i saw the cdsingle in a charityshop i believe and i've heard of this one before but i never actually heard the track but i think there was a consensus on that jam el mar's remix was a classic. then again i think the single was for 10kr and it had the name jam el mar on it, i would have bought it anyways or anyhow.
i did listen to the original cover version of the tune but i'll be damned if i remember how it sounded. the jam el mar remix however hit all the right notes and i did remember it because of that weird snare in the middle of the track.
jam el mar's take is very much like his works at the time and it's deep, very trancy and it just builds and builds. it's quite lovely, right from the intro that creates a just a smidge too much tension for the track. after that it's just subtle layers upon layers that slowly grows onto the track and the end result is quite hypnotic.
it doesn't even matter that el mar bring in a soft pad to play the original melody and create a setting for the vocal, the overall groove is that hypnotic and there isn't a disruption. the track just goes until it gets heavier and heavier and right at it's most powerful it stops there. the sweeping pad from the intro makes a re-appearence but in reverse and it still creates as much tension as in the beginning.
i think most people who like classic trance (this means '90-'96 not '99) know of this tune but i didn't and my life was slighty empty without it. now i just have to find a way to actually work the track into a set, something tells me i will fuck up a many of times until i get it right.
