GusGus - Purple (Sasha V The Light) (1998)

[@distinguishedgentleman7166]

WOW.... So timeless. Been married 20 years, the wife calls this "our song". I introduced this to her in 99 and she's loved it since. Got me all emotional... PLUR.

[@ingridnathalie]

Amazing! Congrats 😊💛

Wish I could meet a woman who even knew what the hell Trance is. Lucky man.

[@CategoricalImperative]

I always play this for people claiming they know edm. They rarely know this song and are blown away by its beauty and technicality.

[@gobikostudio]

Stands up against the best modern dance music- and I still buy dance records- and there is some ground breaking modern music. I heard this on a tape of a local Baltimore DJ and went searching for it in record stores in the mid-90s. There was no internet to speak of for finding records- especially when you had no info to go on. And I fucking found it! In a basement record store in NYC. What a feeling!

[@paulcurrans622]

I agree... I hung out with some good DJs and producers in the late 2000s and 2010s and whilst they love this music they always mentioned it was old or unsophisticated.... I never got that... hopefully it's getting a rebirth!!!

[@atlantisairwaves2]

My favourite version of this song and also my all time favorite. nothing else will ever top that!

[@FenerZiz1]

Last time I lestened this was 20 year ago. Never knew the title. Can't stop pushing replay button...

[@oskarkiesewalter2866]

My parents used to listen to this all the time... Such a great song

[@antgto]

Wow, I could feel this one in my heart. Heard this so many times listening to Tranceport on my way to raves with friends back in the day.

[@darthnegrus9255]

You'd probably like this series "White Lines" on Netflix its a murder mystery set in Ibiza in two timelines 20 years apart, revolving around DJs Its pleasantly cheesy at some points, but the sound track was a highlight

[@jamiet2262]

This sounds insane on a big sound system! The light made some quality breakbeat tracks.

[@jasonprentice4030]

I love these uploads by Trance Classics. This tune does the same to me, it's like the tune and my body have the same wavelength.

[@mayor_dj]

One of my absolute favs.

[@kayharker712]

v Ahhh.... Reminds me of my college days at Stalingrad State.We used to requisition a washtub from the unwashed masses and mix grain & vodka alcohol with grape juice and ginger ale and stir with the rifle butt of an AK-47.We called it "Purple Lenin" but others called it "Magic Marx Juice".

[@s0nnyburnett]

Please tell me you're making this up you Red bastard, lmao.

[@bandfromtheband9445]

God knows that you are sick! But please send your musical responses. I want to hear more from you.

[@kayharker712]

@@bandfromtheband9445 You must remember we had no western music until the 90s so it was a wild and happy time discovering 50 years of rock music in a few years. Until then, we only had random bootlegs and smuggled tapes - mainly of Roy Castle and the Grumbleweeds - they were very popular along with Smokie and Roy 'Chuby' Brown, and the Rubettes.

The Elder Scrolls Oblivion anyone? Maybe it was Morrowind. Nevertheless I played the game and listened to this song fighting my way through caves and other adventures. Beautiful 😍

[@CodyDBuni]

Test Drive Unlimited, anyone?

[@ingoma79]

this track is like story, beautiful story

[@rid1coza]

The intro to this song reminded me of David Attenborough's talking lyrebird!

[@Camwin]

oh my fuck!!!!! it so does, i reckon that bird been hanging round the outdoor festivals back in the day hahaha

[@korallb6862]

The beginning of this song reminded me a little bit of Dr. Motte & Westbam-Sunshine because of the Background sounds.

[@steevhoefchen4044]

Tranceport, anyone?

[@djjoshplacid83]

Love the tranceport series. At the first rave I ever went to i was lucky enough to catch Sandra Collins Tranceport 3 set live.

[@Dashoost]

Wtf is up with this whole need to label, classify and subdivide music? This is definitely a construct of the younger generations who are nothing without a social media profile and were given smart phones and tablets from a very young age. Back the day no one said a word about what genre the DJs were mixing. If they did they were classified as dorks and sat in the corner all alone, no one paid any mind to them while we danced our asses off.
