Originally posted by n0bben pretty cheesy vocals, and another standard melodic track. and when PvD remix arrived, people went mad. even though he practically only changed the bassline a little.

The original was already one of my top tracks for 2003, and Paul's "edit" merely added his kick. I don't pretend he did anything more than that.

One of my favorite tracks of the last two years, well above most other epic/anthemic trance during that period.

I think the vocals are different and well done. Among hundreds of rent-a-vocal Justine Suissa clones, it stands out.

Probably the Tell Me Why 2x12"

Though Dreamland might rank about the same, too.

Originally posted by dreamdecks wow! i think cosmic string is fantastic. its one of my faves of all time, i dont think it lets the vandit label down at all!

I don't know. This one is probably just my opinion, because a lot of people seem to like it. Both Marcos tracks and the MvL remixes sound good to me, but not much more than that. I don't think there's anything particularly Vandit-worthy about the release, and actually think Children Of The Sun would be a better choice if I had to pick from the three I singled out.

children of the sun!!! - you are all my children

great track

re: Cosmic String/Just for a Day

which out of those two was the one paul ended most of his sets with throughout the latter half of last year? (and the one tiesto played at both concert events) i always thought it was Just for a Day but heard there was some confusion with labelling.

hmm

many uplifting trance tunes like that can mean something to other people. maybe consider remembering that next time you feel like flaming people for liking stuff?

just a thought

so true - everyone has different tastes unless you work as A & R for a specific label - shopping for a specific sound - everything has its place in EDM. simple - complex - hence the next year of 2005 remixes of older tracks we are sure to see be released.

that one to grow on!

Originally posted by Cobalt The label went on a blitz in 2004. Here are all the vinyl releases from the past year: 031 Paul Van Dyk feat. Second Sun - Crush 032 G&M Project - Sunday Afternoon 033 Terry Bones vs Fred Baker pres. Water Planet - Introspection 034 Agnelli & Nelson - Holding Onto Nothing 035 Paul Van Dyk - Reflections: Special Edition 2x12" 036 Castaneda - Floor Control 037 Malte & Marc De Clarq - No More Rain 038 Nick Lunn & YOMC pres. Techno-Punk - Energize / Saturday 040 Jose Amnesia - The Eternal 042 The Infernal Machine - Realistic 043 Robert Gitelman - Children Of The Sun / As You Wish 044 Second Sun - The Spell 045 Marcos - Cosmic String / Just For A Day

I thought almost all of their releases were great! Vandit is probably my favourite label, and i really dig their sound.

I personally own about half of those releases, and i am very happy with them

Reflections was disappointing in my opinion, but most of the other releases were quite good.

* Paul played an awesome harder version of "Crush" during one of his sets im Eastern Europe (i think it was in the Czech Republic). This would have gone down really well on the release.

* Jose Amnesia - The Eternal would have been MUCH better if they included the Pulser Remix, which easily outshines every other version.

* Marcos - Cosmic Strings / Just For A Day pwns me

Then why not put your 'biased feelings' aside and answer truthfully? If anyone thinks Introspection is a better release than Welcome To The Dance, Synaesthesia, OTAB, Another way, etc. then they are a fool.

quote:

Originally posted by Cobalt but also many tracks that were released earlier on other labels and arguably do not reach the Vandit standard. What do you think?

To be fair this isn't a bad habit they've picked up recently, Vandit have always done this: Be.Angeled, Synaesthesia, Eternity, etc. So I don't think this should be a point supporting the arguements for the demise in their recent reputation as it's something they've always done.


I think Vandit 002 has to be my favourite.

welcome to the dance and be.angeled were great!

ps: hi daz !
