United Nations - Bootleg Series [United Nation]

12:39 - December 16, 2003

by Watts

United Nations is back again with the 4th in their United Nations Bootleg Series. This disc features fast paced harder renditions of the much loved classic 'Angel' by Ralph Fridge and the awesome 'Carte Blanche' by Veracocha.

Again, when you see the names of classics such as these, coupled with the word 'bootleg', people instantly - with good reason - begin to have doubts. Bootlegs of big trance anthems - has it been pulled off successfully this time round?

A-Side
The A-Side of this record is the Veracocha - Carte Blanche side. There are no indications of what is on this vinyl, so I was very surprised to hear what I did! It starts off quickly - approaching 150BPM so its not hanging around by any means - with a heavy kick, percussion and then a snare roll to lead into a brief break and then kick off into the heart of the tune. The sound created is very acid in style, with rough, hollow sounding bass, tinny synths and high pitched repetitive notes in the background. The breakdown really doesn't consist of any original samples apart from the building up sfx sound totally unique to the original Carte Blanche. Instead, some ambient synths are used to back a lonely sounding piano which plays the Carte Blanche melody. A quick transition is made to coarse hard trance synths playing the same melody, before the track jumps back into action at full speed and beats its way towards the end.

B-Side
This is the Ralph Fridge - Angel side. I was even more happy to recognise this tune because its an old favourite of mine which reminds me of some good classic times. The beginning of the track is again fairly standard and similar to the A-Side - a good hefty kick with percussion and a snare roll into a break which consists of original Angel vocal samples backed up by a dark coarse synthline. Then the track leaps full on into itself - growling bass, more acid type sounds and sfx in the background and a really dark and powerful feeling about the whole track is created. The breakdown is very very nice. It stays true to the original with very similar sounding quiet synths and vocals. Then the melody dives in again with a new but very true to the original sounding synth which builds you to a frenzy then launches you off into the main section of full on fast paced Angel action. This track works very well and its pretty much guaranteed to make you want to dance.

Conclusion:
Every cloud has a silver lining, and the B-Side is just that for this record. While the A-Side provides hard house and harder trance dancefloors with the magical Carte Blanche, it just doesn't contain the feeling and power of the Original in order to do it justice. The B-Side, however, is fantastic! Combining speed, power, a little darkness, faithfulness to the original and a few tweaks you're given a full on piece of Angel action which will ignite any harder dancefloor for sure.
