Best version of 1998?

There have been many versions over the years, but I can honestly say that PvD's remix is the best. The remix blurs the line between uplifting trance and goa trance, and the breakdown midway through the track that leads into the massive arpeggio is what really makes his remix stand out

I agree, PVD did it best! There were a few decent remixes but most aren't very memorable, to be honest.

My favorite versions:

1. Paul Van Dyk Remix
2. Neo & Farina (Binary Refined)
3. Matt Darey Remix
4. Alex MORPH Remix

I only heard it live once and it was J00F playing the Protoculture Remix. It's cheesy on it's own IMO but man did the crowd react positively to it.

This is a pretty respectable ranking for a top 4 list.

I definitely see this sounding better than it does live.

Talla 2XLC made a remake under his own alias in 2024. I heard a DJ play it live in Camden Town and it sounded incredible.

I think this is also the only time I've heard it played out live.

The Gouryella remix is probably the version that gives me the most nostalgia, given it was on one of the first mix CDs I ever bought, but the Matt Darey one is probably the best. Has a touch of his Li Kwan sound to the production and I always liked the little counterpoint he added over the top of the main riff.

Interesting pick. Perhaps my views on other remixes got a bit jaded compared to the PvD remix, but Matt Darey does have that euphoric sound that still sticks out to this day.

Aside from the original, I liked the Kaycee Remix the best. I didn't really like any other remixes of the track.
