Originally produced by renowned Australian DJ Anthony Pappa, 'Skydive' initially surfaced in August 1998. Although proving itself as a huge underground anthem, upon its initial release the single failed to sell as well as it ought to have done. Almost two years on, this dark, melodic fusion of progressive house and trance has received a long overdue re-issue, with Way Out West & Mara remixes to boot. Featuring the beautiful ethereal vocals of Jan Johnston, who has the distinction of being the most famous and revered trance vocalist in the UK, (having previously worked with the likes of BT, Victor Imbres, Paul Oakenfold, Jamie Myerson and Tomski), Ms. Johnston's sultry performance helps to distinguish the track from the mounds of progressive material already available. As far as club reaction is concerned, this tear-inducing track will ignite any floor with its gorgeous hypnotic groove and unmistakeable vocal hook.

Skydive is a classic which is only now starting to get the recognition it deserves (through inclusion on Gatecrasher Global Sound System, etc). It's less accessible than your average cheesy trance song, but is ultimately more rewarding. I love the bittersweet, intelligently-written lyrics and the funky intro. One for the heart AND the mind.

Vocals of Jan Johnsten are mesmorizing. Hella good song! Lyrics and rhythm of it will stay with you.

How can i have ignored this stuff that long, this really sounds like something new in the actual musical landscape. reminds me some of the best u96 sounds, but with better layout. a must heard...nears creating a riot each time i play the cd ! sorry for my english....a+
