i wasn't sure how to rate this
on a scale of the kind of trance i like it is 11 out of 10
on a scale of what I think these guys can do, i'm giving it 8 because, although excellent in every sense, I feel more is yet to come - i hope i'm right - so i'm saving some stars for the sequel :)
This has all the right sounds, textures, and mix for me. Unlike the last reviewer I am glad it doesnt have all the drops and builds like older trance. Because, as good fun as they are, they can be dull when every tune has the same formula - especially in this genre - so this is a fresher approach here.
And apart from that the tunes do have very well crafted breakdowns, which are done with more style than the old fashioned - dropping the bass out and back in method and are thereby much more subtle in the way they move you.
overall - very excellent hard acid trance,
