loved the original, but this remix ripped the heart right out of it and substituted it with the "in-style" trance synths of today.

is that perhaps a good thing considering how much older the original is... i mean is that sort-of the point of an updated remix... to make it sound "fresher"?

no, because the sounds of the original are much more interesting and form a much warmer, deeper soundscape. In this remix, all those sounds got converted into generic modern trance synths - what's the point of that? I'm not opposed to the idea of remixing such a great track, but the remix should be good. This one, i'm just not feeling it.

okay i think we agree on the point of the remix... just you feel ben gold didn't do a good job at updating the original.

the original is a lovely track... orko told me he heard menno de jong drop it last week, that's pretty cool.

yeah, menno has a tendency to drop old trance tunes in his sets - i personally like that. Him playing the thrillseeker's remix of saltwater during ASOT 300 -

only one i know of... granted ben gold is on the perfecto roster it looks like so who knows.

Wel, Jon O'Bir played it couple of weeks ago in Illusion,Belgium and I liked it very much. Not that bad remix imo

But who said "Diamondback" needs to be updated? Even if for someone it doesn't fit in a liveset with new tunes, it should be reworked in other way / style. This current tendency to remix / remake almost every trance classic is sick :<.

+1

I can't understand why the great majority of trance music fans thinks that a liveset should be full of ID-ID tracks, and when incidentally a DJ drop a well-known tune or even classic (!), then he's a noob.

i certainly didn't, but it happens... and quite often lately it seems.

i, personally, love it when jocks like oakey do this... throw down some classics they are known for... nothing like a nice 2-3 hour set from oakey and have him drop "piledriver" towards the end of the night.

personally, i don't care if the songs are filled with old songs or id-id tracks... just as long as they flow and sound good. but that's pretty subjective now isnt it...
