3:42 amazing track
Easily one of the most impactful and powerful trance tracks in existence.
What an era this was. The greatest, nothing gets near this, nothing. Emotion, feels, uplifting, vocals to die for. I miss it so much.
Should add, tracks that weren’t rushed, not 3 mins long with a wee build up and some crappy drop then ends a minute later. This era was 6 mins plus and was perfect.
glad to know there are others who remember this era of trance and feel similar to how I do. nothing compares and it was trance in it's rawest form. it really bothers me when people use the label trance nowadays as it's nothing like it was before
This song is pure magic! Im trying to find similar tracks, can you recommend the years I should be looking at? Or even a playlist? Thanks!
Im 58 and still see this as perfection ..to this day no one else has come close to this banging tune
Easily one of the top trance tunes of all time.
GOAT
Seriously, this tune will go down in history.
For me this track and this remix is in the top 5
This deff is to a top tronce chune
the best way of Describing this tune
Literally one of the saddest songs I've listened to in electronic music. Lyrics of struggle, loneliness, and pain. Too impactful
I just dont understand how we had Trance like this and not a single person is making anything that comes close to it today? How? Surely there must be someone, but there isnt. It's like everyone forget a key secret when making Trance music.
this is because the ease of accessibilty to Music production tools and softwares that makes music production more quick and easy which results being less creative, unlike back in the days when Hard-work and patience was the Key to attain Masterpiece like this TRACK.
@@ganeshvadcar8098 Three problems with this - 1. Many, many of the best tracks ever made were done in under 5 hours. 2. There are absolutely producers out there spending hours upon hours on tracks, learning software, learning hardware and putting in the effort, but they still cant deliver. 3. Even the guys who made classics for a decade cannot reach those levels again, despite still having that knowledge and skill.
I've heard stuff from Activa recently that's pretty close
This is one of the greatest Trance songs of all time
check out Ben Hemsley - erase me
Erase me is good, but has nothing on this.
Best remix. Period. So much nostalgia and feels... Almost uncomfortable... Time flew past, and we can never go back... And i miss you
Ditto my friend.
Classic Trance nostalgia hits you so hard it's almost painful :(
No, the best remix is from Super8 & Tab
Super 8 & Tab mix is awesome,so is this tho
nope,this is better ;)
4:10 - that melody is so fantastic ,so magic🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's 2021 and I'm still trembling... My body is shaking when hearing every single supernatural tone. What an absolute masterpiece in trance history
absolutely
Im happy Im not the only one.
Pure beauty.
Ditto. Proud to own this on vinyl as well.
Magic
When Trance music was a real music. Quality top of the top. Best years and era back then.
when gaster talking
@@saoylis Haha 😛
ABSOLUTLEY so agree back then music was music
I was so damn fortunate to be a young teenager when so many classics were being released. Van Dyk, Armin, Tiesto, early Above & Beyond. They dont do them like this anymore, some are bringing it back though.
The way the bassline plays with her voice at 3:40 is just chill-inducing
Nearly 20 years on and this track still gives me goosebumps
Good tunes hold their worth❤
Only the real trance fans know this one.
Not only, I like all kinds and can tell when hear one good like this
@@gusmarokity6482 made cry a lot
@@chimaobimadukwe4084 You mean, the music made you cry?
Yup...
@@chimaobimadukwe4084 Hope, it was for happiness.
13 years has gone, and yet it's still mesmerizing
my eyes are still rolling listening to this in 2023
2020 in pandemic? Nostalgic, is real trance bro.....
I think this is in the top 3 best Trance tracks ever!
listening this track in 2020 is like...you reconnected with old love, so close, yet so far. shivers. they just don't do these kind of tracks anymore.
Well said Martin. This one is timeless, the essence of trance. "But when I close my eyes, I can only see...miles of headlights.."
Same. This hits so close to home.
@Robin Visser any other good ones you know of ?
