Love that breakdown in John O'Callaghan - Choice Of The Angels
Random tune spamming

I think I have drifted so far away from that kind of "uplifting" "trance" that I can only consider just about EVERY track in the set immediately above to basically sound exactly the same.
How much of a choice do you have when you do this kind of set? Or has it come so far that you really only can pick tracks that all use the same sounds if you want to stick to the uplifting genre?

There's much more out there, but most stuff sounds too generic for me or lacks musical quality within the production, no good melodies or nice plucks/riffs etc 
"uplifting" has been a shit description since forever. most of the best cheesy trance tunes have had sad, melancholic melodies. the reason "uplifting" is rubbish today isn't the presentation or its shameless lack of subtlety, it's the terrible melodies. might as well bang your dick on the keyboard.
^Nothing new for me, always has been a search for nice melodies, also in other genres. Still find them though.
I hope it will be released some time:
this is the best (not) uplifting track i've heard in recent years. even though it's a complete ripoff of that 80s song.

To me that's six minutes waiting for a melody that's not really great. So I guess it's much longer ago for me, probably too long to even start searching which it was.
Value your build-ups! 
I really like this unreleased 10 minutes long remix by Southmind.
It was hard to find, but I found it so who wants it too can pm me:
I like to think this should have been one of the famousest Dutch uplifting trance tracks from the glorious early noughties:
Andr� van den Bosch as Tony Walker: "Field of Joy", on Tsunami (2000)
I think the Ferry Corsten remix on the B side may well be one of his best. Naturally it uses the main theme but it presents such a different atmosphere - melancholy more than the energy of the original perhaps?
Original mix:
The bastard just keeps going for 10+ minutes - it's just a bit more than just the standard buildup-break-climax
Awesome track Jeroen And nice support!

This one is quite lovely! 
Out now, hope you like this one! 
Great track by this German collab:
One I really enjoy lately, especially from 1:50 min, beauty:
I used to think Akira Inc. - Superstring was the only track based on the lead from the original Cygnus X track that came between the Cygnus X version and the Rank 1 Remix from 2000.
This below however must be what caused the word "blatant" to be invented. Acidphase - Superstring, produced by Cyrus & The Joker on Time Traxx 1998. Quite cheeky to put "produced by..." on the record's label when all you do is decrease the bpm and layer some new drums over the original.
Nice remix:
It's nice that they didn't just copy the strings melody of Armin's original Tribal Feel mix but applied some variation in the break and also to the synth lead, but other than that this seems to me an example of one of the things that's wrong about a lot of modern arminish trance today: it's fairly bog standard - standard kick drum that's too strongly present throughout the track, standard sounds, drumrolls, patterns. And I think ultimately the vocals do not fit entirely with the lead.
Not sure if there's any point in asking why a another remix package was deemed necessary.
