Remembering the greats.

OK so I've remodelled the blog just a little. I think the bright pink and purple and all that was getting a little tacky. And maybe the sidebar was full of junk too...i don't know. But my new logo (I use the term loosely because I've been using it everywhere else for quite a while) is up at the top now, and I think it looks better....but that's beside the point.

I've been surfing youtube and wikipedia-ing, etc etc for a couple weeks now and I'm stumbling upon some really old trance and it's all really good stuff. So I'm deciding to start a segment on here called "Remembering the Greats" or something....I will work on the name.

Basically the idea is to find the monster hits from back in the day, so you can also refresh the memory and have a listen. All will be posted here with their YouTube clips, maybe even some extra info behind the song. I find it interesting and I'm sure there's people who want to broaden their knowledge of the genre, some of the songs and the big artists.

Starting off with probably the most emotionally stimulating hit, Mauro Picotto's "Proximus"



This song uses a sample taken from Adiemus for those interested. I've found a video of the original which I embedded below. This piece was also covered by Enya for Lord Of The Rings, but here is a link to Wikipedia with more info on Adiemus.