I was in 7th GRADE (2007) I had asked my friend to share some Good house and trance Music on my CD-RW, the next day he gave it to me,
I returned back home quickly from school, and started to play the music on my Dad's JVC HiFi DAC System, and to my surprise most of the trance collection in that CD-RW were so good that I skipped my evening play time, and also those were my First Trance collection back in the days,
and it was at this moment when I heard "Luminary - Amsterdam (Smith & Pledger Remix)" after listening to prev tracks for hours, I was hooked, I played the same track on repeat for at least 10x, ever since that day this track has been, and it will always be my most favorite Trance tunes of all time, I still have the CD-RW copy with me today,
this track is Pure Nostagia and feel good Anthem.
This track was much ahead of it's time and even today.
The Oliver Smith/Mark Pledger masterpiece is by far the best trance remix ever.
Its 2019, im 32 years old and I use to run this record edge to fucking edge when in the mix with it. Unreal tune, unreal remix.
fuck yeah man.. fuck yeah, that energy is irreplaceable
This one touches the soul.
Exactly
Legend.
Восхитительный трек!
Почти 20 лет прошло, а так же красиво!
This is the best remix of any track Anjunabeats has ever released. Everything about this remix is perfect.
this.
@@Artikulit ya bro this perfect remix
Still prefer Super8 & Tab mix
@@hellowill this is better Smith pleder better version uplifting trance gd
@@hellowill super 8 & Tab is really good , but this one tops all
MY eyes is crying.... best track ever
One of the best Trance Songs of all Time 👍
best track ever..........
Hearing this song again gives me the chills. Shivering shaking 😮

The sound of perfection. Undoubtedly one of the top 5 greatest of all time ☮️

this track makes me equally sad and happy...love it
Underground or Aeroplane
Doesn't matter in the end
I know it has to be this way
You're leaving me again
So I'll write my little love song
And sing it to the wind
You're out there on the road tonight
London, New York, Amsterdam
And I'm lonely here without you
Miss your breath against my skin
You love me then you leave me
Still I lie here pressing fingers where your kisses have been
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
I know I should be in bed
And its almost 3am
But when I close my eyes I can only see miles of headlights
Flashing out the distance
So I'll sing my little lonely songs
It's just part of who I am
'Cause I know that its been calling to you
London, New York, Amsterdam
Thanks mate, this lyrics touched my soul
A state of Bliss
have some serious appreciation for this one. what a track.
The best accolade a song can achieve is 'timeless' and this song is exactly that. Its soo good, still hits as hard as when I first heard it all those years ago. It has everything, good vocals, driving beats, a breakdown that takes just the right amount of time, not overstated which seems to be the norm in most songs! Followed by a substantial dose of euphoria and a wee bit of groove in the latter stages. Its got everything, my favourite dance track of all time 😍
WHAT A CLASSIC!
the best soundtrack for brand reviev---> Lamborghini Intro
MY GOD. THE AMOUNT OF NOSTALGIA I FEEL WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS SONG. GREAT OLD TIMES :)
One of the best tracks I've ever heard! I love how this track is build and travels through the story. First: restless, pushing beats - you can tell there's something wrong (voice samples in the background). I especially love the contrast between the desperate, lonely voice and the pushing beats. Then the bridge: So absolutely desperate, the voice is almost sobbbing and crying (listen for the little melody and the fading sounds) This feels so absolutely, deeply sad! Then there comes the light (3:43) - the hope returns and never leaves us for the rest of the song. I get goosebumps every time. The beats sound so hopeful and drive us to go on - make the next step out of misery, and the next one, the next one... Wow, this song is almost lyrical! I just LOVE this track!
Love decompositing the tracks' feelings like you do
I imagine driving on japanese car with neon lights in the nighttime Amsterdam with this track though
very very true, the song's incredibly openhearted thus it grows on me every time!
Wow, every aspect about this tack you explained I could relate to which part of the music you were referring to, incredible decomposition 💯
I used to drive the piss out of my 2006 VW GTi at 3am listening to this song. Every corner, every curve, and every straight away, to the MAX! I understand you SunInDJector’s Lab
this is a masterpiece
this is for sure one of the most beautiful songs ever
Its 2019 and still a gem 💎
i miss you, i miss these tunes :(
Known the original track for years but somehow never came across this mix. Wowowow! Absolutely amazing...
