Rusch&Murray* – Epic

I think that adding to Original Mix "phase" effect on HF part of the track is why it was rarely played. I cant listen to it because of that. More of a defect than an effect for me.

Written and produced by two artists that never actually met in person (they collaborated through the use of the internet), 'Epic' has been brought to life by an excellent reworking by Above & Beyond, which breathes new life into the Original Mix and brings with it a slight increase in tempo. The flip side is by far the stonger mix, but the Original Mix is well worth a thorough listen nonetheless.

If you are looking for a trance track that will take you on a journey from start to finish, the original version of Epic is your track.
The Above & Beyond remix is more uplifting and they do a verry good job remixing this but it doesn't have the same dark atmosphere as the original track.
Check out the unreleased remixes from Lost Cities, Hidden Sun and the Rusch & Beman remix also if you can find them, really awesome stuff.

Epic is neither the first project of Christian Rusch & Greg Murray nor the last, but it's most certailny their best! The original mix is the part that makes this track live up to it's name, but the Above & Beyond Remix is in fact slightly better. Such a simple melody and yet so brilliant and breathtaking! Definately one of my favourite trance tunes of 2003.
