    Why people name this tune cheese, is beyond my understanding, and I'm a trance producer..maybe this tune isn't "fully" trance more like euro style, dance with a club feeling, basic construction of percussion and bass, the lead is iconic, the vocals are good..

      I bought everything Positiva put out at this time. When I first heard this I thought it was a bit bland compared to their usual output but it became a massive tune.I like the Dumonde mix, not least because it has no vocals in. Not that they're bad, just borderline cheese as already mentioned. Just listening to the original now I notice it lacks a lot of weight compared to the other 2 tracks. Thought this was down to there being 2 tracks on one side but doesn't seem to have affected the Signum mix.

      Pretty sure this was used as the backing to some track a while ago and was a hit, which shows its longevity. There were also a few bootlegs doing the rounds at the time (one with Rozalla vocals comes to mind), which was clever as I don't think an instrumental was ever released.

        No bad, but hardly genius. It's cheese, and only just gets away with it by the skin of its teeth. 3/5.

          I this being the track where at the time, i was new to trance, and saw this classified as trance. I loved this track when it was doing the rounds on promo. It tore up the clubs, it obviously crossed over and became a major hit. I still to this day hear this in clubs, which indicates just how good it is. Yes it's cheesy, yes its a simply melody, but if you were a clubber back in the summer of 1999, this tune was awesome.

          The signum mix is also very good, but not their best work.
