Edited 3 years agoAnybody else try and recreate the beginning of renaissance vol one album mixing together the various mixes of this, then scrambling to cue in rhythm invention and then disco evangelists! -

I don't know if the track Song of Life stands out because it is so great or because most of the other house and progressive house was so unimaginative, retro and boring at the time.

There is another track out there that is very similar to this in the sense that it has a female voice doing the "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHaAAAHHH" thing but it is more trancy, I think it came out in 1991 or 92 not sure. If you know it can you lead me to it? DB's "Pure Trace" tape had it as one of the first songs on it on one of the sides, he sold it at NASA in NYC.

Edited 18 years ago'Song Of Life' is certainly one of the all time classic progressive house anthems, but can easily find favour amongst the smoother trance and techno floors.
It expertly uses many of the 'old skool' progressive house staples (i.e. dub, echoes, epic whooshes, and something approaching a banjo!) to great effect. The production is nigh on perfect. What really makes this stand out though is the excellent marriage of a cool groove with infectious understated melodies that are at once joyous and ponderous.
Watch out for the ending that like many a great record (i.e. 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' by Joy Division) finishes off with strings that hint at something altogether different and warmer than that which has preceded it.
Make no mistake, 'Song Of Life' is to progressive house what 'Pacific' by 808 State is to techno and what 'Aerience 1' is to trance.
