I'm still waiting for Nettwerk to respond to my servicing request.

I didn't even ask, it was just a nice surprise.

I can get you the name and email of the person who sent them to me if it will help?

They were just downloads, but they were high quality WAVs

Do they release single?
I am moving so I don't miss out this time! 8)

That's what's so funny. I've been contacted by them several times now to do a podcast and an interview, both of which I've already done. Um... Hello... MUSIC!!!!

That is strange!  Let me know if you want his contact info.

I know you're in contact with Nettwerk already, but sometimes talking to the right person can help.

Let me know when they do... 8)

Will do!

Does anyone know if there will be a commercial release of this on CD or digitally?

funny thing... beatport doesn't have it, but they have the album. Odd.

Don't know yet.

There's a UK promo CD that contains the following:

Sweet!

Looks like he may be caning that one  :)

I'm assuming some of you have heard two of the mixes on Carey's show, but here goes…

The Camel Rider mixes (128bpm) are pretty close to the original. Fairly housey and laid back.

The Giuseppe Ottaviani mixes (135bpm) are what I'd call dark trance. A lot faster, very driving. Most of the verses are vocoded. There are breaks where the chorus comes in and it sounds very pretty, like the original, then it goes back into the driving bits. There are no big, soaring detuned lead synths on this, thankfully.

The Phonat mix (128bpm) is I guess some kind of electro-house. The bassline slips around all over the place and he puts lots of weird effects on the vocals. The vocals are chopped up; little vocal sounds repeat over and over. Some bits are deliberately out of tune. At one point, the piano reappears and it sounds normal, and then goes back to the weirdness. It's very odd-sounding, and might work for some adventurous electro or house DJs.

Here's the ogs entry: http://www.discogs.com/release/1331624

Intriguing!  I wanna hear that one :)
