Gorgeous vocals by Gemma Hayes and an equally superb remix by Yotto.
This track just has such a delightful vibe, one of those with just swathes and swaddles you with warmth through subtle grooves.
All I feel is sadness now, taking over, taking over!
Above & Beyond feat. Gemma Hayes
- Counting Down The Days
(Yotto Remix)
They always just nailed their tracks and remixes.
It's not often you get a really great male vocal in trance tracks, but hats off to Richard Bedford, his great vocals really enhance a superb track.
The A&B production is just superb as per usual.
They were really masters of their craft.
I've wrestled with angels all my life!
Trance heaven!
Above & Beyond - Alone Tonight
(Above & Beyond's Club Mix)
This one is a coloration of two of electronic music's great pioneers in JMJ and Tangerine Dream, then bring in one of Trance music's finest remixers in Above & Beyond and you have a masterpiece.
This track is just off the scale with variety, dips, peaks, tempo changes and all the bleeps and blips you could which for.
A really unique and amazing track.
I bet this could sound amazing when dropped at the right time in a club.
Enjoy!
Jean-Michel Jarre & Tangerine Dream - Zero Gravity
(Above & Beyond Remix)
That was the real beauty of well executed trance production, the contrast of the hard pumping beats combined with the beautiful ethereal vocals and spinetingling piano, along with the build up and the drum rolls to the crescendo.
This track does that to perfection.
Pure brilliance as always from A&B.
A spellbinding track of immense magnitude and heavenly atmosphere.
Fingertips so gently on my skin!
Delerium Feat. Rani - Underwater
(Above & Beyond's 21st Century Mix)
They were true masters of their craft.
This encapsulates you from the very first piano chord through to the full 8 mins plus of the track.
Just a stunning piece of atmospheric trance music.
Above & Beyond - Eternal
(Artemil Remix)
Their ability to produce tracks which were both so uplifting and pumping, yet ethereal and melodic at the same time was just unreal.
This is another such track, it contains everything a good trance track should and certainly feels "Good For Me".
Get on it!
Above & Beyond - Good For Me
(Above & Beyond Club Mix)
This one is from 2002 and features the wonderful vocal talents of Kate Cameron.
As they'd say in the trance world - a complete banger!
Above & Beyond - Far From In Love
(Original Mix)
They were certainly up there as one of the very best trance remixers/producers.
This is epic, sublime and monstrous all in one go.
Lush vocals, pumping rhythm, pounding beats all crafted together and combined with gorgeous piano breakdowns.
Epic!
Above & Beyond presents OceanLab - On A Good Day
(Above & Beyond Club Mix)
They are one of those artists who just get it.
Every track is a journey and every track has a real vibe.
This is right on form and it simply gives you that warm glowing, luxurious feel!
This track almost massages your soul.
Fantastic remix by Spencer Brown as well.
Just glorious!
Above & Beyond - Sun In Your Eyes
(Spencer Brown Remix)
Pretty much everything Above & Beyond touched was pure gold and this is no exception.
It retains the original vibe of the track, but just adds another dimension.
I also had to post the Danny Tenaglia remix which is equally awesome - 12 minutes of pure adrenaline.
Whilst the Way Out West Mix oozes their usual class and is also a cracker.
I'm not sure I could choose which is the best as they are all pretty different, but all very awesome at the same time.
That's the beauty of remixes!
Enjoy!
Faithless - Salva Mea
(Above & Beyond Mix)
Faithless - Salva Mea
(DT's Main Club Mix)
Faithless - Salva Mea
(Way Out West Mix)
This is from 2008 and is just a superb track, A&B were cement their status as one of the best trance remixes and the tortured excellence of Radiohead is very clear to see.
That piano breakdown is just heaven!
Get on it!
Radiohead - Reckoner
(Above & Beyond Remix)
Were Above and Beyond the best trance remixers of that era?
Definitely up there.
Also surprised that this is the first Adamski track on the PCC blog
"Black hole, naked soul, liquid gold let it roll, at the same time"
Enjoy!
Adamski – In The City
(Above And Beyond Mix)
The cheesey vocal actually works quite well on this track.
Classic A&B remix as we know to expect, pumping, thumping and driving.
Some great tinkly piano laced in here as well.
Get on it!
You know I really care!
Fragma - Everytime You Need Me
(Above & Beyond Remix)
I've always been a huge fan of club tracks that slow down, stop and then pick up the pace again, classics like, Slo Moshun's Bells of New York and Veracocha's - Carte Blanche are two great examples (both already posted on this blog). The main reason being in clubs they were simply devastating and used to send the dancefloor crazy.
Just check this out for a fantastic remix. Above and Beyond have created some brilliant stuff and their type of trance is just my bag. Not too heavy, but really pumping, yet melodic at the same type with epic build ups and drops.
