Âme - Rej

Seriously, what is all the fuss about? Why is everyone crazy about this track? I mean, it's not bad, it alright more or less, but I think it's way too overrated. Maybe it's great when dropped live or something, but I never heard it live so I can't say... Can anyone clear it up for me?

I think it's an excellent tune, but the few times I've heard it in a club it's done nothing for me (if that makes sense).

it's all about good placement in the set.. played with good tracks works great

Way too minimal for my taste. I like the Hundred Birds Remix, though.

Heard it as some no nam djs encore tune in Madrid this summer @ 7 Am...

PERFECT!

I'm all about the Wally Lopez remix. It's got that catchy minimal melody and a nice, thick bassline.

I think the mixes are a waste of time... the original's the pick of the litter. The track has a nagging quality to it that holds my attention. I've played it as a warm up during a bar set, transitioning thru into a more melodic proggy sound from minimal... works.

The first time i played it was in the middle of a hi-energy progressive set in Calcutta.. of all places. No one budged from the floor.... and oddly, a few people even began to dance more energetically and hypnotically...

Bear in mind that this was Jan '06... when almost no one in India was playing, or for that matter properly heard "minimal".

So what's the fuss about? I think it's about a fucking great track that's brilliantly produced to boot.

Nicely put.

People will always have differences of opinion, but I think it's reasonable to say that Rej is a special track that rises above the rest. It's groovy, spooky, deep, and beautiful all at once.

I still think it sounded best in your living room with Shane Tuhin, and Pearl around

It's Pearl's record... the first time she played at at Zanzibar on the beach... we all went completely nuts!

...and yeah, the living room's got better acoustics now that the decks are off the floor and the furniture's come in

I know! The first time I was over there helping her set up the decks etc we had it playing...

I saw the record and was like, "YOU HAVE THIS ON VINYL!?"

I never cared for minimal. But then I heard this song. That bassline! I think the melody is very cool. And then I see the creators of this masterpiece say that minmal is garbage and that it will be dead soon, so I'm just a little confused.

I also would be interested in hearing some remixes. I heard one in a Satoshi Tomiie set that was amazing, it was like a violin or another string instrument was playing the melody.

Thats the A Hundred Birds Remix most likely
