Sorry KT. Oh, and original by Tasmin Archer is brilliant!

I agree the vocals here are absolutely terrible and I am surprised this is in the top 100 on beatport. The vocals sound like different singers in each version. It does not like it was professionally recorded. The Kenneth Thomas remix is like a glass of fresh water in the desert. It cannot do much but sounds great as a dub if there was one. Perfecto should release some dubs of this remix. Skip your assessment of KT remix is completely off it is clearly the best mix.

Picked up the original Tasmin Archer CD single at a bootsale for 50p this morning coincidentally

Already picked up the Kenneth Thomas rmx. Good vocal from Jan.

Originally posted by KennethThomas Agreed, my mix isnt for the "prog" sets. Its actually the tranciest track ive ever done, fastest as well. I think its 136 maybe 138. I cant really remember cause it was produced 3+ years ago haha... Even back then I barely broke 132bpm even when playing peak trance, but Paul was asking for a "full on trancer" and this was my first project since signing to Perfecto. Im actually really happy with it, there was no parts just the vocal. Im not the most talented person when it comes to music theory but I am very happy with the melodies and harmonies I found to work with the vocals. Theres a Guitar riff that takes off in the second breakdown that I was really stoked with. All in all, I do feel the mixdown could be better, but again, it was years ago and we are always critical on our older productions. Glad it finally is released though

KT,

you mentioned you were finalizing Element 4- Big Brother theme?

ANy sample you could provide? it's been a while and would love to know if that will be released

How about the breakbeat version of Element 4 as used since series 2 or 3 of BB being released
