Afaik the original was never released. The Kid Paul Remix and Cosmic Baby's Impression are therefore as close to the original as you can get.

Someone here will probably have the full story, at least I hope so.

thx.

just found this forum entry: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...ad/t-85110.html ("Which Cafe Del Mar?).

but i found it through google not through tranceaddict.

go figure.

This has been asked a million times before and i've told this as many times.

Original Mix (6:22) from around 1991 does exist but for some reason was never officially released on CD or 12". I don't have it either.. anymore, i once had it on tape tho but i've lost it. Paul 'Kid Paul' Moormann and Harald 'Cosmic Baby' Blüchel dumped the original soon after it was made but due to demand from friends and fellow DJs after they had heard the original somewhere somehow, Paul & Harald were almost forced to dig it up. So they reworked it and made their own views of it and finally after a pretty long while.. Café Del Mar mixes got out in early 1993, Kid Paul's & Cosmic Baby's mixes backed up with Kid Paul's alternate version, Peace Mix and Ralf Hildenbeutel's Porte de Bagnolet Mix. Soundwise Kid Paul Mix is closest to original even if not exactly the same. So not surprisingly, Kid Paul Mix is nowadays known as the original.

Three'n'One Remix of which many falsely think as the original, came out in 1997 along with mixes from Solar Stone, Universal State Of Mind, Josh Abrahams (Aussie release only) and Oliver Lieb. Ivan Mix is also by Lieb and is a bit darker take on it.

In 1998 came out my fav version, Nalin & Kane Remix, flipped with Hybrid's breaks version.

1999 came out the 'US Mixes' by Deepsky and Pure Nova & DJ Eyal Project which both were quite disappointing IMO, was expecting much more from Deepsky.

In 2000 got limitedly released Michael Woods and Humate trancey ambient mixes, both getting bigger releases a few years later, in 2002.

As mentioned, in 2002 got Michael Woods' splendid trancey ambient mix finally released officially, backed up with new mixes from John '00' Fleming and Marco V and Three'n'One delivered their subtly updated '97 mix.

2003 got very limitedly released Kid Loops Remix (again for those damn Aussies only ) which is very similar to his mix of L.S.G. - Netherworld. The new remixes (Justin F, Kenny Hayes, Neo & Barbwire) and remakes (Fragma - Man In The Moon *cough*) released since then aren't worth mentioning.. they are all rubbish. Below a list of all mixes i've bothered to dig up.

Yeah, i actually might stink a bit because i've been doing some gardening lately. But i didn't think it would get that far. You must have a dog's sense of smell or something. Hey, now i got it why you are always snooping everyone's butts..

I never liked that one, not even a bit, it's simply horrible IMO. But i guess it wasn't released officially then.. i remember seeing whitelabels of it here and there sometimes last year.

you're so funny

whew!

now that the dust has settled ... what are good on-line sources for trance in general?

i just purchased 2 cds with only cafe del mar remixes and am considering another on ebay with only red sun rising remixes ... but are there mp3 download sites that lean toward trance?

i saw a lange remix of red sun rising on walmart's music download site (of all places!) but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of other sites?

Kudos for the detailed history. This was one of my original "hey what the fuck is that" tunes, back in the day.

I wonder what the connection to some early SFX may be... I believe it is Hypnotica, or Reaching Out, or maybe Butterfly Trip that sounds very much like Cafe Del Mar at some points... if you enjoy the old trance styles, do yourself a favour and dig up early works by SFX. The group later re-arranged as a name you'll probably know: Astral Projection

see here for another remix by a young australian composer done on a PC no less.
