that makes Cloudwalking so special -- it sounds almost exactly like every other trance tune that comes out nowadays. Not to say it's a bad tune, it's pure quality for what it is, but due to the rather fimiliar nature of tracks like this, it was duly forgotten within a matter of months.
