It's legitimately impressive, and there were so many remakes remixes and covers that being into metal doesn't really cover it. Some of the metal versions are downright haunting.
Yes it was. I got into it early because there was a dance club on the lake where we spent our summers… they would play a lot of good techno. It also helped to be friends with a German foreign exchange student when I was in high school. He introduced me to Scooter and a ton of other European dance music.
The mainstream breakthrough in the early 2010 was nice as well. Basically everyone had a David Guetta remix it felt like… movies like Pitch Perfect with “titanium” and other songs, chart toppers with Steve Aoki and others, it was a great time.
But I still listen to some of the older stuff: Eric Pritz, Tiësto, Darude, Paul Oakenfold, etc. heavy rotation in my playlist
Chicago was blessed with a Eurodance/techno radio station in the early 2000's. It was amazing. I collected the whole playlist including their own CD compilations.
I used to love it. I would listen to this one radio program every Saturday night broadcast from the Roxy in Houston around that time. Then slowly the music changed, it was still techno, but then each song had full on lyrics to everything like a full traditional song, and it just kinda took away from it all. It just became something else. It stayed that way.
In the mid '00s I lost my mp3 hoard (2+ GB at the time) to a killer malware download. Had been collecting music for almost 10 years at that point. Never collected much at all after that. Luckily, my wife used to DJ, so she brought multiple external drives full of music when we moved in together 😁
I once had a surreal experience listening to this song. I was 18 and pulled up to my house and was just sitting there, probably looking at CD cover or something. While the song was playing, about 8-9 small children came running around my vehicle, playing and chasing each other. It kinda synchronized. I used to have lots of moments like that.
Growing up in a small city in the middle of nowhere, this was one of my first exposures to electronic dance music. A club song that actually got airplay on pop radio!

dont forget about paul van dyk and dj sammy

Still on my rotation.
There's a couple that does acapella techno that does a pretty killer version of this with voice and beat box.

Robert Miles was from Switzerland, and I'm glad to hear you're over that whole being in a coma from 1995-2005 thing.
StarGraz3r84@reddit
Never heard it before either. I was in a metal coma during that time period so, this would have been "lame".
I like it though. Very chill.

StarGraz3r84@reddit
Probably just didn't put 2 and 2 together and realize it was a cover. Remember any bands that covered it?
graveybrains@reddit
Even if I did, the odds of the Kazaa file I had downloaded having the right name on it woulda been... not good. 🤷♂️

Really?!? This song was everywhere. I just heard it again a few days ago on BPM

Late 90s/early 00s techno was, and is, the ultimate guilty-pleasure fallback music.
My .mp3 collection still endures.

This was a song I’d have on my “comedown” rotation after rolling my face off in Vegas nightclubs during my college years.
xParesh@reddit
I remember buying the CD and the follow up single.
Victory33@reddit
Remember downloading this from Napster
