Album: Walk on Fire

Track Listing: Walk on Fire feat. York (6:45) Poem I (0:58) Protect Your Mind (5:30) Turkish Moments (6:20) Dragonfly (4:57) Poem II (1:32) Nightmare (5:49) Wait for You (5:52) Nomansland (5:18) Love is a Shield (6:57) Natives (7:24) Poem III (1:18) Protect your Mind - Van Bellen Remix (8:24) Reminiscing feat. Vanessa Mae (4:16) Enter the Filter feat. K.C. (6:11)

Released '99 in Germany. The first track "Walk on fire" is a very good track which builds up with a little help from Torsten Stenzels brother York aka Jurg Stenzel. Both "Turkish Memories", "Natives" & "Love is a shield" are quite good. Unfortunately are the other tracks pretty weak and it doesn't matter if they have changed the 3 hit-singles, they still contains Janet Taylors cheesy vocals. Thanks to Thomas Peterson for this information.

CD Single / 12": DJ Sakin & Friends - Protect Your Mind

Track Listing: 12": Protect Your Mind - Lange Remix (9.30) Protect Your Mind - Suspicious Remix (9.51) CD: Protect Your Mind - Vocal Edit (3.11) Protect Your Mind - Lange Remix (9.30) Protect Your Mind - Ayla Remix (6.47)

Released 2/99 on Positiva Records. Written by James Horner and produced by DJ Sakin (S. Bozurt and Torsten Stenzel). The full title of this awesome track is 'Protect Your Mind (For the Love of a Princess)' and is apparently inspired by the music from Mel Gibson's epic 'Braveheart', which is obvious from the vocal edit found on the CD single. This 12" features two superb remixes, one harder trance (Suspicious Remix) and one full-on uplifting trance (Lange Remix). The mid-track breakdown features the music from Braveheart, giving it that hands-in-the-air anthem status, whilst the rest of the track is sheer quality banging trance at its best. The CD single also features a remix by Ayla, which is annoyingly absent on this 12" (why?!?!?), which is more percussion based and bouncy than either the Suspicious or Lange Remixes. Probably a little too early to label it tune of the year, but its going to tough to beat this one! Don't miss.

12": DJ Sakin & Friends - Nomansland

Track Listing: Nomansland Dark Man

First released 3/99 on Overdose Productions (Germany). Track 1 written by Wladimir Kosma and produced by DJ Sakin and Torsten Stenzel. Track 2 written and produced by DJ Sakin and Torsten Stenzel. 'Dark Man' is a rather average hard trancer, whilst its the title track that hits home in the form of another huge trancer from DJ Sakin. Its plays along the same line as 'Protect Your Mind', using a Celtic/Irish folk melody (recognisable as that from the Titanic movie) as an introduction and as a mid-track breakdown - superb. Later released on Positiva (5/99) featuring an excellent remix by Lange.
