seems like i am in that mood today where i'm playing one massive vocal tune after another. i've already listened to the atfc remix of moby's "in this world", the thunderpuss remix of whitney's "it's not right", robert owens' "i'll be your friend" and the jonathan peters club mix of hamasaki ayumi's "kanariya" and i'll tack on this as well. a big tune for the british progressive house and trance dj's at the time i was properly introduced to it through a friend who was into this epic house sound.
dekkard's version builds up in anthemic state with a big intro and this sparkling patch is joined by a gated patch and eventually a driving bassline. the sense of that something dramatic is about to happen is just around the bend but it paces itself until it drops and lets kristine w belt it out along with those synths, some accompanying sweeps and a fierce broad piano. this segment is quite effectful but it really shuts down for that part and it does go up and down while it's actually driving. point is that placing this in sets requires being careful or using the dub or just parts as even i wouldn't play the whole 12minutes of it.
amazing piece of music though and it is the highlight in a package of remixes that also include rollo's club mix that he does with his bandmate sister bliss, junior vasquez, deep dish, lisa marie experience and the maddlands. most of them are good to decent except the high profiled deep dish remixes which doesn't tickle my fancy at all. same goes for maddlands dub which is just horribly dated crap. there was also some new remixes made in '11 by kevin saunderson and timothy allen that is decent but i also do know that it's also isn't the last time that "land of the living" will be revisited as champion records are experts of churning out countless versions of "feel that you want" every two years or so.
