This is the definition of a true hidden gem. While it's true that Ferry Corsten was the definition of mainstream trance in the late 90s and 2000s, these remixes of tracks by forgotten artists were not easy to find until we had the technology to just type in "Ferry Corsten Remix". Ferry Corsten clearly understands what makes a good trance track better than almost anyone: beautiful and uplifting (but sometimes quite melancholy) chords and arpeggios, catchy basslines, and (relatively) simple drum programming, combined with excellent EQing and just the right amount of compression (which is to say not very much to all you modern trance artists). I met Ferry on vacation in Boston when he was touring with Markus Schulz under the name New World Punx, because he picked me exclusively (out of an audience of about 2000) to come on stage. I guess based on how excited I got when a specific and not very well known track was played, he realized that unlike most people who were in the audience I'm a true fan of trance. Ferry seemed like a cool dude from the short time I spent with him. I would do anything for this kind of trance to come back. If heaven exists and I'm not greeted me with trance music (and good drugs LOL), I don't wanna go to heaven!
Amen brother. These tunes were something else. To see what Tiesto and Van Buuren have gone to now really saddens me to cater for the noisy electric sound/mainstream i guess. They were masters at pure trance, many of us miss the old sound.
Around this time we used to plow through Wax, M8, DJ Mag, Mixmag etc for record reviews and then hit the local record stores to see what they'd got in or could order. There was a reasonable internet presence from big labels and big record stores in 2000 (Juno etc), so you could still find things. It definitely wasn't as easy today though, you're right.
I'll never forget this track off the first Trance Nation. I love the preacher soundbite in it as well. Familiar, uplifting and comforting. A bit of warmth on this cold night. Thank you🙌 🌌
@@trancemaster871 yessir you're absolutely right it was the OG version on TN1. You can definitely hear the difference side by side. System F's mix is badass but the original holds a special place in my heart. You know your stuff T.M. and are deserving of your title 🙌
@@MichaelBoogerd the first trance nation is what got me into the whole trance scene. I was around 12 or 13 when I bought that cd with my paper round wages! I agree that cd 2 was the bomb back then but as I got older I appreciated cd1 too! And I actually enjoyed trance nation 3 also, some belters on that compilation
One of my top ten personal favorites - not that anyone gives a shit - rolling balls in those days. Had one of the best times of my life while my car was being hand-washed; just sitting inside, blaring this song and smiling at the workers. Good times.
This is one of the best tracks on Gatecrasher Red - my second favourite Trance album behind Gatecrasher Disco-Tech. Really stands out half way through disc one
I remember how difficult it was to find this track on cassettes in Ukraine back in 2000 (giant shame that CDs were too expensive for most of us, vinyls were just something from another world or Hollywood movies). And in that time this track was two heads higher and 10 years ahead of everything that we heard on tape. Any other trance track was just a "kid's tinkering around the synths" comparing to THIS.
This is Proper and Pure Trance music. Goosebumps!
Still gives me massive goose bumps all over!

This isn’t a hidden gem mate. It was high profile, certainly in U.K. Europe. Pleased you enjoyed your experience
I miss these old trance songs, the new one out today is so damn shitty. Anyone else have any more of his old golden days you recommend ?

Let God be ..what He want to be .. . in your life
Does anyone know where i can find the full prayer? im not religious, Just love what it says and not only that the love for this belter of a tune
This stands out from the usual trance stuff....has an eerie vibe and a story to it
It’s really fantastic!
beacuase it has a meaning that only comes clear later in life that will bring tears to your eyes
Tears. What a time to be alive.
Perfection in each and every detail of this massive powerful tune.
The dutch trance master Ferry Corsten in the good old days stunning trance track 😊💽 🎶🎶🎶

That's the og mix he played on the first trance nation in 99 then he played this version on trance nation 2 I still got both compilations

@@trancemaster871 those first 2 editions of Trance Nation were so good.. probably my most played cd’s ever... especially cd 2 from the first edition.

@@Paulsie85 i remember buying it at tesco after final exams at school. sweet 16 and a hot summers day. i fukin miss those days of trance so much.
02:03 | REVELATION 3:20 "I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Trying to find this exact clip, no idea who that it.
The golden ferry corsten's touch 💝🔊👍
All you need is This sound. Let it into your mind. Let go the pain. Be alive. Let it carry you forward to greatness.
Saw Ferry live in Copenhagen 5 times 2001/02, this was played pretty frequently 👍👍
Those were the days

Good times.
Haha! Rolling nuts, gettin the car washed! Hey, anything is fun when you’re rolling!
incredible comment, i care mr. grenadier, i care.
@@ryanbird3116 Damn skippy.
@@tonyfourhunnid We both care, and that's x 2..
This one's a dope highway jam - a couple months ago this came on while I was cruising along with two other cars doing about 105mph!
One of my very first vinyls that I bought. Still stands up today. What a track!!!
This is one of the best tracks on Gatecrasher Red - my second favourite Trance album behind Gatecrasher Disco-Tech. Really stands out half way through disc one
Gatecrasher had a “Red n Black” night at the Republic in Sheffield. That stabbing bassline nearly knocked the place over.
Oh to be 17 again
@@jamesparker8086 I have seen photos of Gatecrasher at the Republic around that time, looked amazing! Unfortunately I did not go there!
Being able to catch a bus and listen to this for 12 hours was the best thing ever
So many layers of beautiful ferry magic. 🙌
First heard this on Trance Nation 4! Epic tune 🙌
The bit from 2:07 in the video and then the build up and drop!
Get's me every time ❤
Massive fan love 😇🙏🏿💖💖🏴🏴

The soundtrack of my life
