Sinéad O'Connor - Troy (Phoenix From The Flame)

08:39 - May 3, 2002

by Tim

This old tune has been given a face lift by Push and John Creamer & Stephane K. Bringing you two diverse styles.

In 2001 there was a bootleg doing the rounds called Troy – Troy that sampled vocals from the original song by Sinéad, and apparently she liked it, so some of the scene’s best remixers were given a chance to remix this song.

Tracklisting:
A: John Creamer & Stephane K Remix
B: Push Remix

A: John Creamer & Stephane K Remix
After their remix of Rapture, played by Sasha, Sander Kleinenberg, John Digweed and many others, John Creamer & Stephane K were considered as top notch remixers.
They were given a chance to remix this very old tune by Sinéad O’Connor, who brought us the infamous ‘Nothing Compares To You’.

It starts of immediately with a beat and a melody, that you can hear throughout the whole song. This is tribal at it best! At 1:30 some layers are added, but it’s still not too much, a great song to dance to.
The song uses the original vocals, unaltered, and keeping the same emotion in them.
The song lasts over 12 minutes but isn’t too long for my taste. Very powerful song, great bass, great remix in my opinion. But this is something for the progressive/tribal lovers, if you like uplifting, and you keep away from progressive/tribal, then you won’t like this remix.
You’ll love the B-Side.

A: Push Remix
This man hasn’t stopped for one single moment, to relax, he keeps pumping out new tracks, new remixes like it’s nothing. This remix was already featured on one of the best compilations 2002 has given us so far: John ‘00’ Fleming’s White Label Euphoria.

Starting off rather on the tame side, just a beat, and some vocals, it’s nothing special so far. But after about half a minute, you hear her voice, changed, altered, tweaked, all done by Push. And then, the melody begins, reminding me of his other project ‘Moon Project’ with Moments Are Forever. Great strings, emotional, quality dance-floor material. But you haven’t heard the entire song yet, and especially not the best part. That part starts at the 4.00 mark, with less layers, more vocals, and a breathtaking breakdown, followed by one of the best melodies I’ve heard in a long time.
First time I heard this, was on Fleming’s compilation album, and it gave me goosebumps.
Mike has again done what he does best: transforming tunes to dance-floor killing compositions. Top quality remix.

The two remixes are great and very diverse, there’s a remix for everyone on there, if you are a ‘proghead’ you’ll love the John Creamer & Stephane K remix, if you go for the uplifting bit, you won’t get enough from the Push remix.

9/10 for me!
