interactive - can you hear me calling? (resistance d remix)

my memory might fail me but this was picked up a while ago with several other singles and the likes and i was hesitant to buy it. even as it was something costed me less than euro second hand because i know the nature of the "can you hear me calling" and there was only one version that interesting. the sleeve said that included a resistance d remix but i wasn't sure to buy something just because it contained that one rendition.

reason for the second guessing of the original isn't because of resistance d, it's with interactive which was a project by ramon zenker, jens lissat, andreas schneider and occasionally also marc innocent. zenker who does the heavy lifting as he is biggest studio rat of them three is known for being one half of hardfloor but also one fourth of fragma, one half of mega 'lo mania, one half of bellini and the list goes on and on. basically for every credible record he has done, there is atleast two to three commercial ones.

i don't falter him for the choice of doing so as you have to earn your living doing something, even if it means sometimes making music for the lowest common denominator. zenker, lissat and schneider also knew that you can benifit from this as you can help out some of your friends to get in on the money by having them remix the song. you will also know that in those cases this version includes as little as possible from the original or whatever works for their sound.

to be honest the original "can you hear me calling" is something restrained in terms of this project and if you've heard it, you will ask yourself how more restrained? well have a listen to their cover of "forever young" or "living without your love", this will sound like carl craig's "dreamland" compared to them. anyhow in the hands of resistance d it's a matter of taking some of the ideas from the original and refitting them. the vocals are reduced to just the title at hand and the synths are classier and isn't that typical of the time.

for all intents and purposes it is something that would work in a modern epic trance set as it's a textbook example on how to good epic trance but i don't see it happening anytime soon. it's more of a case with someone like me that really likes the works of resistance d but i also think that many of their works are timeless.
