well first of all they aren't the SAME song. Xpander was released AT LEAST 2 years ago, although most likely longer since it was one of the first songs that got me into trance. They do sound remarkably similar tho but I cant say that Rank 1 ripped Sasha off. They have similar synths tho but I would argue they are different enough to give props to both, the structure is quite different. Rank 1s being more of a build up song while Sashas it more of a breakdown. Which do I like more, Xpander, not question. Sashas a genius...late/

xpander was out first im sure of it, and yeah they do sound very simular, i love both tho!

Yeha... they do sound the same
but as biznology said- that just cuz they have similer synths, the structure of the tracks is likely different

Hmm, excellent deduction. I thot this was a Rank 1 track, but I guess it is Airwave, either way what I said still stands...late/

I don't how anyone could think these 2 tracks sound anything remotely like each other. Personally I thought Airwave "Mysteries Of Life" was a rather poor track.

Mysteries Of Life Is Crap, full Stop .

first off they are not the same song. XPander is a classic and can't be compared to any other song. XPander came out first and although Mysteries of Life sounds similar to XPander it is not the same trax.

For real. Xpander is one of my favourite tracks of all time. When the fuck is Sasha going to come to T.O.?

I personally think Sasha is one of the best producers around... his work is SO wide ranged... on the Xpander EP theres 4 tunes... Xpander, Baja. Belfunk & Rabbitweed... all four are completely different style tracks made to the highest quality...

i respect producers that have wide variety in their work a lot more than a producer who only makes one kind of music thus me hating ferry corsten... grrr
