Life Goes On is the second studio album by the German DJ and production project Sash!, released on 17 August 1998. Building on the international visibility gained with their debut, the record continued the group's blend of energetic dancefloor beats, melodic trance lines and pop-oriented choruses aimed at both clubs and radio.
Musical style and composition
The album mixes trance and Eurodance elements typical of the late 1990s: driving four-on-the-floor rhythms, synth arpeggios, sampled breaks and prominent vocal hooks. Arrangements alternate instrumental club tracks with songs featuring guest singers, producing a balance between DJ-friendly cuts and accessible single-length pieces.
Singles and reception
Life Goes On produced several singles that received substantial European club and chart exposure. Notable releases include "La Primavera" and "Mysterious Times," the latter featuring vocalist Tina Cousins. Critics generally praised the album for its production quality and suitability for nightlife playlists, while noting its clear commercial orientation.
Production and release
Recorded and assembled during the period after Sash!'s breakthrough, the album reflects late-1990s production techniques in electronic dance music. It was promoted through single releases, remix packages and club play across Europe, helping to consolidate Sash!'s presence on the continental dance scene.
Legacy and notable facts
Life Goes On reinforced Sash!'s style of pairing trance-influenced tracks with guest vocalists and became part of the late-90s dance-pop soundtrack in several countries. For more about the group and subsequent releases, see the Sash! official page.
