is this the same version that was played in the video?
the dub mix of gift of life sounds a bit closer to that

have to be honest (despite everyone around here seeming to really like this tune) .... I don't really like this track... it sounds to cliche "trance" ... also sounds kinda like a video game.. the beginning's not too bad . .(I like the synth line at the beginning) but the voice is wayyy to damn tacky.. sounds like a eurodance (or perish the thought almost early 90's dance music) track when that happens... I'd give it like a 6 out of 10 .. but if everyone else likes who cares... someone is enjoying it which is what matters...

yeah i just like the high ppitch sound of the main seguence in the beat...like in the video i dont care to much for the Vocals either....with there was some song that kept that underground feel like that through out the song with some nice buildups and breakdowns

Ahhh.... the now imfamous glowstick track. We've all been searching for it for months now and finally it's here. With all the hype surrounding it, it's no wonder it can't live up to expectations. The best part of the song is showcased in the glowstick video, that high pitched thumping beat. I think a lot of us were expecting something harder, something darker. The vocals aren't bad in this maybe just out of place, they sound like the vocals in Kai Tracid tracks. There seems to be some odd volume shifts in this track too... bad rip maybe?

I wasnt in the "hype" of the glowstick video (cause i didnt care LoL)

So i am new to this song and i like it!

There are some nice parts in it... probably a keeper
I give it a 7

alrite!!! the glowsticks song haha.. the song is so good at the first 5 mins... What happen to the rest of it?? it's like 2 different songs

thx swamper for giving me credit on helping to find this track :P

I was somewhat disapointed in this track too... like most others i expected something darker & harder- but i still like it.
also... maybe this was a bad rip like someone said. you'ld think so since there is this big hissing sound throughout it. Even so, a bad rip is better than NO rip, so i am not complaining

a few are mentioning a 'dub' mix of this... errr- where did you hear of it?

Posted by Kurve on Jan-29-2001 21:13:

well honestly i like that dark in the beginning...but the tune does soundlike it was made by some amatures...doesnt mean its bad its just there some small sounds missing to make it less monotoned in sound!...

Volume up & down

Very cool song, but the volume that is going up & down is REALLY annoying. First part is the best, second part sucks a bit.

Sorry but im another one of those that dont particularly like this tune... everyone's been saying in the forums how good it is (i havent got the vid) and to be honest it soundz a bit un-proffesional. It sounds like its been thrown together using two tunes with crossfadin etc. The beepy bits in the background are cool though. Maybe if it had a makeover by someone it could be a stompin tune!

Peace

surge meth

fuckin sweet...thanx for finding it. i never cared too much for piano happy shit, but, in reply to the unprofessional comment...i hear ya, but its got enough good to work with...besides, im still reeling from finally gettin it...re-worked 'sonar' werx well when used properly dammit

It sounds really good as the last track in the mix... Makes people leave the venue with the good feelings. The other effect is that it makes them feel sleepy, but who cares, when you are finished

live mix

This was taken from a live mix...its not the original track...its looped back during the buildup a few times and the levels are played with...and the dub has a much smaller vocal sample.

Just to let people know...The version on this site is not the "real" version... That's just surge meth messing around with it. That's where you get the volume shifts and all that. I dont believe it will ever get an official release from what I hear. Anyway, just wanted to fill you all in.
