Iconic, timeless, pleasurable, anthem, masterclass, I'm lost for words about this track...
It was a masterstroke to have created this legendary piece.
Anecdote for the record: when this piece was first played at Cherry Moon, it emptied the dance floor because people at the time weren't mentally ready for its power and energy xD
Today, fortunately, it's quite the opposite: and it left its mark on Belgian music.

I obviously have this set: and without regret: it's a must-have!

There are so many remixes of this old anthem, but the Primer mix IMO is on another level. Everything he touches seems to turn to gold. What a producer and what a remix this is.

Nonsense prices, no way is this a) as rare as claimed or b) worth the money

Listened over an over. I like the track. Some of the remixes don't do the original justice yet STILL there is some other instrument mixing things that could have been decided before release. It could have been a lot more full, more engaging. That's why I give this track 3 stars. There are more deserving 4+ stars in bonzai deserving

Most people will go for the incredible Airwave remix on this one, but imo head straight for the Liquid Overdose remix. Superb stuff from M.I.K.E. Activa just did an update which sounded great live.

The Low Spirit pressing of this classic is a shame. Waste of vinyl and earth's recources. Never has a dancerecord had a lower volume!!

referencing The First Rebirth 1993 - 2006 (5×12") BONCL 002-12

More than 92 minutes of "The First Rebirth", ICONIC track.
The press is OK, there are remixes which are in a better sound quality, and some are not.
The remix of M.I.K.E (AKA Liquid Overdose) was a bit disappointment. It is from 2002.
On the SEALED copy I Had, there is a sticker: "5 VINYLS INSIDE"=which is a spelling mistake.
I WISH Red Jerrie's remix was included but it doesn't.
ALL the remixes are from 2006,
Except SIDE A and SIDE H, as far as I Know.

referencing The First Rebirth (Reinier Zonneveld Remix + Original Mix) (12", 45 RPM, Yellow Translucent) BV2020013

only bought this because the original is on the B side.
the remix of reinier is just as boring as the one that charlotte de witte did. they're both from benelux, the birthplace of this track. they know the raves that were happening there back in the day. how could they butcher it that much and make it so slow and boring T.T

The Life of Flow is an Ambient Masterpiece and the better Track of both, but thats just my taste. I see that the First Rebirth probably was mind blowing back then (1993, holy crap) but the Ambient sounds of The Life Of Flow totally get me these days
