I have the intuition both of those releases are the same (some groups made really weird things). And some Promo CD-R have lower quality, as they're intended to be aired/played/spun, but not copied, so there's no reason to left it at highest quality. It's only my personal guess, though.
What i tried to mean is that there's not an official release. Not a VA rls, not a promo,... i wanted to mean an official vinyl/CDM with Original and some remixes. I'd wish a release with the Rework version.
I'll check some 320Kbps rips to see if they have better quality than the TDMLiVE rip, which is clearly lower than the 2020 vocal version (which is a Web Release).
Unfortunately, you're not right. This VA from TDMLiVE is official scene rls. You write about Vinyl / CDM with OM and RMXs, but something like that was never released, cause this track was anthem of the biggest Polish club music festival - Sunrise in 2006. In addition, there were never any official remixes of this track for the same reason. That's why it was released on Split CDS together with the second anthem (F.L.A.M.E. feat. Olga - Sensation) as a festival promotional CD and was ripped by TDMLiVE (

However, when it comes to this TrvN rls, it's exactly from this buddy who has known N2O for so many years. This is, of course, nonscene, but the quality of the rip is much better even than the WEB-bought ones - over 21 kHz spectrum (where in 320kbps WEB tracks is cut on 20kHz).
Sorry if i re-answer. Maybe i shouldn't use the word "official", but proper release/individual release/discographic release.
The TDMLive rip is from an official disc for sure, but it's a promo, not a proper "retail" (i don't know how to tell) release, maybe recorded on CD-R, maybe from a mp3 file sent by NO2, or Anjuna,... But i really noted that this rip sound worse than the modern vocal version in its instrumental zones. I tend to set the culpability on the mp3->CD-R process.
Talking about Spek... TDMLive rip peaks at 18.5 kHz, but it might be caused by some VBR switch as
-preset standard, which was used extensively through the scene. And technically talking, that should not be a problem. Absolute Threshold of Hearing (ATH) for humans is located around 20 kHz, but frecuencies above 16 kHz are really hard to sense in pure silence, and they are so soft that you couldn't hear them while other frecuencies are vibrating, and sounding loud. I used Spek, but frecuency cutoff is not a definitive criterion for me. TDMLive rip sound worse for me, but i'm comparing it with a modern mastering/rip/encoding/MP3-320. I'll post if some rip really touches me.
Finally, i think there are some "xxx festival anthem" released on proper/individual/retail vinyls/CDMs, but again, i might be wrong. And this is not a relevant fact. The only relevant fact is that NO2 could have released an Instrumental version in his "A world without us", and this conversation would never be needed at all xD
PS: I hope you have DL/heard the Rework, it's also a nice emotional uplifting track. EnigmaTC made a set rip, the file whose name ends on "
-enTC".
PS2: I'll try to contact you on a saner (daylight) time through SLSK to taste TrvN rip
I hope it's not much abuse, you are always helping, and i'm always asking (sorry gain).
Kind regards for all!
