Leon - Passionate

A1: Original Mix

- Starts of with a VERY nice intro, then kicking of around the 1.40 mark with an awesome bassline. Then it builds, and builds and builds! The break follows the style in the intro, but we get going soon enough into an energetic ending of the tune. I really like this one, actually I think this is the best mix on the release.

B1: Fire & Ice Remix

- At last some new stuff from Fire & Ice, one of my favourites. You hear the usual Fire & Ice bassline at once, and then you know what to get. An energetic trancer, which is very similar to the original. But it has the wellknown Fire & Ice 'feel and look', which after all is quite nice. Not a top notch remix of the duo, but a decent piece of work after all.

B2: Subsphere Remix

- Then to the more mellow and proggy remix of this tune. I've always been a fan of Subsphere's work (Sunset At Myvatn anyone???), and this tune is another great remix. Not as energetic as the other mixes, but very nice and chilled.

All in all, a wonderful release. Wonder why noone has mentioned it before.

Pretty weak if you ask me. Original is pretty boring and brings nothing new to the table, and it seems like Fire&Ice did another very lazy remix. If you can call it a remix, i hardly even notice any difference.
The best is probably Subspheres remix, but that one aint very exciting either.

L-vee and DJ Fire surely needs to find more inspiration these days, the latest remixes from Fire&Ice have been very weak.. a bit more effort in the remixes wouldnt hurt.. oh well.

Not a bad release at all but Leon Bolier has already produced some better tracks in my opinion (LB - Sunflower, Antares - Rose Garden, Subsphere - Innocence, ...) Btw, Subsphere is just an alias of Leon

there isn't going to be any more effort, because Fire & Ice have called it quits.

I particularly like the Subsphere remix, really nice laidback vibe in that one

I was really excited to hear these tracks, being a big fan of both Leon Boiler and Fire & Ice, but i must say i was very dissappointed with this release. The Fire & Ice remix is one of their worst ever, and original sounds quite average. Subsphere mix is ok but I much prefered Subspheres "solo" releases.

well... it could be due to the fact that i produced the track somewhere in 2003

It just got released in 2005 because of some troubles between record company and publisher.

I'm reworking the Subsphere releases that are in the pipeline atm, because they sound a bit dated too now.
