Lost Witness ~ Wait For Me
Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 10:10 amThe name Lost Witness is no stranger to any old school trancer. Hits like Seven Colours, Happiness Happening, Red Sun Rising, Song To The Siren, and Did I Dream are essential chapters in the history of Vocal Trance. When I first read that Simon & Simon are making a come-back, the biggest smile was drawn on my face, because Lost Witness was my favorite Vocal Trance act back in the early days. Here is their latest release, Wait For Me, with the sweet voice of Andrea Britton from Matt Darey's Take My Hand.

An instumental mix was released not long ago, but Lost Witness is not name of which you want to hear dubs. Very sweet vocal trancer here, not as massive as the old Lost Witness sound, but definetly quality. The only bad thing is that it's only 6 minutes long so it leaves you asking for more...

This one is more energetic, a bit on the cheese side maybe? Just check it out and judge for yourselves, but it's definetly no match to the original.

This remix is even shorter than the original! EVerything that is less than 7 minutes gets on my nerves
The start promises a soft Thrillseekers-like mix. And indeed, the breakdown affirms my expectation. A very sweet progression of keys, no major drumroll but rather a simple re-insertion of the beat. Very simple remix, nothing too special about it but worth 5:41 minutes of your dull life

Now this remix is the only one with a decent length: 8:24! It was playlisted by Judge Jules during the summer. The vocals are given a dreamier effect here, to our good fortune that is. 3 minutes through the waves and the breakdown crashes on us; a decent breakdown this time. Andrea's voice truly shines here, sweet and powerful at the same time, something rare to find in vocalists. As for the melody, well it simply beats all the 3 other mixes. If you were to check just one remix of this release, this would be it. Thumbs up!
Compared to Lost Witness' early works, this release doesn't stand out. It is more commercial-oriented than undergroundish. I'm not saying it sounds bad, but it surely doesn't live up to the level of the classics I enumerated in my intro. As for that Quadrophonic Remix, well that's one definetly worth checking out - as sweet as vocal trancers can get.
