Mark Otten - Tranquility (Original Mix) has always been my favorite song, well ever since I first heard it in 2004.

I decided to make a dancier version of the song.

Here's the link: http://soundcloud.com/lazyrussian/m...cocaine-bootleg

Mark Otten - Tranquility (Lazyrussian's 'Oh Yeah, Cocaine' Bootleg) by lazyrussian

Track Name: Mark Otten - Tranquility (Lazyrussian's 'Oh Yeah, Cocaine' Bootleg)

Live mash-up of the following three songs:
[Melody]: Mark Otten - Tranquility (Original Mix)
[Bass]: Sia - The Girl You Lost to Cocaine (Sander van Doorn's Remix)
[Drums]: Soul Renegades - Oh Yeah (Instrumental Mix)

This is the final version of the song. It took quite a bit of time to string it together. It was mixed live with a bunch of effects thrown in.

All comments and criticisms are very much appreciated!

*2 Month Bump* =p

Still curious for third-party opinions. I've gotten positive reviews from friends, but ya'll know how much you can trust those? =p

i used to really like "mark otten - tranquility" as well though i don't listen to trance anymore.

first of all it needs intro percs for mixing in and out of. it just went straight to the melody line. secondly i think in some moments the gating of the melody was totally unnecessary, i understand that you wanted to give it a different feel to it and make it a bit more interesting but i think you end up losing some of the meat of the original by slicing it up too much.

also is there supposed to be some sort of lyrics to the sia track? i thought sia was a female vocalist, so i'm curious as to why you mashed it up with the other two tracks if you weren't going to include the vocals- then again i've never heard SvD remix so i have no bearing as to what it's *supposed* to sound like

the arrangement is quality, my main gripe is the lack of an intro perc pattern to mix in. easily fixable by looping an 8 to 16 bar pattern for a 64 measures though.

I like this mix. It was interesting enough that I want to listen to it more then twice. Good work.

Keep them rolling, man.

Can you imagine the world without the music.

@TranceLover007: Glad you really like it. Download it and enjoy!

@Omega_Blue I hear you on the lack of an intro, but I really just wanted to ump into the tune. I usually hate long intros on songs - I always (unconsciously) scroll my ipod wheel past the 25% mark of song to get right into the melody, so I created this song with that in mind. I strictly used the drums from the Sia/SvD song since I don't care for the lyrics too much, but I really love the drums!

Thanks very much for the comments, I really appreciate it.

Anyone else have an opinion? I love feedback
