as mentioned prior i love it when producers step out of their comfort-zone and make a track outside of their normal field of music. it isn't completely with this track as it's a melodic broken beat rerub by mr. ishii of a jungle track by omni trio but ishii isn't astranged of hearing his tracks turned into drum and bass. especially during the time he was signed to r&s when "legendary" labelowner/asshole renaat vandepapeliere was getting into drum and bass.
"sanctuary" in it's original state is a crisp example of omni trio's stunning and moody but melodic drum & bass that still had that kick and drive. the selling point for the track is those gorgeous strings and the warm vibraphone-sounding patch. ishii used all of the elements at hand for his rendition but of course in a lower tempo. the most striking factor about the remix is however that the bass is heavier as omni trio's is a more deep and subby element.
for his remix he broadens the spectrum as the drums classic midrangy sampled drumbreaks and the bassline is audible in the lower midrange as well. there is also more melodic content and ken ishii expands on the chordprogression of the original and brings in another synthpatch that somewhat arpeggiates and the conclusion of the song eventually becomes an interesting element. also that alarmclock soundeffect is used to great effect.
basically this is proper punchy warm melodic techno in a broken beat suit signed ken ishii.