Best mix of this song, no question. Incredible! If I had a dollar for every time I've listened to this by now, I could retire in style...
Wow, epic Comment
Still is, and always will be, in my Top 10, if not top 5, tracks of all time. Reflective, Emotive, everything you'd ever want from a track. Period. I REALLY do miss you....
My top 3 ❤️🔥 ....
Best trance track of all time
Trance is peculiar. I can listen to certain songs on loop for hours and never get bored.
Trance even without vocals can be played on repeat way more than any other genre... Every play tells you a personalized story unique to your heart and soul👌💯
Easily in my top 3.
This song.... This song.
This is good enough to weep or feel happiness. Its a legendary tune.
Even after 100 listens still hits me as new every time
If there is a song that captures the soul and vibe of trance at its peak, its this one. Still haunting after so many years..
Still holds so well today, a timeless classic. They don't make tracks like this anymore :(
Goosebumps 🔥
Honestly the greatest track ever produced (in my opinion), still listen to this all the time to this day. Something about the production value and story telling just hits on this one, haven't heard anything come close.
One of the best remixes from Anjunabeats' history.
Still get goosebumps listening to this absolute gem of a tune. All time classic! 🔥🔥🔥
I remember listening to this track when I was 11 years old inside of the school every afternoon.
Me too 💙🎊🙏
It is just incredible how easilyI can close my eyes and take a journey back in time by 20 years. The absolute love for the music that will make me cry if I let it. Such beauty here!
Trance can make me dance, smile and cry at the same time. It's a pure emotional release
@@internationallanguageofdan3559 Absolutely!
Had totally forgotten about this bad boy,vocals give me chills💯🔥
Ynwa red, saludos desde venezuela.
If you’re coming back to listen this masterpiece in 2022, congratulation you still have a great taste in music.
2023 but I agree.
2024
Unreal progression, the production is out of this world, the tempo my goodness! Makes me think of all the late night walks during all my trips to London! The Skyscrapers, almost scary, yet overwhelmingly beautifully constructed, almost a perfect representation of the song itself!
This has been one of my favorite trance songs for like 10 years! I still listen to it regularly.
What an incredible classical masterpiece trance music track this is the Smith & Pledger remix of Amsterdam is truly spectacular listening to this beautiful remarkable music track will take the listeners on magical journey of trance music no words can adequately describe how sensationally wonderful this timeless classic music track is when the music is emanating from the speakers it will provide instant gratification for the listeners hearing pleasure definitely thumbs up for this spectacular music track I miss the good old days hopefully this type music makes a comeback that would be so special.
Thank you for existing. I rarely have close friends or family who can quite articulate or appreciate much of the trance and techno, and other genres of EDM that I love. Its always heart warming and quite hopeful for me to see other individuals around the world who can truly show that they hear, feel these types of tracks with the same intent and emotional response that I do. Well written. I absolutely agree with your small summary.
I loved your comment, Now I know, I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Still absolute perfection in 2023
Yes! I'm always thrilled to see what Smith and Pledger has to bring to the table.
The best anjuna track ever released. Fact
I heard this Track Live during Anjunabeats Live @Anjuna Beach, Goa, India.
Felt Iconic.
Legendary mix
What a fucking classic... How can this still give goosebumps after all these years? What is it about trance... Can someone write a dissertation on this? This track has deep sentimental value if you were born before 1990
Underrated ❤
Easily top 5 Anjunabeats song for me.
What would the other 4 be in your opinion?
@Pat Oswald Shadows Movement and Together are Anjunadeep so you can take them out ; )
For what it's worth, mine are:
1. Tranquility Base - Buzz (Buzztalk Mix)
2. Oliver Smith - Nimbus
3. Maor Levi - Shapes (Oliver Smith Remix)
4. Signalrunners - Electric Sheep (Nitrous Oxide Remix)
5. A&B - Good For Me or Home (Club Mixes)
I really can't choose between the last two! Both are incredible. Good For Me slightly more melodic yet Home is more euphoric. Really tough.
this is a top 5 song in all of trance for me
My top 5 Anjunabeats (if you know Anjunabeats discography it becomes very very very tough!!!)
