it doesn't make the original any worse. that's not what is meant by saying it totally ruins the original. the original is still as good as it ever was. the edit ruins the thing what was special in the original and therefore the edit is CRAP. it doesn't matter that it's pretty much only a new bassline and some effects and some looping, it still sounds bad and the special good feeling of the original is lost. if you cannot understand that then all i have to say is:

i understand your point but fail to understand how you think the feeling is lost in the new version. to each his own i guess... when i heard it for the first time back in april (in a club) i hadn't heard the original for a while & thought it *was* the original while off my face

i suppose on home speakers the feeling may be lost but it sounds mighty fine on a 10 zillion watt clubsystem

well i've only heard it in a club and i instantly heard it was universal nation, but some wank remix/edit, then when the tune progressed a bit i realized it was the montana edit. the original mix is one of my favorite tunes and this edit doesn't even come close to the original and i for one could never mix these 2 up. anyway the montana edit doesn't sound good to me, but the original does. montana lost all the magic in his re-edit IMO and that is a thing i won't change my mind on no matter what you or anyone else says about it.

This Montana remake is pure ownage...

Ok; i agree all credits of this track go to M.I.K.E . But this track is so overplayed ( and IMHO even a bit overrated ) that it's about time some producer made it more spicy. And Montana added the right elements; a phatt bassline and some nice effects.

I hope it will ever be released !

TBH I think the original sounds really dated and simple nowadays.

that's you though. IMO it sounds good, but then again i enjoy the sound of older trance more than the trance of today and i don't like "overproduced" stuff. stuff that is so smooth that it has no edge to it.
