Its so beautiful!, July 19, 2002
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Marsha's voice is so... beautiful. And can this single pack 7 mixes!Track 01: Castles in the Sky (Radio Edit) (3:45)- This is the version heard on the radio, very beautiful! I first heard this when the DJ on my radio station was doing a 1 man rave. Very good! Track 02: Castles in the Sky (Extended Mix) (6:42)- This version is the radio edit, but extended with an intro and outro for easy mixing. Still beautiful and has the same effect as the radio edit. Track 03: Castles in the Sky (Peter Luts Remix) (7:15)- This mix is a bit faster than the original, and a bit harder too. Unlike the original, Peter Luts adds his bass but keeps the original tune and vocals. Around here, this is what most DJs play, and it is easily seen why, good and the piano makes me cry...it's just so beautiful! Track 04: Castles in the Sky (Perfect Sphere Remix) (8:20)- This is the longest mix on the CD and not really worth listening. It has the main melody of the original, but not as powerful, since it's an instrumental. Good remix, but the most important part of a mix is the vocals, if it has any... Track 05: Castles in the Sky (Absolom Remix) (6:42)- A remix with a hard beat to it. Again, no vocals... so it won't make mainstream. This is, in my opinion the worst mix on the song, it just hurts your ears. Skip it! Track 06: Castles in the Sky (De Donatis Remix) (7:05)- This is the best remix off the CD, besides the originals. The mix has the original melody along with Marsha's voice in vocode in the beginning. The mix is pretty long, but the mix is so full of energy, you'll think it's just a few seconds! (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating) Th is one is also a tear-jerker; but danceable. Why not dance while you cry... Track 07: Castles in the Sky (Wippenberg Remix) (5:47)- This remix is just in your face. Fast and furious, so of course: danceable. The music kinda slows down when the vocals comes in, which is a good thing, unless you can keep on dancing. The bad point of this remix: Little vocals, Marsha just sings the one verse and the last 2 mintues are just vocals; which is typical of regular remixes, but let me remind you... it's only 5 minutes, only 1 minute there's vocals.
"Castles in the Sky" is a great club anthem with perfect vocals and lyrics to match. What more can you ask for! I bet we'll be hearing more of this group... Ian van Dahl. (I bet little knew that Ian van Dahl was a group!) ;)
