[Old School Inspired]Lokhèn - Someday
Something I did for fun.. Tried to do a 99 styled trancer, complete with offbeat bassline and snarerolls.. 
Don't know if I succeded 100%, but I'm pretty satisfied anyway.. Hope you like it, and merry christmas..

Haha... I love late 90s trance. Some of the best chillout stuff and stadium cheese invented was back then. I have the pleasure of being the first to review this track... here it goes (ah-ah-hem)
Right off the bat I want to comment on how juicy that kick is. It's got that 90s sound to it with a 909 presence with a little juice in the mid frequencies as well.
The bassline is standard off-beat but that doesn't bother me much at all. In fact, it sounds just like the 90s. The supersaws that start buzzing in are fitting as well. Ah the memories that accompany such chills of highhats over saw goodness...
funky little acid bleeps you have going there.
The breakdown with silence is rather cheesy at first. Part of that is the silence itself. In fact, the supersaw sounds will come across to many as cheesy as hell. Some will like it, and others will hate it. Myself, I like it -- not my favorite, but it's harmonically rich.
The climax was okay. The melody isn't a favorite of mine, but it's at least different from the rest of the pack in having a little different of a chording structure. The outro was, well, it worked, I guess...
Not bad... not bad. The last time I remember hearing something from you, it was your "Untitled" track that I still get a real kick out of -- I still have "Untitled" on my mp3 player! Someday somehow left a bit of a bland aftertaste, but I can tell that you captured an oldschool epic feel.
Personally, the oldschool trance that I like is the dark-rave flavor of trance. That was super, especially some of the darker tracks by the likes of Trance[]Control, or even hardtrance stuff from Hermes&Cold, or Space Frog (Though that was more hard trance). Therefore this track was a wee bit of a dissapointment because I tack "OLdschool" trance with that dark-rave sound. You know, that dark-rave stuff that was borderline acid-trance and still melodic at times, but really hard-smacking beats.
Merry CHRISTmas indeed!
Thanks for the very good review..
I was thinking that a lot might sound a bit cheezy, but I like it this way hehe.. 
And thanks for liking my other track ! haha.. I think it is my "Northern Winds" track, which is due to release on Six Thirty early next year..

Yep... that's the one. Really powerful trance. One of my favorites on my playlist, really.
Thank you Will be released early 07 with two nice remixes
One question out of curiosity (unless it's personal)... WHat equipment are you using?
Cubase, mostly with z3ta and fm7, with vanguard and v-statio occasionally.. No big secrets there..