1. OceanLab - Satellite (Original Above & Beyond Mix)
2. Luminary - Amsterdam (Smith & Pledger Remix)
3. Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston - Good For Me (Club Mix)
4. Boom Jinx feat. Key - Eternal Reminiscence
5. Carrie Skipper - Time Goes By (Super8 Bangin Mix)
You can find all these and more classic in my Anjunabeats Essentials Mix part one: drive.google.com/file/d/1R7GIF2jtr82h7T0I7gIFzjD-WZqdMNL8/view?usp=drivesdk
I'll give this a go as well!
There's so many good songs on Anjunabeats, but especially with focus on the "classic" stuff, my TOP5 in no particular order would be:
2004: Endre - I Kill For You (Probspot Remix)
2005: Luminary - Amsterdam (Smith & Pledger Remix)
2006: Above & Beyond - World on Fire (12' Remix)
2007: Evbointh - One Wish (Daniel Kandi & Mark Andréz Remix)
2009: Mat Zo - Lucky Strike (everything he made was gold though, hard to pick)
In Trance We Trust
Absolute awesome tune .
Great track ,put headphones 🎧 on and fly ✌️
05:29 : only true trance listeners can hear and feel the rise of deep sounds!!!!! Because we fell in love with these sounds... we are still in love..... Even if trance music ends, the way these songs make us feel will never end. It's still very nice and still feels like the first day.
This is a true Classic masterpiece. You litsen it with your soul and heart
This track will always have that haunting feel to it. Timeless vocal Trance. Good memories...
Smith & Pledger back in the day was the best duo on trance stage. They had many tunes, maybe some two or three are not spectacular or amazing, but they didn't deliver anything, I mean ANYTHING worse than at least good quality uplifting trance. So much good tunes from these two guys, I whish they could have make a comeback one day as a duo...
it's mind boggling how many quality tunes they put out together. Literally every tune is a classic in my book.
its one of best trance music
This is an all time favourite! Nothing beats the classics ❤️️
Oliver Jack Smith and Mark Pledger are legends!
Well, apart from nostalgia and the fact that this is the best trance record of all time, it has everything what today trance hasn't...
this song is too good to be true. This shouldnt exist in this time and space, absolutely out of this world!
It also has a Finnish connection (record label Anjunabeats), I really like the original as well!
Indeed in the top 10 list of all time trance tracks.
One of the finest remix in Trance !
Euphoric as FUUUARRKKKK
Historic trance!
2020 !!!
In my top 10 all time trance tracks.
Just wonderful 💙
Absolutely agreed
i always lowkey liked trance but never really got into it, cant believe i missed bangers like these until now
Enjoy the ride bro
Plenty of catching up to do
Goose bumps all the way through.
Timeless tune.
Heard this on a radio show dedicated to trance/progressive music, which was recorded way back in 2006. So glad I could find this gem here
Absolute class! I'm in year 2056 and still listening!
Y'all have no idea how many deep night long miles went by to this.
2 million. Was my grand total and this saw a few.
Thank you for reeling in my home... time and time again.
OMG soooo deeep track. Not for beginners. Its for Trance experts .
hahaha
Agreed, this is a deep banger!
Hell yeah💯
as trance fans we're an inclusive bunch - if you like it, you're a friend. It shouldn't be elitist. But thank f** we're not talking about crazy frog....
Well said my son, well said
first listened to this one around 2008, things were different,life was different and listening to this at 2017, i am so glad this song still makes me feel that way even though things have changed so much
Beautiful tune 💫💙
So beautiful!!
Recalled the moment when I heard this tune when I was in Amsterdam. The chills, the goosebumps... Time before COVID felt like a century ago.
I had the best of Dutch trance volume 1 🔥🔥🔥 that was epic
LOVE THIS SONG , FROM VENEZUELA
Amsterdam has changed my Life forever. #ABGT200 😘
