12": Kamaya Painters - Endless Wave

[DATA2]
Kamaya Painters - Endless Wave

Track Listing:

  1. Endless Wave - Original Mix
  2. Endless Wave - Albion Remix

Released 1999 on DATA/Ministry of Sound Recordings. Written and produced by DJ Tïesto and M.B. De Goeij. The Original Mix of Endless Wave is a superb slice of spine-tingling euphoric trance. The Albion Remix by Ferry Corsten steps up a gear and adds more drive to the track resulting in an overall harder sound, but this unfortunately results in the loss of the euphoric theme to the track - a quality remix none-the-less.

12": Kamaya Painters - Endless Wave / DJ Tïesto - Theme from Norefjell (Remixes)

[BLACK HOLE 110-5]
Kamaya Painters - Endless Wave / DJ Tïesto - Theme from Norefjell (Remixes)

Track Listing:

  1. Endless Wave - Reversed Twister Remix (6.10)
  2. Endless Wave - Albion Remix (6.25)
  3. Theme from Norefjell - Lambert & Dimech Remix (7.56)
  4. Theme from Norefjell - Aptness Remix (8.09)

Released 8/99 on Black Hole Recordings. Tracks 1 & 2 written and composed by DJ Tïesto and M.B De Goeij. Tracks 3 & 4 written and composed by DJ Tïesto and C. Fijneman. The Reversed Twister Remix of 'Endless Wave' is a lighter remix than the Albion Remix by Ferry Corsten and successfully retains some of the euphoria of the Original Mix, whilst at the same time introducing a new angle to the track. I've not yet heard the original mix of 'Theme from Norefjell', so it's impossible for me to compare these remixes to it. However, the Lambert & Dimech Remix is an amicable slice of trance, whilst the Aptness Remix starts off on a solid foot but suffers when a dated sounding synth melody cuts in.

12": Kamaya Painters - Far From Over

[BLACK HOLE 114-5]
Kamaya Painters - Far From Over

Track Listing:

  1. Far From Over (5.53)
  2. Cryptomnesia (7.09)
  3. Soft Light (7.56)

Released 12/99 on Black Hole Recordings (Holland). Written and produced by DJ Tïesto and M.B. De Goeij. The title track, 'Far From Over', is an excellent powerful, uplifting trancer. Unfortunately the other two tracks don't quite match this high standard of production, but are pleasant slices of trance nonetheless. Worth purchasing for 'Far From Over' alone.

12": Kamaya Painters - Far From Over (Remix)

[REEF 042-6]
Kamaya Painters - Far From Over (Remix)

Track Listing:

  1. Far From Over - Original Mix
  2. Cryptomnesia
  3. Far From Over - Wavestate Remix

Released 5/00 on Reef Recordings (Germany). Written and produced by DJ Tïesto and M.B. De Goeij. This 12" features a new remix of the excellent 'Far From Over' by Wavestate, accompanied by the original mix and 'Cryptomnesia', both of which were released on the original Black Hole Recordings 12". This new remix is less powerful than the original, opting for a more progressive vibe. Overall this is a decent new remix that gets away from the anthemic vibe of the original mix whilst retaining all of its key features.

12": Kamaya Painters - Wasteland

[DATA23T]
Kamaya Painters - Wasteland

Track Listing:

  1. Wasteland - Chabs Tribute to Bedrock Remix
  2. Wasteland - Original Mix
  3. Wasteland - Hitchhiker Remix

Released 4/01 on Data Records/Ministry of Sound Recordings. Written and produced by DJ Tïesto and M.B. De Goeij. Chabs Tribute to Bedrock Remix is a deep progressive trancer with, as the title suggests, stereotypical sounding Bedrock style grooves. This is ' far deeper and moodier than anything on the previous releases by the Kamaya Painters. The Original Mix is rather plain and light in comparison, whilst the Hitchhiker Remix takes the best bits of the original and steps on the throttle, giving it an amicable makeover and turning this into a bit of an anthem.
