hi, all. i was hoping someone would be able to answer a question.

armin played this track in episodes 318 and 320. it was with TURGID excitement that i awaited its release, because it blew my mind.
when it finally came out, i listened to an audioclip and found out that it sounded different.
in fact, the officially released version of jerome isma-ae's "fortune cookie" remix is different than the one played in asot.

did armin alter it for his show? or was that really the original before jerome tinkered with it before the release?

i'm curious, because i think the asot version is a lot more interesting with the chord progressions it has near the end.

I don't have the episodes on hand, but just go to beatport and listen to samples of the original and Jerome Isma-Ae remix and then u can just figure it out yourself.

i don't think you understand what i'm asking. maybe someone else does.

listen to asot 318 (six minutes in is where the track begins), and then listen to the sample of isma-ae's remix on audiojelly/beatport/etc. they're different (but both are the isma-ae remix).
