Third Pleasure [Extended Mix] by Dave Joy

Dave Joy is a Swiss hardtrance artist who's output isn't very big, but who really milked the few songs that he made.  There's a kind of numerical vibe to his titles: "First Impression", "Second Chase", "Third Pleasure" and "Fourth Joyride (Buckle Up)".  Then, he's got a few collaborations under his belt too, and some remixes.

This isn't really a remix so much as it is Dave Joy's mix.  It's also not super hard for a hard trance song; it tends to shade a bit more into progressive territory.  Or maybe I just think that because it's not very dark, although dark and hard are not necessarily positively correlated.

This 10th Anniversary Edition comes with six versions.  There are no less than about 15 or so for "First Impression"—but it was a real, genuine hit (especially the S.H.O.K.K. remix) and is considered a real classic of the peak hardtrance era.
