Sneaky Alien Blue Stream Original Mix

Blue Stream Original Mix (Written by S. Porter / Stefan Pierlejewski) . The original version of this track was created in the summer of 1995, way before Sneaky Alien even existed. The name Sneaky Alien came about because I was programming a sound on a Roland JD800 Synthesizer (before we moved to Manchester and set a studio up there) and the sound was like a twisting and morphing shape shifting sound and I said without even thinking 'listen to that, it sounds like some sort of insidious sneaky Alien crawling around', and Tony Burgess who was part of what became Sneaky Alien was in the room and said that it would be a cool name for a label/band, so we dropped the insidious part and just kept Sneaky alien. I was in a music outfit called RESINator (before I moved from my home town of Liverpool to Manchester) and we made up to 160 bpm hard dance music based around breaks and 4 to the floor beats. Anyway, over a couple of days in the summer the sun was amazing and it was all fuzzy warm and chilled out, and I had just bought a Quasimidi Quasar 'synth' module and wanted to make a track with it, so, just to have a rest from making all this fast music I wrote this and recorded it to tape and forgot all about it. We moved to Manchester after meeting Stefan Pierlejewski from APL (A positive life) who was already a well established writer/producer/sound and mix engineer and I played him some stuff including the tape that had the original version of this track. A few months later we were in the studio and he asked what was that 'house' track I played to him, so the session was loaded (Cubase) and we started to work on it together. Stefan helped with the musical arrangement of the music so it would work better for DJ's playing it in a club and added bits/fills etc, added the gated female vocal sample that comes in and also mixed it all so it sounded like a properly mixed and produced record(I can Still picture Stefan hunched over those mixing desks as the gated vocal came in(we had 3 Yamaha 03d's all synced up)). Then we stripped away all the strings/synths and just left the drums, atmospheres and bass lines and added a choppy synth and vocal samples and made the deep and long mix which ended up on Sasha's Global Underground 009. If you listen to the track you can hear the beginnings of the deep and long mix with bass line/drums etc. Most of the track was made using a Quasimidi Quasar and the strings are from a Roland JD800 synthesiser.
