"solace" was a track that i won in a giveaway competition hosted by monster tunes, the label who released the tune. at the time i had heard the ronski speed remix as it was a track that was cained by a number of the big dj's at the time. my friend jan henrik however told me that i should take a listen to the original as it was far better produced and executed than the remix but i was more into ronski speed's version.
reason being that the remix had more of a drive than mystery islands original but looking at it now, it also lacks all the subtlety in the tune and and puts all the focus on the peaks and builds. the drops are shorter in the original and the main breakdown isn't rhythmless but is an piano breakdown which adds to the tracks qualities. what attracted me to both the original and the remix is the use of the supersaw synthsound as a buzzing backdrop or a pad as they are reverbed. it's a good spin on a clichéed element and something that emphasised the track instead of being the only melodic element that stands out.
finnish trance producers seemed to get most things right when it came to epic trance at the time and this is no exception.
