There's nothing quite like a good piano roll in Trance, is there? Actually there is: some good guitar notes. And this is precisely what the first version of the original mix is all about - a sweet, sweet guitar, and quite the energy level as well! Expect to hear some percussion too, they come by default with guitarish melodies anyway...

The second version of the original mix preserves the natural strings and adds some digital strings to them while at it. There's even a slight energy increase that I didn't mind at all!

Carl B for the remix, minimizing the use of guitar and maximising the use of synth, resulting in a pretty decent outcome, just not one as special as the originals.
04. slipstream__carl_b_peak_mix 07:39
His subsequent peak mix goes fully digital, stripping the guitar notes away to replace them with purely electronic sounds. Taken out of context, this would be worthy of a review in its own right. But given the uniqueness of the originals, this one is rather shadowed, though does sound better than his other remix.
