Mr.Mystery always cries "alt" whenever someone is making these kind of threads, and on this one I agree. Next thread he makes will probably be about deadmau5 or tiesto.

Thank God for Sandstorm. Before I heard it I thought this was what EDM was.
Catchy song though.

Sandstorm was really intense back in 2000. I first found it on a bootleg Club Exit cd from new york somewhere...then later that summer, everytime I went to the club they dropped it and the place went totally ape.

Sandstorm was great in its time. If you havent already, check out some of his other tracks, especially of his second album "Rush".

It may be a decent glowstick anthem, but the fact is that Sandstorm is far too simplistic to stand up to the immense overplay it received, and now I'm so numbed to it through over-exposure I could happily never hear it played again.

atleast it was a great song, had a fresh original sound and prooved that even the most simplest melody can work if it's done well. unfortunetly the overplay totally killed the track and made me not wanna hear it ever again.
it's hard to say what i would think of the track if i would hear it now for the first time.

As to the topic, I have to admit that there's nothing technically or even musically wrong with Sandstorm. In fact, as far as building tension goes, it does better than a lot of anthem trance was doing at the time. The main problem is the novelty was lost after about the third time Darude played it in the same night.
