i really miss Matt Hardwick and of course Smith & Pledger. The golden Trance days ...

[@paulv2394]

So very well said indeed. Here in 2021, Vocal Trance of this caliber does not exist. Mainstream has crept into the roots of this music and killed what was once, sacred. Damn you Mainstream industry! Kiss my ass!!!

[@fbplayr75]

seriously, why does no one make music like this anymore?

[@leonardo4569]

because the kids all want EDM....and unfortunately, they seem to have it.

[@Beruble]

FYI this track is also EDM... But yeah the money is in the pop side of EDM now. But i still dont see a reason why nobody makes tracks like this. All the trance labels now only have the evolved trance that leans a lot to the mainstream EDM side.

[@anjunabuzz-2411]

then your following the wrong labels my friend.

[@bs_blackscout]

cause pop culture and mainstream took over edm

[@amberdean1263]

@Anjunabuzz - Which labels would you recommend? I miss this sound so much

[@dashferry06]

See the edge of dawn, Disolve the darkness, Fuse the air with calm, Suddenly I feel I'm not alone, But connected, somehow forgiven. This is heavy xx

[@whatisthisevenfor26]

Do you have the full lyrics of this song? I can’t find it online

[@djalcazzar]

I will never ever get bored of this track, still absolutely magical!!

[@Jmartin871]

I agree, magical is the perfect word to sum up this tune, so much feeling and drive. What a beauty!

[@paulv2394]

Here in November, 2021, it still is!!! Some things stand the test of time, because it was way ahead of its time. There are so many that could not grasp this tune back then, and even today still, most never will. Music such as this transcends the sound...

[@djalcazzar]

@@paulv2394 I still listen to it on an almost daily basis, the new stuff just doesn't touch you in the same way this stuff did.

[@paulv2394]

@@djalcazzar you are so right. The new stuff sounds "cheezy", like Ariana Grande made it. Terrible.

[@sebastienseb919]

Bravo...

This is the epitome of vocal trance...

2021!!

[@agauerm]

I listen to this since it was released in 2004... One of the best trance tracks ever, timeless, it is very sad that they don´t produce like that nowadays... today´s uplifting trance is total crap, with very few exceptions.

[@ZexionZeroThe2nd]

I still listen to this track to this day!

[@adammolot]

Me too...

[@agauerm]

yep since it was released... One of the best trance tracks ever, it is very sad that they don´t produce like that nowadays... I wouldn´t call today´s trance uplifting nor trance, it is crap... With a few exceptions.

Some things are better without some modern remake.

[@BrianAndersonTT]

Just started my journey into finding pure soulful Trance music. I started with Smith & Pledger only because of their remix of Amsterdam (easily in my top 5 vocal trance of all time).. I just reached this (the 2nd release) and before half way I realized I still have hope.

[@chrisarkenston3340]

Amazing tracks like this you can find by listening Trance Around The World with Above & Beyond. I started around episode 160 and onward. And my God what a journey has been ! Good times. Anyone who wants to learn what real trance sounds like, must listen to this epic radioshow.

Your comment is 5 years old but the Smith and Pledger remix of Amsterdam is indeed stunning. Can't remember when I first heard it but its one of my top tracks too.

[@paulvaneyden2686]

I don't understand... Back in time in early 2000 there was way harder to produce any music. The technology was much more primitive than nowdays but that old trance music is way better than nowdays sh*t. I'm jealous about everyone who had the chance to dance or listen to this music when it was newly produce. I was born in 1994, and was a 10 years old kid in 2004 but I know propably every trance song from that era, but i didn't know any from present era... This era isn't worth to listen at all...
