A question about "Join Me"
View this Thread in Original format
Eugene
"Join Me" is a very famous song, one of the best trance tunes to emerge from Europe, and recently (in 2001) it was released in Germany as:
Lightforce - Join Me

But, it seems that the song had already existed before as:
Anastasia - Join Me
Vectrex remix, etc. I've heard that the song was written in Scandinavia...

Can someone clarify the history?

the song came from a rockband
HIM - Join Me

Yes, this one is really cool. I have heard about two HIM remixes.

Dunno about you, but my vinyl says Lightforce - Join Me. So I'm gonna believe my circular piece of plastic...

I'm gonna have a little look into this though - should be interesting.:D

I'm pretty sure it was also released as :

The Driver Project - Join Me
Dj O'Callaghan
If I can remember the only bit of info I know on the track apart from it being a wicked track, it was realeased on Slinkys label in the UK as Lightforce - Join me
DJRavemonkey
I know it as Lightforce - Join Me and that came out 1999 or 2000
Dj O'Callaghan
Anastasia to my knowledge is a project involving Matt Darey I'll look into it but I'm sure its one of his projects I might be wrong cos he might of remixed an Anastasia track. but I remember he done something with the track Anastasia - sweetness of you, being very bored a few weeks ago I looked at a cd sleave and saw his name by that track, its something like that, might be a link there for you.
Eugene
thanks

btw Lightforce - Join Me doesn't do justice to the original (Anastasia - Join Me). The original is simply WICKED! It's got these cascades (like arpeggios) that build and build in intensity, whereas Lightforce's remake is pretty average.

I'll have to check the orginal out sometime

Lightforce was 1st to remake this track, then came Anastasia and last came Driver Project. The original track was written by a finnish rock band HIM's (his infernal majesty) vocalist Ville Valo.

Anastasia is Martin Eyerer, Oliver Laib (yes, Laib not Lieb!) and co. Matt Darey did a some co-operation with these guys in sweetness.
Lightforce DJ Team is also known as Scoopex and co-producers of Mario Lopez.

So what do you reckon is the best version?
I have the Lightforce:Join me (Club mix) and i think it is sheer quality.
