vivian green - emotional rollercoaster (original 3 extended)

"emotional rollercoaster" was something i heard in a set and it was originally through a remix by above & beyond and it's a version that i still love. typical classy driving epic trance production with green's vocal on top and it was also nice to hear soulful vocals like that with trancier beats. because normally on a regular basis, the most soulful you could get was marcella woods, merle forbes and kate cameron and they was stuck to singing e-tard poetry for the most part.

i missed out on actual buying the record at the time but saw the cdsingle a while after and bought it, knowing that it wasn't included. the additional versions included was by junior vasquez, that kid chris and original 3 together with a b-side called "music", also available on her album "a love story". junior vasquez remix was a classic circuit rerub and i liked it to an extent but i could never play it because it had certain parts that i didn't like, note that this was before i took to editing tracks .

that kid chris took to a tribal progressive house version that bored me tears on the first listen and while i see it's purpose with these ears, i'd never play it. saving the original 3 remix for last and this was always the remix i chose to play because it harnessed the original production, which i loved. for some reason i also thought that it was by osunlade as he, erro & vivian green were responsible for the song. it also didn't help that discogs never included a remixcredit for the act "original 3" at the time, or maybe that i had never heard of them prior to looking it up today.

none the less, it's a great soulful house track that uses osunlade's bassline and synth licks with green's vocal as i hinted upon in the prior paragraph. i also like the guitar being used that isn't that prominent but audible enough and the way it fits the soundscape. the most notable is that it implements the bridge that most of the remixers that took a stab at this song ignored.

it's part of the motion of the original composition but in original 3's remix it's in the breakdown and becomes a great crowning moment for green as she just belts out the hook right after it. as it's set up is a classic trick with diva house type tracks and it works equally as brilliant with this one. love it.
