You're one of these greedy little sods that trance seems to be over-flowing with. Download everything from P2P, never bother learning about the music you're stealing, start putting artists out of business because you're too selfish to pay them for the hours of enjoyment their music is giving you. |
rebel and cobalt just explained the reason why cafe del mar is a classic...
and imo...
oliver lieb and nalin & kane mixes are the best...

| Originally posted by RebeL9 +1 and the fact that it was originally released back in 1993 it stood the test of time. that is what makes a classic. I doubt that many of the tunes made today could do that. |

I like the Three in One mix myself. A great, classic song.
Harald Bluechel aka Cosmic Baby about Energy 52 and "Cafe del Mar"
Paul & me met the first time in 1989 at a club, where he did one his first DJ-sets. We became friends and started an intensive creative exchange, while working on a vision, we shared: Transforming our love & enthusiasm to the starting techno-house into truely independent, significant musical statements. Together and as solo-artists.
A great exchange of abilities began: I became his �musical teacher�, he showed me the structural elegance of aesthetical efficiency� in futuristic dance track-arrangements.
In Summer 1990, we went to Ibiza. Our favourite place to be was the �Cafe del Mar�. There, we enjoyed the evening-hours in company with beautiful music and people, who where quite different from the mainstream-club-crowds.
In Autumn 1992, Paul returned from another Ibiza-vacation. He told me about a certain piece he listened at the �Cafe del Mar�, he was electrified by. We found out, that it had been music by Wim Mertens, a composer, I highly adore.. We decided, to take his �Struggle for pleasure� as inspiration for a very special piece to create.
Between September and December we worked highly concentrated and acribicly on the composition. Our common goal: every entire detail of the piece supposed to become �excellent� - no �that`s already o.k.�- compromises to be made!
Finally in January 1993, we produced the two original versions at the studio with the engineer Jens Woynar. Afterwards we were in serious negotiations with �Eye Q�-records. In the end, they oddly realeased �Cafe del Mar� without having our permission: so, we went to cord, the record had to be withdrawn from the shops. A big dilemma for us: the piece became THE anthem right after beeing played by the DJs for the first time � the people couldn`t buy the record, though...
Since �Energy 52� is Paul`s project, the piece �Cafe del mar� however composed by the two of us, we decided, that Paul alone should be responsible for all following negotiations. Four years later (!) the Hamburg based label �Superstition� made the first �official� and authorized realease, followed by a bunch of further remix-releases, which all became highly successful. Unfortunately, the record company labeled the wrong credits in the beginning, which was corrected after some time.
The correct credits are:
-for the original versions (kid paul mix , cosmic baby`s impression): �composed & produced by Paul M. and Cosmic Baby�
-for the following releases: �composed by Paul M & Cosmic Baby�, produced by Paul M.�.
Quality tune!
I've only heard the Marco V remix and if that's the slighest like the original, it's very overrated.
How do you guys think it compares to Age of Love?
And someone brought up what would be some modern classics. We won't know until we still hear it playing a few years from now.
