cygnus x - the orange theme

[lkoll]

it has such beautiful music! but then its destroyd by this awful sound!!!
does anyone have a nice remix of this?

[DJLifeAndDeath]

Oh Yes!! Yes, yes!! (Pure classic!! matey!)

We have the following... (In no real order)

The Orange Theme (Bervoets & De Goeij Mix aka Rank 1)
The Orange Theme (Solar Stone Remix)
The Orange Theme (Man With No Name Remix)
The Orange Theme (Moonman's Orange Juice Mix)
The Orange Theme (Mark Van Dale with Enrico Remix)
The Orange Theme (Martin Roth Mix) (Under Martin Roth & Frank Ellrich. A remake)
The Orange Theme (Frank Ellrich Mix) (Under Martin Roth & Frank Ellrich. A remake)
The Orange Theme (Red Jerry's ProleKult Mix)
The Orange Theme (Blu Peter Mix)
The Orange Theme (Push Remix)
The Orange Theme (Lawnmower Man Mix)

The versions that tone down the original 'awful sound' or the main sequence as I call it. Are the B & DG Remix, Solarstone, Frank Ellrich, Red Jerry and Push.

But for me the best versions are Moonman and Man With no name.
Check them dude.....in my opinion, better than the original anyway.

[lkoll]

i hope they are better than the original, its such beautiful music and the comes in that sound! i can't listen to it!!!

[Viceroy]

Only heard the original, which is a classic.

[Mathew]

the original came out in 1994, which i didnt realise, but then listening to it afterwards, its apparent because of the style and sound...

best remixes have to be moonman and push!

[Radiosity]

Bervoets & De Goeji and Man with no name mixes are my top ones

There's also a rare Tony De Vit remix kicking around the place, though it's nothing special. And there's also that recent Mike Dragon mix called The Orange Song.

edit: While we're on the subject of the orange theme, I've been trying to identify a mix of it for ages now with no luck. If someone could tell me what it is I'd be most grateful

Original (6:27)
- classic of its time
Remix (on Cygnus X - Hypermetrical album) (8:29)
- doesn't really improve the original but isn't much worse either
Bervoets & De Goeij Remix (7:06/album version 7:19)
- would have been great without the highly annoying synths they used
Man With No Name Remix (9:00)
- wonderful flowing trancer, much more on the straight trancey side than most MWNN works
Solar Stone Remix (8:47)
- wonderful, moody and melancholic, one of my fav SS remixes
Martin Roth (9:05) & Frank Ellrich (9:56) remakes
- both mixes are absolutely awful
Moonman's Orange Juice Mix (6:59)
- great piece of old skool trance
Red Jerry's Prolekult Mix (8:30)
- very disapppointing mix, nothing special at all
Blu Peter Remix (6:47)
- not too good either
Mark van Dale with Enrico Remix (8:20)
- can you say "cheese"?
Push Remix (8:59)
- *sigh* how did Mike managed to do this bad mix of a track this good?
Lawnmover Man (aka Blue Alphabet) Remix (6:51)
- some people praise this mix but i don't like it at all
Transic Trancentral Remix (8:15) *officially unreleased*
- pretty nice remix, i first thought this was Mike's alternate mix but found out it wasn't

Hmm, as far as i know, Tony de Vit hasn't remixed Orange Theme but only Cygnus X's Turn Around. There has been some Orange Theme mp3s floating around titled as TdV remix but they are mislabels.

Headrush, the "unknown" mix you have there, is Solar Stone Remix, only pitched up quite a few beats.

[Radiosity]

It's pitched up to 148bpm. I know that because it's from one of my own mixes Thanks GrimReaper, that's been bugging me for ages.

[QbIx]

I didn't realise that there was that many mixes of The Orange Theme

[lkoll]

ya,
thanks mates!

[DJLifeAndDeath]

Anymore my friend? hehehe!!

[nwopper]

There's also a Frank Ellrich remix from the remake he made with Martin Roth.
I like it a lot! It has more breaks in it.

But I'll go with the original! I recently bought the album from Cygnus X and I was so happy to find the full length original version on it as well as the Moonman/Ferry Corsten rmx!
