theatre of tragedy - lorelei (icon of coil remix)

a mate of mine introduced me to the band over ten years ago, it was with the "aegis" album. i can't say that i listen to them often nowadays but i like that album. probably because the songs are quite easy to get into, and especially "lorelei".

i think i found out that there was a remix of this song when i googled the lyrics for "lorelei". i didn't look for it instantly but there was something intriguing. especially when i heard other icon of coil tracks and remixes. the end result is quite epic.

ishkur mentions that in his guide to electronic dance music that futurepop and epic trance are like lost cousins and with this track, it's true. it's a piece of stonking trance with great melodics and vocals by people that can hold a note. i think i gave the heads up on this tune once as, "it's good vocal trance".

the combination of the synth buzz and the guitar riffs is great especially in the hooks. another really nice thing is the piano that is tucked away in the back and is later given solo in the last two minutes. great tune.
