I’ve got an amazing story around how I first heard the track.
\nIt all started sometime in the beginning of 2000 when a friend of mine posted a sample of the track with only the vocal part which he heard in some DJ-set back then. I was a member of several housemusic-forums and the sample was posted on one of them in a section called \u201dName that tune\u201d.<\/p>\n
I was usually really good at naming tracks regarding all types of housemusic but this was a track I’ve never heard of before. I downloaded the sample and listened to it from time to time and even googled it (or whatever you used to use back then) with no result. I think it was perhaps 1,5-2 years later that I found out what it was called. Lyrics:<\/p>\n You can see forever Feel your way through the darkness Find your soul in the sunrise You can see forever Personal goosebump-points in the song:<\/p>\n 2:12<\/a> into the song when the main synth starts First time I heard the whole song was really amazed by the lyrics and the progressive sound that build and builds until the vocals start around 5 minutes into the song when everything starts to build once again.<\/p>\n I havent had the opportunity to hear anyone play it at any club but Markus Schulz<\/a> (Buy on iTunes<\/a>) did a remake of the song 2010. I first heard his version in march 2010 when he played at the Mondaybar<\/a> Spring Cruise. Back then he only had a non-vocal version but later that year he had Justine Suissa sing the new vocals for the track.<\/p>\n IMHO, Justine Suissa<\/a>’s vocals is pretty flat compared to the original vocals by Naimee Coleman<\/a> which has more feeling to them. Don’t get me wrong, I love Justine Suissas voice but in this case i’d go for the original any day of the week.<\/p>\n Worth noticing is that Naimee Coleman<\/a> did the vocals on Aurora<\/a>’s big hit, Ordinary World<\/a> (Buy on iTunes<\/a>), which was a cover of one of Duran Durans biggest hits. Aurora later did another cover on Tasmin Archer<\/a>’s big hit, Sleeping Satellite<\/a>. Besides singing on these tracks, she’s had an impressive Solo-career, opening gigs for bands and artists like Van Morrison, Susanne Vega, Jackson Browne, 10,000 Maniacs, Sinead O’Connor and Sting.<\/p>\n Cass & Slide<\/a> are Cass Cutbush<\/a> and Pete Martin<\/a> and they first teamed up back in 1999 when they both worked on a recordlabel called Flying Rhino Records in London. Their first release, Diablo was released on the label. <\/p>\n Cass later started his own recordlabel with fellow DJ, Lee Burridge, called Fire records where most of the Cass & Slide-material later was released. The track, Perception was an instant hit when world-famous DJ Sasha<\/a> featured it on his compilation, Global Underground 013: Ibiza<\/a>. Tiesto also featured it on his In Search Of Sunrise 2-compliation<\/a>, which came out in 2000.<\/p>\n After releasing their full-lenght album, Burning The Candle At Both Ends<\/a>, in 2002 there has been pretty quiet from Cass & Slide, especially after Cass’s label, Fire, went under in 2003. I saw some remixes by Slide in the mid of 2000 but none of them did any big impression on me.<\/p>\n I hope that you also find this track as good as I do so the spirit of Cass & Slide will live on forever.<\/p>\n Additional links: – Niklas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pl9tAtGsjTs&w=680&h=491] The next track i\u00b4m gonna feature is Cass & Slide \u2013 Perception [New Vocal Mix] (buy on iTunes which came out in the end of 2000.

\nUntil then I’d probably listened to the sample I had more than 100 times.<\/p>\n
\nLook inside of your mind
\nFind a sense another wonder
\nJust release the fears you left behind<\/p>\n
\nGuide your soul into the light
\nSwim into the open water
\nDrift on the tides that you may find<\/p>\n
\nLook around you can see it in their eyes
\nBe as one together
\nRise up as the emptiness subsides<\/p>\n
\nRise up together
\nSearch and you will find the answer
\nIf you look deep inside of your mind<\/p>\n
\n5:04<\/a> into the song when the vocals starts
\n5:47<\/a> into the song when the 2:nd verse comes in, also notice the main synth in the background fading up.<\/p>\n
