Oh, and btw, I was talking to this guy on YouTube, where I claimed this track as THE trance tune above all the others and he was protesting by sending me links to old school hard-trance songs from the early 2000's.
But that's kind of the thing about this track, it's not your average, "wow, trance'n acid with an 140+ bpm"-track. I'm actually gonna go out on a leap here and say that this is something new - a track that may heritage back to the old trance, but is nothing like it.
And I think that may be a reason that this is not a much loved nor popular track(considering that this is the most viewed example of the track on YT, and it's relatively a low number of views) - even though with the edm genre is being taken up by ridicilously bad mainstream artists (example "Rihanna - Only Girl in the World"), masterpieces like this doesn't get noticed by your average hipster teen.
And my personal reason for loving this track is that the break part of this track just give me these massive chills running from the back of my head downwards my spine.
I've read many hippie-ish comments like: "wow man, this tracks makes you like... fly away on a rainbow'n shit", and I've listened to trance for a lot of years, while looking at those people who wrote things like that as stoned retards being nothing but non-caring imbeciles. However, now I think I know what they were on about: they were given a satisfaction by listening to an audible compilation that made them relax and just look at their life with another undescribable view.
No Rihanna, Gaga or Bieber could ever make you feel something like that. Trance died out in popularity during the mid-2000's but now it may have a chance at reaching the top yet again, because of these VEVO-sponsored artists. If things go well during the next year, you could almost say that VEVO, MTV and all the other dominating music corporations have shot them self in the leg. I for once believe that this will happen, and all you can do is hope, unfortunately.
But no matter what happens, this will stay in my heart and brain forever, not only a inspiration but also as a memory of cutting edge electronic music.
I believe that all genres should be treated with the same amount of respect each. Sadly, the world was never founded this way.
These comments start to get a bit big now, so I think I'll stop now. Bear in mind though, if you have any sceptic of my comments at all, remember these ar my comments, delivered from my point of view in music.
Rank 1, Wippenberg and Nic Chagall, you're not ordinary people.
You're audible geniuses.
What you have created is something truly worth glory. I hope you feel proud of yourself, you really should. I also hope something like this will keep appearing in the future.
@norwegiantechnolover Was curious to see some remixes myself as well (especially one remix of each of the guys that worked on this) but it's not happening for whatever reason... I don't mind though, it's obvious that High Contrast is about quality over quantity, something we can't say of every Trance(-related) album out there...
@R4Z0RM4N3 So what youre saying is that High Contrast would rather make one brilliant track instead of several not-so-brilliant versions of the same track?
@norwegiantechnolover That's exactly what I'm saying, yes. ;) Had they only cared about making easy money and slamming out cheese after cheese, we would have had the 100th release ages ago... Luckily for us, they do care about high quality > that consistency has made them my fave label to date though I have to admit: was a little worried when those remixes for Beauty Of Silence, Twisted and the horrible On A Metropolis Day got released but I guess nobody is perfect eh? :P
@R4Z0RM4N3 You know what, I would actually like a remix of this track, but if there aren't any, I dont mind. Cause this track is such a beauty, maybe it deserves to be left alone. And therefore it will always stand as a real high-quality production instead of the now-a-days cheap EDM productions, such as "LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem". It's actually kinda sad that cheap productions like that get super famous with lots of millions views, while golden nuggets like "100" gets no credit what so ever..
@norwegiantechnolover Couldn't have said it better myself! I absolutely agree with you, it's one of the things that has always frustrated me about being a Trance & EDM fan but you know what? Like I read somewhere last week: not everyone was meant to understand beautiful music like this. ;) Amen bro!
I've tried recreating this melody part (2:05 and forwards) in FL Studio, and believe me, I've recreated SO many tracks trough the years, so it's become pretty easy really. But this! This song! I'm nowhere near creating this in FL... Too much epicness, I guess... :/
@anakincstrike i really hope so, because asot 09 yearmix and top 10 was full of cheesy vocal and crappy tracks. Please no more armada influence over trance...
Where is Rank1 there are massive tunes. A lot of respect for you guys. Not everyone knows how many tunes Benno has been coproducted, including AvB and Jochen Miller sounds (check at his official site). It's a real talent.
About the tune: as I've said, there is Rank 1 , there is another massive tune. Very good job. Congratulations!
@TheElectronicMuzik it was a collaboration that was made through the internet. they never got in the studio to produce together lol. that might be one reason. but its still pretty good. although don't think anything will beat High Contrast's best release, Pascal Feliz and Nenes - Platinum ... and a very very close second place is Joop and Leon Bolier's - the Future
Its the perfect 100th release. Such a huge combination of artists, I hope this will have a big remix package from other high contrast artists. Would be great to see Marcel Woods, Jochen Miller & Ernesto vs Bastian remix this, absolutely huge anthem!!
@BeYourselfMusic2006 I like this kind of longer version. Makes me wait for the better parts. And when showing to friends it goes like: "hey hey hey now there's this awesome part, listen listen listen: BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!" :D
reminds me summer 2010 ! epic track :)!
