PS. ibiza sun is quite nice in the melodical stakes, but imagine if ferry corsten had done this track back in 99 with equipment costing 1/3rd of what you have spent. the production would probably be less tight, but it would have had more emotion because of his musical ability being so much more artistic than yours.
