this was something was recommended to me about five or six years ago and i fell in love with this track instantly. i didn't know much about the artist as not much has been of kaylyn since the late 90's. from what i gathered up is that it was some sort of gothic techno meets trance project and it was aided by the fact that the first single "your wildest dreams" got a remix from cj bolland who was then quite on form.
"your wildest dream" in it's original state is a banging acid trancer with a driving bassline and works a few layers and sounds in the right way. i don't have any problems with it at all and i was actually questioning if i should have done the piece on it or on bolland's remix. it came down to the remix as i hadn't heard the original until about a week ago and even then i think bolland's remix is better by a smidge.
bolland's work on this is like many of remixes of the past where many parts have been used from the original but has been twisted around and reshaped. the prominent acidline from the original is present but has been pitched up to the highest octave and the settings have been tweaked. the bell that is employed has also been treated the same way but the vocals are almost intact.
there is a bit more focus on key phrases but bollands vision is this banging techno track that is actually quite minimal in aestethic and you can hear the influences from robert hood and the likes. bolland boils it down to the essentials and do as much with them as possible and the end result is quite a trip and a hypnotic one to boot.
buy here (itunes)
i was surprised to see it available for purchase online as ucmg germany went bankrupt a few years ago but since the song was quite a hit at it's release, it was licensed of to a few compilations and one of them was on itunes. but it should be noted that it's not the full version.
