"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever"... your comment warms my heart. If I make it to my 70s I intend to listen to trance music every day, just as I do now.
3:20 When I heard that base come in for the first time in a club in '99, I almost collapsed. Me and my mate looked at each other with an agony/ecstasy (pun intended) look on our faces and simultaneously mouthed, *What the fuck?!".* Both continuing to look at each other, almost for confirmation that we are *definitely* conscious and definitely hearing and feeling this right now. 30 seconds later, the tune dropped for real and the place..... *erupted* and I mean erupted. *Everyone* was swept away and dancing and bouncing and screaming and crying to this tune in one blissful shared experience. Life is never quite the same after you experience that and this tune still does it for me literally every time for 22 years now. People say that they don't appreciate what they have but in the late 90s I *knew* I was living in the middle of something special and soaked up and appreciated every last second. Truly amazing times.
Indeed, and it all started with Platoon movie using this score. I was a metalhead back in the day but this scrow and remix by Ferry, the extended sections add a lot to the buildup into the main section, the type of sounds, it really adds to the drama and melancholy in the song. So well executed, I never skip it on the 90's playlist :)
I've been saying this since that douche started making other producer's tracks as if they were his creation: Ayla is a good example - he labelled as his own. They should have simply called it "Ayla - Tiesto mix" because that's all it was and, it actually didn't change much from the original, sounded the same. He is the David Guetta of Trance music 😂😂😂🤦♂️.
I'm still listening my friend. Can you imagine what was like hearing this song in the end of a live techno set in 2003?It was amazing.Listening to this on a dancefloor,it gives me goosebumps just remembering that moment
3:57 was the point when everything in reality disappears, and it's just you and the music taking to a place deep in your own mind😃 Some might call it a glimpse of Heaven through the window of the Soul. This is real Trance.
Это один из немногих треков, способных вызвать, как минимум, гусиную кожу всякий раз при прослушивании вот уже многие-многие годы. Как максимум, можно пустить слезу счастья от неибейшества этого произведения. Версия Тиесто тоже нравится. ЕПТВОЮ МАТЬ! Что ж за величайший трек!
It doesn't get any bigger than this. William Ørbit at his prime, Ferry Corsten at his prime. It's the collaboration of dreams. It's the defining trance track of the late 90s. And it's stuck in time as being one of the finest trance tracks ever. It's as simple as that.
Bellissimo mix,di un periodo che mi fa tornare in mente quando questa musica ne faceva da padrona.chi ha vissuto quell'epoca può capirmi!Capolavoro❤❤❤classe1975!
There are only a handful of tunes that can actually ruin me and this is top of the list.If you've been to a rave when this comes on you will get it!Its like nothing else!!!It has tears pouring down my face just listening to it sat in my living room!!A special tune that can never be beat imo!The pinnacle of uplifting trance!!
Time can pass. People come and go. New genres form and die out. But this song will always take me to a place no other song can. 2021 is the year mankind will dance to this music once again together.
Pamiętam jak pierwszy raz to usłyszałem w radiu gdzieś pod koniec lat 90, od razu włączyłem nagrywanie na radiomagnetofonie i nagrałem to na kasetę, oczywiście nie cały utwór. Już wtedy wiedziałem, że ten utwór to majstersztyk, arcydzieło, a miałem wtedy dopiero 13 lat. Dziś mam lat 34 i wg mnie utwór w ogóle się nie zestarzał, mało tego, dla mnie jest to najlepszy kawałek trance jaki kiedykolwiek powstał.
I've blown up a few sets of speakers because of this tune. If a set of speakers can handle the Base on full volume then you know you have a good set. Best tune ever made
Never play at full volume, all speakers will be destroyed due to the amplifier clipping and distorting. When the sound quality starts to sound harsh and bad you should always turn down the amplifier to where it sounds crisp and clear again. This can be a costly mistake that plenty of people do trying to squeeze the last little bit of power from their set up. I don't get why some prefer to listen to their music when it sounds terrible.
