Be-TA Anthem: Kindred Spirits - Plus Ultra (incl. Icone Remix)

while discussing the organisation of a party for all Belgian TranceAddicts this summer, the idea came up to create some sort of offical anthem for the Be-TA forum. a few hours later, Pumaz sent me a fantastic melody he had written that same night. it all went pretty fast from there..


Pumaz & Tor present:

Kindred Spirits - Plus Ultra (right-click, save as)


the track (as well as the title) tell the story of the Be-TA forum.


and for the Icone fans out there, check out Wim's massive remix!!

Thumbs up


mastering is REALLY good, the clap is too long i think thats all, like it sticks out too long, at 4:51 the synths are too loud maybe because u cant hear the kick and bass and percs too much, so id say make em louder and lower the synth a little
melody is really good i think it matches Belgian style, just one thing, why dont u get M.I.K.E. to make u the anthem?
first hes from Belgian isnt he? o but wait, he hates TranceAddict because of all of our mp3 leeching

excellent track
excellent anthem for u guys

Weellll, an anthem from our Southern neighbours

Sounds like you're gonna have a great party! The track sounds classic; it doesn't bring anything new to the world of trance and is a bit static, not much going on. But the sounds are very good and tight and that makes this a top track! I sure like the rolling bass and the nice little percussions floating on top, at the beginning. Thanks for sharing and have a nice party out there!!

hehe, Mike is pretty busy mate.

we've had several Mike-meetings already, but without Mike.. just shows you..


anyway thanx for the comments. i noticed the lead is indeed a tad loud, we'll look into that.


@ marco: the track is quite busy already, so i think more elements won't do any good.

thanx for the input anyway..


anybody else?

The melody is OMG, but the synth is terrible. The kick is weak. The contruction of the song is weird... But anyways, good song. I like the bass-sound. Try to add much more low frequenzies on the mastering, imo.


Posted by Spin Doctor on May-13-2004 01:45:

Percs way too quite/undefined - seems a bit messy up there. Pads that enter in the intro really lush. The LPF on the pad in the breakdown starts too low for my liking could do with starting ever so slightly higher. I also think they are a bit too loud in comparison with the lead too. Outro is really nice, should be minted to mix from.


Posted by EternalMusic on May-13-2004 06:25:

This is mint . I like the synths, and the melody kicks ass. Kick could be louder i think.
Cheers, very nice .

Kevin, you could of told me you posted this here
Anyway, to anybody that bothers to read this:
I am the brain behind the melody
12 years (and counting) of musical training pays off


Posted by Jay M on May-13-2004 20:24:

that's about time

Hehe
It is in fact though my first ever attempt at composing trance, for some inexplainable reason.
I've written a lot of classical music though


Posted by alexpea on May-14-2004 09:28:

hmm... the melody is good man. Makes me wanna push the ceiling. But the song in general isn't all that.. (imo)


Posted by rqpeyruxvg on May-14-2004 10:31:

great stuff here,

very trancy stuff going on here, energetic and buildups fying everywhere. the breakdown is great, i like the emotional string buildup with the lead, the notation could be faster imo.

the kick is very dubby and personally i am not a great fan of them but it works well with the bass. the lead needs sumthing to phatten it up like a touch more detune or heavier chorus or faster flange just a little bit.

the overall track has great effects and elements in it which i like a lot.

nice job.

Quality tune guys! Melody is indeed great, as is the bass. I like that second melody that is introduced later in the track too.

Seems a bit high-ended though for some reason.

blame Reason

seriously, it is pretty hard to get something right in Reason.. especially when it comes to mastering.

anyway, thanx for pointing it out!


everyone else, thanx a lot for the comments as well!


Posted by alexpea on May-14-2004 17:40:

Reason is excellent! Just master the song in soundforge when it's a .wav file. It sounds massive! Reason rules!!! Prodigy use Reason!

Push the ceiling?
Anyway, at least you like what I did (not much but whatever)


Posted by alexpea on May-15-2004 13:28:

Yeah, push the ceiling..or jump into the ceiling..you know - ceiling,not the walls and not the floor, but the thing above you Hehe! I meant that if I had been in a club and heard the melody I would probably have gone crazy!

Oh, great
I do know what a ceiling is


Posted by pooley on May-20-2004 22:22:

Already told you I liked it and I'm proud of being a BeTA thus belonging to the song

Icone's remix is also badass.Remastering it would be excellent

top job guys :-)


Posted by Zombie0729 on May-20-2004 23:00:

i dont like how you drop the volume when you change octaves on the lead... other than that, just master up the percussion a little and i think this is a great tune. Melody is orgasmic
