Airbase - EP

New EP by Airbase out now on Intuition
cat nr: INTU908

01. One Tear Away
02. Rest In Peace
03. Medusa


Great EP by Airbase me thinks, I really like Rest In Peace

nowhere even near Escape to be honest. Weakest intuition release to date. One tear away is ok but tending to cheeze, the other two tunes do notihng for me...

Medusa is quite ok; but sounds a lot like a rework of Genie.
The other 2 are pretty cheesy. A weak release indeed.

samples? I checked Intuitions site and Airbases but no dice.

EDIT: I found em...

OK release, like others have stated. Nothing amazing.

One Tear Away excited me quite much, cool track, but didn't like the others,,

i think airbase is technically one of the best trance producers about & all three of these are really solidly put together.. but musically they didn't do much for me. rest in peace especially had loads of potential but just feels a bit too 'happy' & the main lead sounded like something out of a cheesy anime romance or something.. i'd have much prefered it to be more minimal & subtle. one tear away was ok, but slightly borderline cheese again.. might end up growing on me but might do the opposite, can't tell yet. medusa was forgettable..


jezper if you're reading this, i love your sound but think you should try making slightly darker tracks (not techy i mean, cos i know you already do that with the parc stuff) with less in-your-face melodies & more emphasis on atmosphere.. but keeping the energy & pace of your regular stuff. just my opinion

Nothing special in my opinion, most I like from this EP is "Rest in Peace", however "One Tear Away" is also nice I don't like "Medusa" at all, definitly the worst one for me from this EP When I'm listen to those tunes, I always think that Airbase did them not beacuse he want, but because he must and in my opinion all tune made with this feeling always will be week for me

One Tear Away is amazing. Surely the best of the EP. I also love Rest In Peace,it's something different from all those trance tunes out there. It reminds me of some games remixes which can be found in the net ( http://www.vgmix.com and http://remix.overclocked.org ),only this tune is better produced than the majority of those games remixes. Medusa has that old uplifting sound/feeling to it and it's amazing how most people wished someone to get back to basics and when someone does it they call his tune cheese etc. Not surprising really in this forum . Overall it's an amazing EP from Airbase and the major thing is that these tunes doesn't sound the same (as we know that a lot of producers have the same sound in almost every track of them). One Tear Away is an epic trance tune,Medusa is an old school tune and Rest In Peace is a bit experimental. Variety and quality in this EP Keep up the great work Jezper

How, exactly?

Im surprised with this 3 tracker as clearly his strongest tune in years "Roots" is left on the sidelines. Medusa is okay but like someone said sounds like a rehashing of his older tunes like Emotion and Genie. The remix of Jamaster A and "Roots" are a lot better than anything shown here

old school from his point of view is around 2003-2004. I'm not kidding. I had a discussion with a producer which had several of his tunes played on ASOT. He still called the early 2000 trance old skool. :S

You are far to old to be on here then...

I'm sorry to hear you didn't like it as much as you hoped for.
And about this statement that I made the tracks because I had to, that's just incorrect. No one has ever told me what and what not to do. I just like to try different things out. These three tracks differs from each other, and that was not what I had in mind when I made the tracks, as I did not know what would eventually end up on the release. Some days you feel like doing a bit of 99-trance, the other day some techy stuff, some day something a bit more chill. And some days you play around with weird sounds and you just accept what you end up with

I didn't write that You must do those EP, but it sounds like You must to do and maybe this EP isn't my fav, however for example Jamaster A - Bells Of Tiananmen (Airbase Remix) it's great for me
I hope I will enjoy more Your productions in the future
Greetings !

It has the same feeling (not sound) of System F - Out Of The Blue, Iio - Smooth (Airbase Remix),Blank & Jones - Cream,Cosmicman - Krystal Dreams,Airbase - Theme From The Rock. But i'm sure that if those tunes were released today (not re-releases) you'd consider them cheesy and in your books these aren't old school classic tunes,even though most of the people (even in this forum) respect Jezper for his remix of Smooth and his promo version of Theme From The Rock

Is 'Sinister' out? I liked that. Monstrously Epic. How does this EP compare?

Also I don't know if this is old but I have an Airbase remix of an Imogen Heap song, and it's pretty awsome, anyone heard it? Imogen Heap - The Moment I Said It (Airbase pres. Scarab Remix). I'd totally spin that if I had it in 320k, I think it was a free give away.

EDIT: oops sinister was out months ago

Really like how especially Rest In Peace sounds quite different from the usual stuff that is released nowadays! Though Escape is hard to top, One Tear Away again has that special emotional touch that I love! Good job again! Will be listening to these for quite some time i bet!

Medusa is an old school tune/ in fact a fuckin smashin one..

it is..

Jezper - Is Garden State getting a release any time soon? That one is beautiful!

One Tear Away is a nice emotional trance track. Like it very much; whole breakdown is cool. Luv most of the Airbase stuff for the emotional melodies like Escape, Rise or Rock. Sinister was someway no good in my eyes, but this one here is a very good release.

I realy love this EP...i would even say it's the best trance EP since 12 months. Every track is great on its own way and i can't undestand
some of you guys here.

Jezper proofed once again that he is one of the best trance producers ever, when it comes to write a beautiful melody!

My favourite is "Medusa", but i also love "Rest In Peace"...and "One Tear Away" is also great! Keep continue Jezper!

One Tear Away and Medusa are both 9/10 tracks for me. Rest in Peace was alright, just not as good as the other two 6/10...but great EP overall!
