5.0 out of 5 stars An anthem then, an anthem again. Remakes don't get much better than this.
Elles De Graaf, certainly not a newcomer to trance vocal, with Mind of the Wonderful with Blank and Jones, and probably her best known slice of work, Sound of Goodbye with Armin Van Buuren (as Perpetuous Dreamer), clocks in a monster summer anthem with Catch. Yes, I know the Martin Roth version is 3 minutes shorter than the vinyl, and yes, the hot club mix is missing...

3.0 out of 5 stars nice reprise of Kosheen, great remix by Martin Roth but edited
Alongside their mixed best of, Blank & Jones have released a new single, consisting of a reprise of the famous Kosheen's Catch. The vocals are done by Elles De Graaf (also on Perpetuous Dreamer's The Sound of Goodbye and Blank & Jones' Mind of the Wonderful).

The tracks:
1. Catch (Radio/Video Mix) 3:19
2. Catch (Progressive Mix) 8:04
3. Catch...

(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Catch (Audio CD)
Elles De Graaf, certainly not a newcomer to trance vocal, with Mind of the Wonderful with Blank and Jones, and probably her best known slice of work, Sound of Goodbye with Armin Van Buuren (as Perpetuous Dreamer), clocks in a monster summer anthem with Catch. Yes, I know the Martin Roth version is 3 minutes shorter than the vinyl, and yes, the hot club mix is missing too, but the fact remains that this track is one of the best remakes ever done in electronic/dance, and I have to say, with each listen, especially of the Martin Roth mix, I like it better than the original. You also get a good instrumental (nowhere near cheesy as the other reviewer states), and the video, making this a decent buy.

I know Kosheen fans are going to be in an uproar, but I really liked their original version when it came out, and still do, however their lead singer has a folk like voice, and was never suited for dance, they just happened to have a few vocal tracks that worked. This track with Elles De Graaf now on vocal, perks the track up to a livelier level, better suited for trance, and when you grab just about the best remixer of the moment, Martin Roth, you end up with the hardest hitting track of the summer, and possibly the year.

The tracks:

3. Catch (Martin Roth Remix Edit) 5:23
4. Revealed (Mac Zimms Remix Edit) 5:03

+ video of Catch

The Blank & Jones version features good vocal interpretation and is a nice, soft trance version. As they did with "A Forest".

The Martin Roth is an excellent club mix with a solid bass, vocal rework and great trance refrain; unfortunately, it was substantially edited compared to the vinyl release (3 minutes are missing). Although the song does not end with a fading, it is cut abruptly. For some reasons, the full remix is not included on the cd. Let's hope Water Music Records includes it on the US release.

The last track is a very bad, cheesy instrumental song.
