I can't believe he is gone. Shem, you have my respect for producing such quality tune as this one. This is really a well produced track. I bought the 12" vinyl in remembrance. We will never forget you Shem! R.I.P.
RIP Slacker. I remember this coming out and just going nuts, quality producer and you now belong to the ages...fair play mate, see you on the other side.
@TheTyrantanic I concur - very sad face right now. But this tune is the PERFECT cure for sadness - it is SO uplifting - it makes me happy - it makes me grin. This was a PEAK tune when progressive was at it's peak. RIP Shem - know that if progressive house made it's mark on music you were a gigantic part of that. Slacker - synonymous with Sasha and Digweed, back when they really were Gods playing immortal timeless music.
actually, I remember I saw Jon Carter at Bugged Out once. The only tune he played I knew was a loop of 3:04 to 3:46. Gutted, cos I wanted to hear the original. Thanks for that Jon. To all DJs..you gotta play at least one or two things we know.
1 word awsome , could listen to this all day - very calming yet alot goes on in the tune but it all fits together spot on - 97 produced alot of crackin trance tunes , great memories !
This is my favorite version of the track. The other two mixes are good but just not the same as 'In The Mirror' mix. Best part IMO is where the break down is (2:50) and the samples go "happy, scared, angry, angry, angry, angry, JOY! JOY!!" then BAM back into a stomping beat with tight rifts.
One of my favourite songs of all time. I love the changes between those beautiful escalating chords in the background and that effect at 4:21. The song seems to clash loads of effects, but works really well
Mate this classic track is on dance nation 4 1997, its on disc 1 pete tong,my favourite 3 tracks are together at the end of the disc, listen to those three last tracks,they are awsome together!!
@RecycledDJ First time I've ever listened to this particular version, as you said... the others are good, but this just blows everything away! Awsome!!
Such a tune!
