Label: Beyond Digital
Format: 12" Vinyl
Genre: Trance
The original hits right from the off with aggressive kicks and percussion, a solid bass that lays a smack down after just 16 bars and with the first mini break coming after just another 16 bars, this one really hangs around for no one!
There’s a gorgeous Piano here that’s slightly underused at first but soon comes to the fore, fantastic use of voicey pads and some rather unforeseen but well used kick and snare rolls in there too. The breakdown has epic written all over it, but before you know it a dirty, distorted lead takes over and carries the tune out of the lush pads an into more dirty tech trance territory. A tale of two halves this may be, but both are just as good as the other.
If you thought the Steve Allen original sounded good though, you really should check out the Indecent Noise remix. It starts even more aggressively with some seriously rasping open hi hats and a suitably large kick along with some cool Glitch FX use, even if this is done a bit too much and is not very subtle. Side chained pads join the mix to, combining with snares well to take things down into the breakdown, which is without the pianos of the original but compensates by having even better high energy pads. As these fade away the main synth grows from silence, shortly joined by the kick as it build to one massive crescendo before it drops in with tremendous force. Certainly one of the best trace tracks I have heard in a long time, and on the Beyond label too!
