Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar

Okay, so I finally finally heard it.

pfft,


now what exactly was everybody raving about?

omg you just heard it? man you are late
a few years or so :X

I dunno, maybe that massive climactic moment sweeping over mind and body right after the breakdown... the minute that lasts for one second.

Yeah, what was everyone raving about? And where the HELL is the supersaw?!

WOW talk about late! It may not sound AMAZING today but it is one of the most classic trance tracks. You either get it or you don't. The first time I heard it was in Oakenfold's "Tranceport" album when I bought it in 2002 and I thought it was GOLD!

Yeah Cafe Del Mar was definitely ahead of its time.

Which mix did you hear?

lol over 10 years late.

you had to be there to appreciate how great it was, particularly around 98-99 when the 3n1 mix took to a whole new level. If i remember correctly it was rated the best trance track of all time not so long ago.

I like it

it says original....

BUT!! it was from a set or something.



and why the freakin' hell do you guys think i said "finally finally"?

hmmm, maybe it was so that nobody would say "your laaaaaate"

the first time i heard of that song was Moby's version before I was even into edm, but it helped push me in the right direction

the kid paul mix of cafe del mar (i belive the origional mix is acutlaly called the kid paul mix, since kid paul and cosmic baby wrote it) is very mellow, the three n one mix is probably the most often played/canned of this track. on of my favocites although i really really really like the nalin and kane mix as well as the solar stone mix. it truly is a classic track. the numerous remixes offer a bit of everything for everybody. i think there is over 20 mixes of it.... you can check discogs tho.

I've told this a million and one times before but Original Mix isn't Kid Paul Mix even if it is commonly known as being it. Original Mix was never released but was played once or twice by Cosmic Baby in his DJ sets in late 91 or so. Kid Paul & Cosmic Baby dumped it soon after but due requests from their closest friends they decided to dig it up and rebuild it.

In late 92 they finally finished working with their own views about the track and were wondering about a release.. Original Mix is like a combination of Kid Paul Mix & Cosmic Baby's Impression, both using elements from it. Anyways, before the release was reality they got 2 more mixes, Kid Paul made another rebuilt version (Peace Mix) and an "outside" remix from Ralf "1/2 of Cygnus X & Sven V�th's partner in crime" Hildenbeutel (Porte de Bagnolet Mix). The release pretty obviously came out in 1993 on Eye Q, founded and ran by Sven V�th, Heinz Roth and Matthias "Brainchild & other 1/2 of Cygnus X" Hoffmann, and the rest is history....

As for what version meneedit heard, i can only wonder as there are several mislabeled mixes out there titled as Original Mix. I have 2 strong guesses for it to have been either Three'n'One Remix or Nalin & Kane Remix as those have most often been mislabeled as Original in DJ sets. Kid Paul mix might be it too but it hasn't been played in about any sets for about 10 years. I can be 99.99% sure it isn't the real Original Mix anyway.

I have posted all the more or less official mixes of Caf� Del Mar in several threads about this track so dig'em up yourself.

Ahh yes, Three'n'One remix features in that movie while 'Moff' and another guy ('Jeff' from "Coupling") were talking about Star Wars at the after parties.

never really liked it. there is too much of an energy difference between the break/breakdown and the rest of the track. too tech-trancy moving into too melodic, and then back again. dont get me wrong, i love marco v, but for cafe del mar, i prefer the three n one mix.


razzi.

Marco V remix > *

But i like Three 'N One Remix too.

Those two remixes are some of the best tracks ever made/remixed.

Absolute classic. I can't believe you haven't heard it yet. It still gets regular radio play today.

Some of the mixes suck balls but others are awesome

listen to the Marco V remix. that owns.

i still listen to this track all the time. maybe if u heard it back in 99', youde have a different opinion.

my opinion though, is that trance was the best it ever was from 98' - 02'

EDIT: Trance Allstars - Go[ATB Club mix] is really good when f-ed up

Trance Allstars- the first rebirth.... great track

as for cafe del mar. i really like the three n one mix, btu its way over played. dont mind the cafe del marco V but its not close to my fav, kid paul mix, or peace mix or whatever its called is up there with the nalina nd kane as well as the solar stone remix as my favs

energy 52 cafe del mar?
