God damn...and all those feelings of younger days running through the falling snow come back with this music. I blinked and 10 years went by, but with this it's like it was only yesterday.
Haha same here me too, had it saved on my old computer as ID&T radio edit without a number. Computer got fried and I lost it, searched literally every episode to find it again. So good
+Jabir Nakhkhaly i know that feeling right ! :D when an episode remains on replay in your head forever you can neither stop listening to nor get bored of ! amazing feelings with trance and then it becomes unforgettable memories :) massive !
I used to drive to Northern California from Southern California quite often in 2006. I loved doing the drive at night and I had a series of ASOT episodes lined up for the drive. I always started this episode as I was heading up the Tejon Pass into the mountains. The timing was so perfect with this episode. The mellow intro, talking about snow. Then about an hour in 54:04 DJ Vestiga feat Jomar - Nightoperator would hit right around the time you hit the long straight up the state and it just set the tone and the mood for this middle of the night journey across a vast distance, alone, with the stars in the sky. This episode and that feeling are pure trance for me. It’s like this internal connection to everything all around you, and you’re just there flying through it all. This is my all time favorite ASOT episode. I’ll never forget it.
Thank you for sharing your memories. It's interesting to look up these older episodes on RU-vid now and read the comments sections, and see what has resonated with people. This has always been one of my favorite ASoT episodes.
I thought the 2004 Yearmix (182) was my favorite, but then rediscovered this one and now I'm thinking it might be this one... legendary shit honestly. Now that I think about it, A Promise probably had a pretty big impact on the music I was producing back in the mid-2000s. As did Castamara
Wow how do you find such classic episodes? I own all the ASOT CDs plus every year mix was sent to me by Armin this Christmas lol he definitely f Reads his emails & id won a copy back during ASOT500 era and I'd written how the year mixes were what I look forward to every yr since 04 & in 2014 I got everyone of them sent in cd format such a great gift 24 disc total still stoked about it lol feel lucky:) Ty for the upload
Oh I left out how I'd won during the start of the hectic ASOT500 and instead of the single cd by an artist I'd sent the email about so 498-499 I win but hadn't received anything so I sent an email after a few weeks passed after the festival was over & did so only twice eventually assumed it was lost in the mail we had a new mail lady who lost lots of ppls mail lol. So then outta nowhere on Christmas Eve day before I found that in the mail every year mix ever made to date still so grateful for that only better gift is to win a trip to Ibiza with.
+RichardJones I am more a fan of the energetic uplifting sound. Space guitar is a great relaxing chilly trance but for me nothing beats huge lifts with a euphoric uplifting melody. Thanks for the reply :-)
I Can Imagine listening To That one and many like It driving at night In one of Them neon light up 350z Import Tuner Car’s Going To night Club’s That play The same music.
