Union Jack - Papillon (Remixes)

Noticed this from this thread

1 Papillon (Healium remix)
2 Papillon (Terra Ferma JKL remix)
3 Papillon (Cai remix)
4 Papillon (original mix - remastered)

Based on the samples they're all decent, but not good enough that i'd buy any of them. Healium remix has potential but is too boring, Terra Ferma JKL remix sounds surprisingly epic/prog trancy, Cai remix doesn't offer anything really. The original mix has been remastered for some reason even though it was released originally two years ago I think. Anyway, it's the best version but is ruined by those stupid vocals IMO. The best version is missing, which is the Instrumental Mix. Thankfully I've bought that when it was first available.

Nice to see Union Jack and Platipus coming back even though this release was a disappointment for me. Not complete rubbish though, so maybe they'll release something I'll like in the future.

Nice. I forgot to check on that Retrospective thread I made.

Damn this whole package is fucking win to me. Their is something unique to each remix, the Cai is very trippy and Union Jack JKL remix is so dark and moody. Healium has a pretty solid mix as well.

Why does the Original already have a remastered version *sigh*

i was confused at first. Forgot Claudio Guisanni was back with another alias. He should stick to Terra Ferma imo.

Yes guys, Terra Ferma is back... that is fabulous news... and more wonderfully melodic tracks are coming soon, possibly an album!

When he moved to Miami and launched himself into dimensional music, I thought this would be the end of Terra Ferma... but the magic is back! He is a legend.

Terra Ferma's music is very melodic but totally non-cheesy, with beautiful depth. It takes you on a profound, magical trip. It is poetry. At least that's how I feel his music.

The first album "Turtle Crossing" is more in the early Platipus sound of the mid 90s, while his second album "The Adventures Of..." reflects more the year it was released in (2000).

As to pick best tracks, it's hard, they're all fantastic and quite different from each other. Get them all, you will not be disappointed. Melodic trance doesn't get any better than that.

Peace,

Jerome

Turtle Crossing and The Adventures of... albums are beautiful pieces from start to finish. It shows how trance albums should be programmed, which many producers over the years have struggled with or have no idea how to accomplish a flow; instead just a bunch of random anthems and maybe a couple half-assed downtempo tracks.

Both have been released on Porcupine as well.
