    Ever since I first heard that track, it was literally imprinted in my brain. Lost the songs name and producer over the years, but never forgot the melody, sometimes randomly humming it not even knowing why. Even today, it still sends shivers down my spine. Was so f*kin happy to rediscover it with the 2015 version! But I still think the original is best, its timeless :)

    I remember Armin saying that about Spiral. ASOT Episode 128. Then we went to see Armin spin live at The Quest in Minneapolis in 2003. He closed his set with Spiral and then went into Envio - Time to Say Goodbye. 4 hour set of pure trance, pure energy. I’ll never forget that night. The club was so in sync with him, the flow of the entire set was surreal. The golden era of trance. ❤️💯👍🏻🥂

      Envio! Another legendary producer! Would love to do an interview with him as well. He already agreed to it, so whenever he is back in the Netherlands (where I’m based) and if we both have time of course, we will try to make this happen!

    Spiral was possibly my favorite track from A State Of Trance 2004! After 1st listen it didn't really stick out in the compilation as one of the gems. I actually in a sense discovered the track years later and thought to myself, "this is totally amazing!" Definitely one of tge Top 100 Trance Tracks Of All Time!

    haha that's very interesting to hear Robert Nickson also into the synthwave scene. I've been into that scene probably around 2011 shortly before the film Drive came out. I've made friends with some of them along the way too. If you need some suggestions, I'd be glad to forward some of my favorite tracks.
    But more on topic, I loved Out There and Spiral when they came out. I was curious for Out There, the "5th Dimension" track was the instrumental version that released/produced first or the other way around?

      Thanks so much Mohamed! Glad you enjoy my channel! Agnelli & Nelson are on the list (will most likely be another track though), but since I live in The Netherlands and since I have no travel budget for these vlogs, I have to wait until one of the guys (or both) would be in the Netherlands for a show or something. So it might take a while, but they are on my wish list for sure ;-)

    There is no "Reason" to fret anymore. Since now he can soon use Reason 11 as a VST plugged into Logic or whatever DAW he have back there in the background, since it since version 11 will be availible as a VST. Personally however im going from Ableton to the genious Bitwig Studio! Sorry for straying away from the musicicial subjects, onto the more technical. Some of us producers cant help it at its moments.. (Ohhh by the way, i just drank "Plantation Pinapple" Rum tonight. - Tastes like Heaven on Earth !!! You should try it !!! 👍 😄 👍
