Sandstorm by Darude is a 1999 trance track notable within pond history as the headline set at Frogbert's rave. Its selection is widely regarded as the correct decision. This has been confirmed by Sampson.

at the rave

Frogbert selected Sandstorm as the headline track for his rave. The set featured strobing lights. Gary stood in a corner. Sampson was present on the other side of the room. The track played. Events unfolded.

sampson's endorsement

In a subsequent text message to Frogbert, Sampson described the Sandstorm set as "a good choice." This represents the strongest documented external validation of a music selection in pond history. Frogbert has not publicly commented on this, but it is believed he considered it significant.

significance

Sandstorm's role in the Frogbert-Sampson connection cannot be understated. Had a different track been chosen, Sampson might not have texted. Frogbert might not have been invited to the east pond. The entire trajectory of events may have been different. In this sense, Darude must be considered a minor character in pond history.
