lasgo - alone (hiver & hammer instrumental)

believe a mate of mine tipped me off on this one on the basis that hiver & hammer's remixes at the time was on point. he was right also, they were quite cracking and they saved a lot of tunes with their versions and had a really good idea on how to build tunes, sort of.

i bought the cdsingle for this one at stockholm recordstore pitch in their second location at gamla brogatan. it was on positiva and i remember that i bought it cheap and was pleasantly surprised when i took it home. reason being was while the version on the cd was billed "hiver & hammer's ground control mix" (in this case meaning the main remix with full vocals) it was the instrumental.

which was the only version worth bothering with any way, this remix takes the only good bits from the original: a sound effect. the rest is a cracking hiver & hammer track and it has found it's way into my sets plenty of times. the one thing that bugged me with quite a few of their remixes and productions was either horrible vocals or the fact that they had these great builds and everything was mintos, except for a lengthy breakdown.

to the defense their breakdowns seemed to have a rhythm behind it but it did take down the energy at a point where it wasn't needed at all. in this case it had one of these longer drops but it used a break loop for it's rhythm. i quite enjoy this track, how non-credible lasgo is and i am one of those people that find pleasure in finding good versions of cheesy tracks.

the only thing is that often these versions tend to be slightly or heavy reworked version of other their own productions and a small (or in many cases slim to none) bit from the tune they are remixing. you might aswell buy and support the original tune (that the remixes based their remix on) then.

i don't know if this one is heavily based on anything else besides a small influence from other remixes done at the same time so i'll continue support this one.
