- You must be saying to yourself, “Why remix a classic?” Why even bother trying to repeat successes from the past when there are new tunes being produced every second. Well, it seemed that Canberra local, Vance Musgrove was at it again with another remix for one of electronica finest tracks ever produced: God Within’s “Rain Cry”. You may remember his last remix of Danny Tenaglia’s house classic, “Elements”. Dorigen Limited has snapped it to its new imprint that caters more left of center sounds and music.
The release sees only a one-sided outing in the Vance Musgrove Mix on the main-side. The first good 30 seconds are devoted to a heavy bass kick that quickly adds in a drum kick with soft production from the original Rain Cry. The track is entirely built around the heavy bass kick to make your booty shake all night long. From that b-line, the track merges into a classic trance/progressive state of affairs. With that first breakdown to calm the track from driving too hard, too fast; it catches itself and keeps that nice four to the floor action throughout the track mixed in with Rain Cry’s old school trance melodies and powerful syncs that stirs up blissful memories of late-night barn raves in the countryside. The track’s good no doubt and it consist of one part for the fist half and then is looped back for the second half.
What else can you say except that you can’t keep classic’s down for long nowadays without it being 'revamped' unofficially or even officially now with many labels re-releasing popular and well known tracks as of late. God Within’s original from the Hardkiss stable has been hammered by everyone from Sasha, to Laurent Garner, John Digweed, to Koma & Bones. Vance Musgrove has added his ideas into a hard driving mix that still keeps the mood setting of the original. Not bad at all for a timeless classic that helped defined the modern sounds of electronica in the early hours of the 1990’s.
