Sven has occasionally produced music in his life, not so much recently. This is an excellent remix of one of his classic more trance-like efforts, by the on-form Ame, released to celebrate his 50th birthday.
And I do regret not going to Sven’s 50th birthday in Germany last year.
I discovered this on the truly excellent Craig Richards compilation – Get Lost – it was only a few tracks in and just sent me crazy, in a sober Monday night kind of way. So much emotion behind the melody, a simple beat and a trance-like drift on occasion.
Mathew Jonson is an absolutely wonderful producer, making many an epic track and this is no different with a slow and ponderous light beat and melancholic melody providing the sad drama. Could be a perfect second-last tune of the night.
Isn’t the newest tune ever but has really grown on me over the years.
I could tell on the build up that I was going to love this track, and the melody kicks in and yes it is a beauty, sticking in the mind like the Eiffel Tower. Power and melody.
I considered giving the original top tune status but this is a step further into brilliance, an mellow enchanting brooding beauty, which makes me think of birds of prey flying over the sea in Ibiza.
