leann rimes - life goes on (29 palms remix)

this one came to me after i heard some other 29 palms remixes and liked the sound that pete lorimer was trying to do at the time. it was the kind of circuit sound that people like hex hector and others were doing when epic trance got big in the us gay clubs. only a bit more fuller and sort of more housey but still keeping all the trancy tones.

it's been in my playlists for years since it's a really nice slab of trance and i've worked it well as a driver. however it's not in it's original form. i thought that it was really good but i thought it could do without the breakdowns. i discovered this track right around the time i grew sick of the excesses in beatless breaks and how some tracks had strong parts and then came this part in the middle which didn't make sense.

so i took out most of the first breakdown where it breaks down into half-time and goes into a lush vocal part which is good but served no point when i was playing it. i had it go in to the drop and then went straight into the part of the drop where the acid-like sound kicks right along.

the drop then became more effective worked better with the rest of the song and as for the second break i just took it out completely. the end result is some pete lorimer goodness and some dabs of leann rimes on top. now that sentence made it sound like i didn't like rimes' original, it's quite nice actually but it's not something that works with trance.

now i'm not going to give out my re-edit since i don't do that at all so see my comments as a guideline on how to do your own cutting and splicing in your audio-editor of choice.
