While I have a ton of harddance tracks, of course, some percolate and rise to the top, while others kind of sink into the general pool; I like them, but they don't stand out as much as others. A lot of the output of Kamui (and their various other names) is near the top of my list, in particular this song by one of their aliases, Virus, Inc.
I don't know which of the two mixes I prefer, but they're both great. And super intense, which is part of why I like them so much. Not that intensity by itself is sufficient, because I actually have a lot of intense yet kinda forgettable and indistinguishable tracks too. But the intensity of these is one of the reasons I love them, certainly.
The labeling is kinda funky. According to discogs, the digital release and Spotify has an "Original Mix" that's about 7:50 long, and a "Club Mix" that's just under 7:30. But the original vinyl had a "Club Mix" and a "Trance Mix", and both have the exact same length of 7:53.
I expect that that's a typo on the sleeve, and that there really are just the two mixes, and one of them is about thirty seconds shorter than the other. I also suspect that the "Trance Mix" and the "Original Mix" are the same.
I'm however, not completely sure, since I don't have the vinyl to listen to and compare.
In the original (or Trance) mix, check out that little percussion riff shortly after 7:00. Just awesome. Sure, it's a minor little thing, but they put that in the outro. Because they don't just rest on their laurels and have it fade out while repeating, of course!
