SASHA --- ARKHAM ASYLUM

SASHA ARKHAM ASYLUM - PROGRESSIVE AMBIENT -

[@Cykelpump33]

You know what, i say it! This track is THE Sasha(thx Spooky) track. Xpander & Scorchio doesn't hold a candle to this magic. This track simply got it all, starts of heavenly and then when you think it's over...it drags you from hell and back to eternity! Shout-out to Oakie for featuring this one as an opener for his immortal Twilo mix too...

[@andy8eck]

The memories, stood in a tiny kitchen after a night out, belt drives on the side, arkham asylum in full effect, couldn't be happier :) bloody luv Sasha

[@JanovSeldon]

I've loved this since I first heard it in '97 and every time I hear it I cannot help but marvel at the beauty of the interwoven sound layers. The strings are incredibly beautiful. A sound one could never tire of. The track Sasha did with Maria Naylor - The Other Side - is very similar in tone.

[@juliantech1]

absolute heaven for the ears, always my favorite sasha track, i too never understood why it was so rare to find, the flute sound towards the end sends shivers down my spine, fantastic

[@grahampearson6333]

Don’t make tracks like this anymore, timeless and Sasha at his finest.

[@alexbullen]

classic record. amazing melody...

[@ZacharySound]

When I first heard this track on a mix comp CD it actually had me tearing up (and I don't know why). When the LFO filter kicked in around 9:00 minutes in - it stirred my emotions like 'what the fuck?'. Wasn't on any drugs. Really odd feeling but it was awesome. I was just driving along in the car on a rainy day while listening to it. The melodies pierce your mind. I have this on a variable bit rate MP3.

[@vega87ful]

FANTASTICO!!

[@Pooknottin]

First tune I ever forgot I was listening to. Wonderful piece of music. Pride of place in my small collection.

[@Gravitating]

I enter this Tune feeling like a Man.. I get spat out the other side feeling like an Infant..

[@DJUNITEMC1972]

Class in the Asylum,,,,Tune! Go Sash.

[@SailfishSoundSystem]

I have it on vinyl and I'm glad that others can listen to it. Cheers.

[@ianm4036]

Pure Trance! Wonder if Sasha will travel back to his original music and produce more epic trance? *hint, hint*

[@Juniar101]

best listened to from start to finish...great piece of prog trance business. The flip side 'ohmna' is amazing as well

[@waynelittle646]

Classic Sasha

[@katb4149]

Love this!

[@hobary1]

Masterpiece

[@snap8626]

techno. thats the reason. and tiesto started calling his music trance, instead of shit, which is the correct description.

[@seq2024]

Sasha has always held that trademark value into what was called trance music back then.

[@Pooknottin]

Wtf? Trademark value? Fucking kids. Sasha has been about for far longer that that bullshit.

[@seq2024]

Kids. When when were you born? Give as 10 tracks before Arkham.

[@frankiefrontbottom]

awesome tune. love it loads.

[@oliverspen]

cheers for posting, one of sashas un sung tracks and in my opinion his best

[@paulsleighty]

I love this ep version of Arkham Asylum. I have a much shorter version on a compilation cd. I can't find this version anywhere as I would love to buy it.

[@Pooknottin]

Order online - don't believe it's out of circulation.

[@DavidLovasMusic]

It really is a shame. I got into trance a couple years ago via Armin Van Buuren's ASOT... after a couple years that show started to go south and I started digging towards releases from the past. I'm glad I've strayed from ASOT (I want nothing to do with it these days) - my favorite year for this kind of stuff is 2000. Great compilations are: "The Abyss: A Journey into Deep Trance", as well as John Digweed & Sasha's - "Communicate."

[@JanovSeldon]

It's definitely one of his best tracks and there's a collaboration with Maria Naylor (The Other Side) that's almost as good as this, certainly a very similar track. There's so much in terms of layered sound with this track that it gives goosebumps every time. Absolutely fucking awesome.

[@STGR1969]

Excellent track, as is the flip side. I have the original DC release on 12" like new... Love it!!!

[@CrescendoEvents]

Epic masterpiece, his best. Didn't hear it much in 1996 mind & why was it so rare?

[@TheTrancemaster90]

oh man, oh man...

[@northernmonkeyjiujitsu]

By far his best track, sublime and aural heaven :) Takes me back to happy days in clubland and after parties with this track :)

[@StormCentre88]

Mega Legendary Sasha toone.

[@riseup20twelve]

you know you have to do the brilliance in 1080 bro... just magnificent x

[@rossturnbull8632]

At this mo all others lag behind sasha as far as I'm concerned...

[@quentinraffensperger6418]

xpander is still my favourite tracks by Sasha.

[@mounial1980]

THIS IS ART!!!

[@electrikevin]

masterpiece, priceless, it sounds like heaven.

[@andrewhodgson6866]

Mate ! This was 1996 ! And its still his finest moment, besides Mr Tiddles . . . .

[@ZacharySound]

Its 2019 and - yes still.

[@geezatap]

Dunno. Northern exposure 2 is beyond legendary. This is right up there tho. Or live at manumission

[@EMarSounds]

Class haven't heard this for long time

[@Anipleex]

fucking masterpiece!! just discovered this track and older trance tunes. its fucking incredible!! why doesn't trance sounds like this anymore?! a shame

[@JuneSadness]

♥

[@simbatron24]

be as one is the best sasha track by far

[@julierussell5085]

GOT IT GOING ON IN THE MIX DORSET UK CREW WITH LOVE XXXX

[@STGR1969]

@ Daniel, Ohmna is on the flip. Classic stuff.

[@aboemusic]

it's a nice track once it eventually gets going..., it's got a nice groove to it from about 07:07 onwards... the sort of tune you'd listen to whilst indulging in some wild lust

[@ProgressingMedia]

2018

[@danieldemasi6480]

What was the flip side...I got it in my garage somewhere but havent got the 1210's out for a while.

[@cd78]

@JanovSeldon eloquently put. I concur about the layers. Like Salt and Pepper on a chicken

[@dman644]

this shit is deep as fuck

[@peterrobinson2987]

aaah. Expander. :) Silly me. KZbin knows best! :)

[@paulrudd4359]

try popof - serenity or worakls - vertige or gui boratto - matryoska, my friend

[@peterrobinson2987]

What was the flipside called, again? Just as good, only different. :)

[@chadmira]

Ohmna

[@VyktorAbyss]

great track when it gets going, but on repeat i find myself skipping to 7 minutes every time.

[@ivarsvensen1228]

Too right! One of my favourite alltime tracks. It really doesn't sound like this anymore... Must correct you in that this is progressive house, not trance... Sorry....

[@geezatap]

Ivar Svensen progressive as it gets! As they say, labels are bollocks, just damn great music!

[@cd78]

because its not trance my friend.