@@philipneale7597 Lol. I always laugh when people recommend Bose. I'll let you into a little secret that most pro Dj's know and understand. BOSE is an acronym for..... better optional sound equipment. I have a Torque twin fan cooled 800 watt rms mosfet amp. 400 watts per side @ 8ohms. That feeds a pair of old H&H 400 watt rms speakers. Each speaker has an 18 inch driver. I always took the bass spike @ 15% that can occur hence I never really needed to push my speakers to the limit. I would ALWAYS have my amp volumes up to max, restrict the sound going to them at the back of my mixer by 20%, that way - if I got a bit heavy handed on the pre-fade gain, I know I'd never blow my speakers up, have clipping/amps shutting down etc. My H&H's are a bit battered and bruised after 33 years of ownership, they're sat in my cubby hole gathering dust, but they still work and they've paid for themselves hundreds of times over. Dj's these days are more geared towards the likes of FTB. They are a bit pricey, but I'd be interested to know is Celestion make their drivers? My H&H's had Celestion in them. Companies these days tend to use Celestion, make their own cabinets and them rebadge them. Unless they're cheap Chinese garbage.
@@Echo30Mikeok, would you recommend house speakers for me that let's say i would listen to this song on but also Tool..😄 300sqf room, in need of a speaker/sub setup. I know nothing about nothing. Send help
I well remember the first time I heard this. I had split with my first wife and had to move back home til I could sort myself out. I had a stereo with an alarm on it, so that used to wake me for work. Now I've never been a morning person till this track hit me as a wake up one morning.......also I used to go for a drive at night and find a place to chill as my ex was a real mind gamer, and this would be the perfect soundtrack while I was looking up at the sky....... Needless to say I'm still listening to this anthem and it still gives me goosebumps.
Nothing has beaten this since and how could it. It's particularly ridiculous at 4:55 when the beat disappears briefly and it all changes around. My timestamp is no use, you have to hear it in context. If I was Ferry making this I'd be like holy chit man, WTF have I created!
WOW What a great tune, they certainly don't make trance tunes like this, in my opinion Ferry Corsten was ahead of his time when he collaborated with William Orbit to produce this classic, brings back memories certainly.
La primera vez que la escuche fue en el año 2000, tenia 18 años, ahora con 40 encima solamente puedo decir: MAGISTRAL🎶🎵🎼!!!! INMORTAL!!!!! EXCELENTE👍👍👍👍!!!! GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLA!!!!
Can we agree that both this and Tiesto’s remix are good (even though this is slightly better). At least Tiesto’s attempt was 1000000 times better than what he makes today
@@marcoc33 what makes you say that? I’m generally interested in why you think that (general question no contradiction btw). Also I kinda agree. Just he was an absolute brilliant album. Amazing songs but I always felt it’s where he peaked. Songs like “dance 4 life” and “elements of life” never did it for me too much and always seemed liked they were never as good to the expectation of 2004. But that’s just my opinion. However, I understand what you mean about adagio for strings. It was very mainstream compared to other songs and probably was what pushed him to wanting to be more mainstream, being in the spot light kind of thing
@@arjunsk1924 for me, it had commercial success and got played on mainstream radio stations, which got him a new audience. The music that followed, in my opinion was more suited to the new audience and radio.
@@marcoc33 that’s exactly what I thought. Early songs like suburban train, flight 643, lethal industry, etc were long Melodic songs suitable for the ravers (people who enjoyed the journey of the song). The songs after 2004 always appeared to follow more of a “catchy beat” which is what the radio wants. It seems they were possibly an experiment to see how far they could push towards a new audience before completely switching all together. Also tiesto is more of a brand (which has been spoken about in recent times). So I personally think that is was more of a business decision, rather than a direct decision from Tijs (DJ Tiesto) which left to a complete cut off from trance altogether. I’m 17 and it’s sad to see the music industry where it is now, many soulless songs like “dance monkey” which people claim to be the best thing since sliced bread. Everything is too generic, the same and too basic, nothing sparks something new and exciting. The plot of these new songs is basically a basic beat with lyrics based on love story’s, sex, gangsters and fake shit.
@@arjunsk1924 if you haven't already, check out Craig Connelly, Giuseppe Ottaviani and Alex M.O.R.P.H. still some great trance being produced. It's not the same as it was say 96-04 but still very good.
...and STILL listening in 2018. In my mid 40’s now and some choonz just cannot be surpassed. There is nothing like this mix, though I’ve not heard a duff one yet 😎
In remember bouncing around the clubs in Poole and Bournemouth to this so many times, I miss the Opera House, great times , can't beat Trance music lol
summer parties with sea view dancing all night and with the first light just when you wore the sunglasses again and start seeing faces around smiling... all sweat, all fucked up... this went on... blessed times
Ferry Corsten es excelente musico. Pero el que se fajo este tema es william orbit. Lastima que se dedica a producir a otros y no ve el djing con agrado.
