Such Is Life don't reach the quality of Airwave.. but it's great.. very powerfull beat... nice vocals.. beautifull classical part. It's much better than those Rank 1-sounded ripp-offs like the Mystery - Mystery, DJ Gert - Gimme Some More, David Forbes - Question Must Be Asked (Magica Mix)
I'd say the Mystery track was better than "Such As Life"!

My opinion on Rank 1's stuff:
"Airwave" - Absolute classic, nothing more!
"Black Snow" - Not bad but nothing special.
"Citrus Juicer" - Average track, like the above
"Such Is Life" - Terrible track. Awful production, nasty vocals, feels like two tunes tacked together. My rating 3/10 and that's being generous.
Rank 1 rip offs:
"Paradise Of Love" - Absolute shite! Nothing more to say!
"Mystery" - Not bad at all! Reminds me of "Airwave". Definitely better than the awful "Such Is Life".
I also really like Rank 1's remix of Baby D "Let Me Be Your Fantasy", but apart from that and "Airwave" I don't like the rest much!

Let's see...
Believe it or not, this is the first time I've actually put-up a list of classics... I never imagined how hard it would be! Anyway, nevermind the PvD's and all else that might be missing from my list - every single one of these cannot possibly be disliked!!!
I used *s to mark my very very favourites:
Binary Finary 1998
BT - Flaming June
BT - Mercury & Solace*
Chicane - Saltwater
Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade
Energy 52 - Café del Mar (Original Three 'N One Edit)***
Faithless - Insomnia
Gouryella - Gouryella
Grace - Not Over Yet (Perfecto Mix)
Marc et Claude - I Need Your Lovin (Dark Moon Remix)
M3 - Bailamos
Natious - Amber*
Rank 1 - Airwave (Rank 1 vs Dutch Force Mix)
Salt Tank - Eugina (Michael Woods Remix)**
Sander Kleinenberg - My Lexicon*
Sash - Encore Une Fois
Sasha - Xpander*** [My favourite tune of all time]
Space Brothers - Shine 2000*
Sta*gazers - Is There Anybody Out There? (Warp Brothers Mix) [a bit new I know, but still awesome]
Sundance - Won't Let This Feeling Go (Angelic Mix)
Sureal - You Take My Breath Away (Dj Tiesto Remix)*
Three Drives - Greece 2000*
Tillman & Ries - Bass Fly (Original Mix, Michael Woods Remix)**
Timo Maas - Ubik The Dance
Transa - Supernova
Veracocha - Carte Blanche
William Orbit - Barber's Adagio for Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix)***
It's taken a while to compile, but it was a nice trip down memory lane! Anyone feel brave enough to pick their absolute favourite or is it too hard?
Btw, this is just trance right? No room for Norman Bass and Vinylgroover then...
