Discovering classics late....
Hey everyone!
As everyone knows there are hundreds and hundreds of beautfiul tracks out there, so you basically can't just know them all...
I was listening to di.fm channel today at work (the vocal trance channel, that is) and I heard this one track that TOTALLY made my day.
I know it's a classic and it was very popular by the time I started to listening to real trance, but for some reason I never got to listen to it.
The one track I speak of is
Solid Sessions - Janeiro (Armin van Buuren Remix)
I could kill myself for missing this tune... especially since it's already 5 years old, but I am SOOOO happy I discovered it in the end^^.
But this has happened to me before, and to one of my friends,too... he heard Verachocha - Carte Blanche for the first time at Trance Energy this year 
Has anyone else had situations like this?
Happens all the time... Better late than never 
Yup, I've done this countless times. You hear this awesome tune, do some reseach, and...
Fuck, it's six years old? 
It's a never-ending quest.
If everyone in the world stopped making music today, I could still spend my lifetime catching up.
You should check out the remixes
Recently found:
Hollis P. Monroe - I'm Lonely > It's like Emo House but if you take it for what it is it's a classy track.
Sister Bliss - Sister Sister > Really gets the most out of the notes and loads of layering/ cool sounds.
Jean Jacques Smoothie - 2 People (Mirwais Extended Mix) or (Mirwais Radio Edit) > Great loop, cool fx - suits the 'Smoothie' Name!
Aretha Franklin - Respect (Jonathan Peters Remix) > Real bangin' house remix of Respect. House that's hard but not Hard-House (e.g. Stonebridge - All Nite Long (Stonebridge Mix) and Taiko - Echodrop (Jonesy Remix)!
I'm stuck at the turn of the millenium and proud of it.

believe it or not guys.. but
energy 52 - cafe del mar (marco v remix) was only discovered by my ears about a coupel weeks ago
yes shoot me please
If you're bored and want to listen to samples of some older tunes head over to the Identified Tracks Forum on TA.
...chances are if someone went to the trouble of cutting it out of a liveset in order for it to get ID'd then it should be somewhat decent (most of the time)

I just heard Daft Punk - Musique for the first time today
maaaan that's half the fun with trance and EDM in general. Since it's not very public and mainstream you're forced to look around on the internet and search for old ass stuff and used record shops. And you like hear a track that you think is the most amazing piece of art you'll EVER hear, and the next week you hear a new track that just completely blows you away more then the last! MAN I LOVE TRANCE!!!!!!
sry, just got a little carried away there.

Well, how I feel about Janeiro is...
James Holden Remix - The sound of seagulls doesn't really do anything for me, neither does the non-sensical guitar riff. I guess the vocal creates atmosphere but it's looped in a really annoying way, kinda like gurgling mouthwash in the morning. Overall I'd say it's a bunch of random sounds, which (other than the seagulls) are nice but are badly used.
Armin Mix - Ugh, it's so boring. The supersaw swamps the whole mix, sounds really muddy and monotonous, the singing isn't anything special either. Drags along.
Original Mix - Pretty decent to chill to, I reckon on a sunny beach this would be nice. Background music otherwise.
And in regards to Cafe Del Mar, the Original Three 'n' One can't be touched. It has a unique character and feel that's lost in the remixes.
The best mix of Janeiro is the Lemon8 Mix.
An added bonus of discovering old classics is that they are cheaper Been scouring the back catalogues myself ever since those scabs at Beatport increased their UK prices

It's hard not to, since many gems are older than most of us are
Yeah it happens all the time to me.
