But, after reading your comments and listening to the song again, I can DEFINITELY see how one might conclude that Armin ripped off Tiesto (or, if you want to be more optimistic about it, was "inspired by" Tiesto). Still like the tune though.

and how exactly does the track sounding like Adagio For Strings have anything to do with Tiesto?

How is it funny? Tiesto didn't make Adagio For Strings, he remixed it so how can he rip off Tiesto?

No need to be a dick about it.

Well, obviously we're not talking about Armin ripping of Samuel Barber's original work. We're taking about the similar sound to Tiesto's Adagio remix. No worries.

I thought it sounded more like Ferry's old mix but to each their own

Does this track contain a bass?cos i only hear a bass when the pads come in...anyway..i think armin could do a lot better than this improfessional remix of Souvenir De chine...

yeah exactly

It's full of nice ideas, I especially like the pads and that electric piano/bell kinda sound that plays the melody before the distorted lead comes in.

I'd say it lacks a bit of drive too, but that's just what many of Armin's productions are like now... I thought the same thing about Communication Part 3 - great tracks, but there's an energy-dampening element about them that puts me off them. Not sure if it's the kick he uses (the one he ALWAYS uses now) or something to do with the percs, but yeah there's something lacking.

Overall though it's a nice track and makes a good anthem.

nothing special, but quite nice
my score: 6.5/10

said before a thousend times in the unknown track section, when we didnt knw it was armin who made this. even not-into-trance-peepz say it sounds like adagio ... anyway, nice track. 2 bad there are the many topics on this, it needs to stay focussed and centred ... and i started first lol:P

Quoting Lucien Foort House was ooit house. Een gevoel, een scene, een stroming die recalcitrant was. Waar je 's middags in Outland Records, Basic Beat, Hotsound of Kareltje netjes op je beurt wachtte om platen te scoren die je in de nacht ging horen. Waar als Roderick & Anne Fleur gingen hockeyen, Jack stoer verklaarde: “Laat er house zijn en housemuziek werd geboren”. Waar ongelovigen toch predikten “God made me funky, and I’m glad He blessed me this way”.

I'm enjoying it. there a few spots in there where it seems like something went wrong, but overall not too bad. i'd say 8/10. When i first heard it , it reminded me of something from Marco V more than Adagio....but i can see a resemblence [but then again, you can pretty much say that about any track that has an edgy bassline and orchestra in the background]. but overall decent track

i'm loving it
8/10
