i think i discovered the original through a paul van dyk set and in the beginning it had a really good groove that got you hooked in. it's mostly known for being that track with the violin and it's actually a sample from the classic rock song "the gates of babylon" by the ronnie james dio fronted rainbow.
the sample is taken from the end of the track and i think of the reasons why maurice's original sounds like it is has to do with the fact while the violin is open for taking it's not in the most perfect condition. it's fading and has reverb trail from the guitars. with the violins in another state it would maybe started the thing and be built around it in that kind of fashion.
but maurice built the track so well the track could pull it's weight without it but it's a great track anyhow. but for trancesetters remix they decided to take the track into a different direction where it starts out of a more funkier techno groove. it's heavy and you hear drums and a lowkey bass at first but as the track progresses it shifts focus.
the way they used violin is to first bring it in with loops & delay and it stays in this effect while the bass comes alive in the breakdown. i think it's made as a great transition piece as the sinister bass & pounding drums of the second half can lead a set into heavier techno or darker trance for that matter.
