delerium - truly (infusion remix)

this one i heard slightly after it was released, i remember that the signum remix was the one given out first to some of the big jocks at the time. signum had a bit of a second wind at the time and armin van buuren was supporting their works.

slightly after came infusion's remix to most peoples attention and i bought the cd-single right when it came out. it was a groovy piece of thing. it uses cut up vocals and a really buzzy bass groove. much like their remix of transformer 2's "just can get enough" for positiva's 10 years release. less trancy influences on this and it's quite focused on the groove and it's a heavy one.

the vocal is introduced rather nicely and i quite like nerina pallot's effort and lyrics on it but there is a part of me that'd like a dub. or at least a part with less vocals and i have tried my hand at editing the tune but it's infuriating since i get it to flow smoothly. the only other edit i've see was by one of the minilogue/son kite guys (i think it was mullaert) and i didn't think his edit worked.

anyhow, the other reason why i'd want to edit it is that the best part of the song, the coda that has the bass & synths going frantic in a good way. it's too short really. i have done some live mixing trickery a few times when i've doubled up the track and looped it up. it's a really banging track and it's a track i'll be playing for a long time.
