This is such an awesome trance remix!!

and what is it that ti�sto does with this record that make it sound so nice (besides pitching it up apparantly..)

i dont have any info on this besides that the 'original' of the cover is from the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

Great song, heard it the first time in the movie Donnie Darko, and now a remix, woei!

yeh I just heard it, nice remix, will the CDS feature this remix? If not, any vinyl release date?
Only think I don't like about it is that it's this huge happy trance with an anthem feel, and the original is just so sad and depressing, that I think a sad melody would have been better... but oh well, this is for clubbing purposes..
btw Donnie Darko was one of the best movies I've seen last year!

yes it was quite good cuz it was from the start of 2001 when pulsedriver was still making good stuff and wasn't yet the cheese master

yea ... pulsedriver used to be quality. why did he let the money

get to his head? same with dj sammy, he's perfectly capable of

making quality tunes, it's just that he'd rather appeal to the

mainstream market. *sighs*

I dont think the one need the other, i can't say the remix beat and build etc isnt nice, just think if the two stayed separate they would of been better, the vocals didnt need it.

I hope so, it's fecking class. I first heard it while watching Donni Darko but kinda forgot about it. Then a few months later Radio 1 are playing it left, right and centre. Good stuff, I cant wait to hear Andy's remix.

the grayed out mix is awful, not what I was expecting at all, would love an infusion mix or someone of a similar style

Surprised to learn cass did a white label of this over 5 months ago this year using the original tears for fears samples

Dotvinyl got a restock in

Didn�t like it the first time i heard it but the vocals really grow on me

i really enjoy it now..

Grayed out mix was a real disappointment for me.

Posted by Unreal on Dec-24-2003 21:09:

I have to agree, his is the biggest pile of shite i have heard in ages.
The original track is great but this remix is very poor- the production is shoddy and the overall mix is beyond amature.
how this Grayed Our person is getting full releases on such high profile tunes is beyond me !
This just drives mw on more to finish my own remix.

Mind you, I would love to hear a gariel & dresden remix

No disrespect to you, bren f

but this isn't just some "Grayed out guy". He has alot of talent and NEW producer's need to pay some fucking respect.

I like the remix and obviously so did tiesto, or he wouldn't of played it.

thanks, andy gray still rocks.

Andy Gray has a tremendous amount of talent and is of course somewhat of a legend, and is capable of much better then this remix which I found very dissapointing. Esp considering the amount of potential this tune has remixing-wise.
Sorry but its still a thumbs down from me.

In my opinion anyway

Posted by m0sh on Dec-26-2003 07:44:

original with drums for me
i dont like the grayed mix

and bern i didnt expect such a comment from u
