 |  Posted - 2009/02/17 :  12:20:20       I've been working on a cover of 'Veracocha - Carte Blanche', probably my favourite, epic trance tune from that era.
 
 Here's 320kbps version for download. Have a listen and please distribute freely:

 Let me know what you think. I love this track so I enjoyed making it.

 What he said.
 
 Although i do feel remixing this old classic trance tracks is unnecessary, and a bit of a step back for Hardcore whenever someone does. The track is ok but not dissimilar enough from the original tbh other than the change of bpm. I know im coming accross as a bit harsh but i hate remixes of trance classics with a passion, sorry. But the track IS quite well produced so cant fault you on that (well other than that bass
  ).

 |  Posted - 2009/02/17 :  12:52:14       Pretty much just trying to keep on improving on my producing skillz. I appreciate the comments and they're right really. I spose I just did it for my own entertainment and it would feel a bit wasted if I didn't post it.
 
 Yeah, it doesn't stray from the original too far other than the bpm and a few tweaks here and there.
 
 Just keeping you guys on your toes

 I agree with Meathead. Just a bit more originality required if you ask me.

 Speaking of other remixes of Carte Blanche, there's one on Balearic Bootlegs by someone anonymous, it's called Complete Freedom and it's got a cover of Push - Strange World on the B-side, which is also an ace track from back in the day.
