But in regards to M, I usually rotate between the Woody van Eyden & MORPH Remix and the Tectonic Shift vs. Andre Visior Remix.

And if I had to pick one Ayu trance song that's just so absolutely delicious, it would be appears (Kyau Vs. Albert Remix). It's has this unbelievably silky smooth beat and warm liquid aura encapsulating the entire piece. I also truly adore the way they played with her vocals in this track. The method they use for the adding and subtracting of layers is sublime, especially when many of the elements are slowly removed to make room for Ayu's vocals to shine at the end of the course lines. They really cultivated an atmosphere here. It's the best Ayu trance song to play when chilling and listening with friends.

Although Depend On You (Svenson & Gielen) is my favorite remix, with Naturally (Wippenburg) coming in at a close second, I value appears (Kyau vs. Albert Remix) for different reasons, and so it's almost in a category of its own for me. Truly magnificent, and PERFECT for nighttime.
I LOVE this Appears remix. It is undoubtedly my favorite. I even just found my comment on the youtube video with this song where I wrote "My most favorite remix ever" or something like that.

I get pretty excited when listening to remixes of Connected. <3 Especially the "ambient mix" which was on the Connected single. that remix just gets me....Audience (Darren Tate remix) is another favorite. I feel like it turns a somewhat forgettable and boring song into something awesome, and it seriously does put me into a trance.
