Classic of the day: Sugar Rush



Man With No Name - Sugar Rush

Among the many unforgettable tunes which Martin Freeland aka Man With No Name released in the mid 90s, there was one which never got much attention but which in my opinion is one of his best.
Sugar Rush appeared on the Moment of Truth album released in 1996. This album is still considored as one of the best albums ever released in the trance history. I still play it once in a while and it still sounds just as good as when I once bought it. Every tune is unique and you can clearly her that there are elements in the tunes which many other producers copied.
Sugar Rush is one of those tunes. The simple melody and the raw acid lines makes up for a powerful trancer.

There were two versions released of the tune. One more melodic version (Refined mix) and one more tougher version with more acid elements (raw cane mix).
As with most other Man With No Name tunes, there were never any remixes released of Sugar Rush.

Listen closely, they don't do them like this any more.


SAMPLES:

Sugar Rush (Refined mix)

I remember this song form Oakenfold's "Fluoro" CD, love it! Is there more melodic goa like this?? I've heard plenty of previews of goa tracks on Beatport, but haven't heard anything that sounded melodic to me, just a bunch of bass and acidy noises. I tend to like my music warm and melodic...sorry i'm a noob at Goa, i'm an epic and progressive addict. I guess that "Raw Cane" mix is what i've typically heard Goa sound like, that sound doesn't appeal to me...

haven't heard it! must check it out! and btw Rebel9, these classic of the day topics are a great idea, so keep them coming!

MWNN's more recent productions don't do much to me but his older stuff from mid to later 90s works like a charm to me and Sugar Rush is among my favs.

Am I the only one who much prefers the modern sound that everybody seems to be complaining about? Is it just nostalgic value? I haven't been into EDM for that many years, I guess maybe you had to 'be there'.

I still find these topics pretty interresting though. Keep em coming!

No, you're one of very many. It's only natural that a lot of people prefer the modern sound. And I think it's more about taste than the "you had to be there".

nah then we would get flooded by people raving about as the rush come is the greatest classic ever!111

the idea of these threads of mine is to push forward really good old tunes which many today don't think much of and to present them to the people who recently got into trance.
