I was going through some mix folders the other day, and rediscovered an absolute gem of a set from Orfeus that might be of interest to Horsers new and old. Recorded at Senzation Hard in 2005, the tracklist shows off the Finnish sound at one of its highest points, with Carbon Based, Rx and Alek Szahala confidently thrashing out anthem after anthem, colliding with still-played classics like Lemonade Raygun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The whole set has me longing for the good old days, and any Finnish freeform fan will enjoy a set that includes the likes of\u00a0Caballo 2004<\/em>,\u00a0Ultimate Protection, <\/em>Tuonela, <\/em>and a fantastic early version of Unconsciousness<\/em>. Listen out too for the original version of Grimsoul’s\u00a0Bleed.\u00a0<\/em>Titled\u00a0Painajainen\u00a0<\/em>back then, the track lacked the polish of the Hybridize release but really outdoes it with a higher bpm and a better focus on the melancholy. A brilliant tune that I’ve always loved.<\/p>\n

A big draw for me though is one of my very favourite Rx tracks – Uprising<\/em>. Even if it’s a bit rough around the edges by his later standards, it has always reminded me of a ThermalForce track with its filtered madness over a simple (but very effective) melody. It’s tragic that it has since disappeared – I’ve literally spent years watching out for it, but with no luck (even Rx lost the files a long while ago). I live in hope that it’s lurking on a hard drive somewhere and we’ll once again hear it in sets.<\/p>\n

An essential set for the FINRG historian, then, especially as Orfeus tends to let most of the tunes play out to their full length. Despite that, there’s no lack of energy, and a real sense that he’s having a brilliant time tearing through these future classics.<\/p>\n

I’ve pilfered a tracklist from Orfeus’ original klubitus post<\/a>, but as the mix itself isn’t present I’ve mediafired it for the time being<\/a> – if there are any problems with the link, let me know and I’ll arrange something better.<\/p>\n
