Infusion vs. Kate Bush - Running up that hill
Starting with a set of simple instrumentation the track quickly builds in layers. From the getgo you can hear the a haunting sample that sounds frighteningly similar to vocals. At about the 2 minute mark the tempo changes markedly and the beat gets a lot fatter, the sample in the background gets a bit more clear and seemingly louder. At about the 3 minute mark it feels like the song is "closing in" and surrounding you. Temporarily, the fat beat disappears and then shortly thereafter reappears with an even greater effect. It shifts around a bit, adding to a sense of urgency in the track. Quite literally by the 5 minute mark the song is a sonic jungle, and it is impossible to process all the information at once. At the 5 minute mark or so, the sample in the background just dissapears, leaving you (or at least me), wondering. At about 5'30" the vocal sample comes out in full force, now recognizable
"come on baby, come on darling... let me steal this moment from you now..."
The sample continues throughout the track until the 7'30" mark where it fades out in a reverberating fashion. From this point on the track is deconstructing what it built up.
In my opinion, this is a prime example of good trance, although it doesn't exactly fit the "buildup/breakdown" formula that is most definately a good thing. The rythymic and atmospheric shifts in the song build it up so much that by the time you get to the vocal sample your literally blasted by the haunting and somewhat enigmatic "message." In my opinion, it is nothing like the original "kate bush - running up that hill" which isn't very interesting at all. Infusion really did a number with this track.
note: OMG!!! I DIE, is not a "review" and by review, I really mean how you feel about the track and a little journey in your words through it

Great Idea
Give me a bit to think about how I'd describe the song. . . .
P.S. Can there be more than one tune, or are you specifically looking for one, cuz I have 2 songs in mind. . .

Aces Delight - Mental Theme (Ultra Trance Mix)
Starts with a beat layered with awesome elements which leads to a teaser breakdown which shows the half the beauty of the melody, kicking into a uplifting vibe making room for the "Adagio for Strings" like melody. Breaks down beautifully with sparkles and piano orgainized well to bring you a "mental theme", after a 3 minutes breakdown, cuts the melody and the riff begins the Mental journey of Aces Delight...
err i'm not so good at reviews eheh

BK & Dave Randall- Tiptronic
Tiptronic is one of those tracks where everything blends *perfectly* in the song. BK & Randall take last year's cracking hard trancer "Ascension" and repeat the formula, only this time the tribal vocals and tough basslines are replaced with a more etheral and trancy female vocal hook and some swirly synth spheres, while keeping the drum patterns and bassline that power every BK track. The breakdown builds into something, and then when you think its going to drop and just be another average track, the most energetic synth riff you'll hear this year storms into your conscious just in time for the track to blow the roof off. After the track peaks it comes back down towards Earth with the layers that have been added over the track gradually falling away to a smooth ending.

| Originally posted by SuperFarStucker I realize it's not "by the numbers trance" but its' tension-release format is far more "trancier" than most "trance" tracks today IMO. Isn't that the purpose, or the mechanism of the buildup's and breakdowns in trance?? In that regard I mean it is trancy... Obviously a bit too slow and in the wrong "format" to be an actual trance-by-the-numbers track. Couldn't have told you it was progressive house though... |

Dirty Bass - Emotional Soundscape
London Underground Producer known as Dirty Bass releases this amazing gem on the Dirty Blue Records (correct?). The track is a 6 and half minute MONSTER that just keeps building with a nice vocal. The vocal does not hurt the track, it adds to it, just like it should be. Good old backing beats and it did not get hammered to death by the lame ass A list dj massive (only Sasha and Marco V played it out). Track did not contain a remix because it did not need one, the artist instead let the track do the talking instead of hyping himself like too many people nowdays. A proper tune and was not played on commercial radio or hammered to death, so it was a great underground (that fact will be debated but only 2 real deejays of note hammered it, so it did not get boring) tune. So it is my tune of 2003

I dont write reviews, but the best track this year, and my all time favorite now (for me) is
Momu - The Dive (Original Mix)
So beautiful. I can listen to it over and over again and never get bored. From the first time i heard it, since january, i said it was the track of the year. Nothing has come close to impressing me as much as this track.
