Track Listing:
|
Released 2000 on Time Unlimited / UCMG (Germany). Written and produced by Bernd Augustinski. Additional remix and production on track 1 by Sunbeam. The original version of this track is very hard, dark and fast trance, sounding very dated by todays standards. However, Sunbeam lifts the spirits and slows the pace down considerably, although there is still a dark element to this track. The Blow Back 2000 Mix is another pounding hard trancer with a fairly brisk pace and acid 303's tweaking throughout - much in the same vain as the original mix, whilst the Exstatic Trance Mix follows Sunbeams remix, with a similar bpm and trance feel to the track. All in all a good range of mixes of a slightly dark trancer, with Sunbeams remix the better of the bunch.

12": Night in Motion

Track Listing:
|
Released 01/01 on Time Unlimited / UCMG (Germany). Written and produced by Bernd Augustinski. The Club Mix of the title track gets a little bit on dark side, accompanied with a rather haunting melody running throughout, resulting in a bit of a dark trancer. The Extended Mix, which is the better of the two mixes, keeps the same melody and removes the hard edge from the beat and hence isn't quite as dark. 'The Final' is a bit of an average affair. Overall I've mixed opinions about this new track from Nostrum; maybe one for moodier clubs.
