Has Lane 8 gone too far this time?

Lane 8 has done some pretty lush house. But has he over-reached himself this time? He’s only gone and remixed trance behemoths Above & Beyond. It’s one thing appearing on Anjunadeep, quite an other to mix A&B themselves.

The original has a bit of a Paco Rabanne feel to it (accentuated by the vid – see below) before becoming a disposable bit of EDM. It’s not bad enough to annoy but not good enough to listen. Where does Lane 8 start? He takes the chilled vibe of the intro and moves it back towards his favoured lush house territory to give something warm and velvety. Dammit, he’s delivered another corker. Silk Purse/sows ear. If only he’d lost the vocal, it would be perfect.
