L'Esperanza (Hope) is undoubtedly one of Sven Väth's greatest hits. After more than 30 years, Cocoon Recordings are very proud to revive this timeless masterpiece for you. The artwork is from the original 12" cover, which was released on Eye Q Records back then. Anyone who knows Sven recognizes that he has always felt free and evolved in terms of appearance and style. That's why Cocoon instantly loved the idea of Sven re-staging himself in the same pose but in a new guise. This picture disc documents a 30-year-long transformation, both sonically and visually. It is a beautiful journey through time and a true collector's item. Produced in 1993, "L'Esperanza" has certainly not lost any of its charm over the years. Lovely string sounds envelop you in a cloud of comfort, while the filtered downbeat emphasizes this feeling of lightness. The catchy tune of the playful synthesizer melody invites you to close your eyes and start dreaming. Let yourself fall into a deep state of meditation and trance. The airy electric bassline comes with a charismatic power and opens a door to the subconscious, calling on you to dive deep. The atmosphere of this composition sits somewhere between drifting through the sea and hovering through space. "L'Esperanza (Hardspace Mix)," a revised version of the "Hope Will Move Mountains" Mix by Visions Of Shiva, occurs on the B-Side in the form of Len Faki's hardspace mix. Len is renowned for his elegant edits and refined modifications as part of his side project, this time delivering a strippeddown 135 BPM version that fits perfectly into the current zeitgeist. A club version of "L'Esperanza" that radiates a high level of euphoric energy, constantly pushing the rhythm patterns forward. All hands go up in the air at the latest when the piano part starts in the middle section.
