Remix pack has hit the digital shelves as a BP "exclusive". Or more expensive download if you will. Bonzai Progressive (BP7502018). Remixes by Rise and Fall (of course) and "Cherry". Might not mind the former myself once it is no longer "exclusive".

Exclusive doesn't really mean a lot to me in these digital days, except that's most of the time annoying especially album exclusives.

Both remixes are very nice IMO:

I just discovered this by chance tonight. I know the B-Side, Full Moon, completely over-shadowed this track, but what an absolute stomper. Exactly the kind of trance I like:



I've noticed Airwave occasionally does tributes to other famous tunes. Atlas Winds is clearly a homage to Li Kwan - Point Zero. Indoctrinate - Feeling You is BT - Flaming June. To me, this sounds heavily inspired by Daft Punk - Alive, tranced up to excellent effect.

I really don't hear that at all

So we've debated in the past. It's pretty clear to me though. Listen to the background crackly synth lines from about four minutes in Atlas Winds and tell me they aren't reminiscent of the crackly synths running through Point Zero. Then you've got the very similar use of chanted vocals throughout the tune, very similar intro to both. And, of course, they mix together very smoothly.

Even you can't tell me this isn't clearly a Flaming June knock-off though:



(Also samples the time-stretched break from The Light's remix of Voices Of Kwahn AD, and the opening synths from Orbital - Lush 3.1!)

There's no arguments about that one!

And this one:

Seems like he has taken inspiration from other tracks, at least earlier in his career (I can't speak for recently since I haven't followed). Sasha - Arkham Asylum and Belfunk are templates for many of the early Planisphere releases, and the breakdown melody in Fire and Ice - Never Ending Melody is practically lifted from Gouryella.

Complete garbage how?

A slight change of perspective/style is what happened.

Originally posted by DaylightMoon I'm sorry but Rain Upon My Skin is complete garbage and I'm so disappointed in Airwave for heading in this direction. He was on a roll early last year, what the hell happened?

Entropy happened.it's also not his fault. He owes nothing to us. He has already given us 20 years of Trance music. I think he's one of the most under-appreciated trance artists of our time and I didn't like how a few found his music boring.I think what he has given to Trance is more than any of the tiestos could ever do. We have asked for so much from him and look where he is at the moment. Most of the so called newer generation haven't even heard of him or his music.


Maybe it's time that he goes on a different journey. All the best to him. Let him be.He deserves better than what he got with the Trance crowd which is pennies and years of pain and struggle.

Another one: Angelica has a definite Holden vs Thompson - Nothing (93 Returning mix) vibe to it
