Its on Audiojelly, Beatport, and iTunes. Just grabbed it myself.
Its great 
. My personal favorites are Part 1 and 2, Weekend Heroes nail their very progy remix in the face!!! Ovnimoon also did a solid remix if you want a more psy sound, Beatseekers is pretty catchy as well!
Ovnimoon and Steve Birch mixes are good, the rest is nothing special imo
Not the best release from John but based on the samples my favourites are Part 2 and John's Alternative Mix. Other mixes are also ok; Part 1 is the version I like the least.
I wasn't expecting something like this from J00F. Part 1 and the Alternative mix are OK but the rest are pretty meh. I can't explain Part 2 very well but I feel it is trying to hard to combine being epic with psy and it's come out shit. Anyway, Beatseekers' mix is pretty decent for a light cheesy sound.
seems a bit more medicore a few listens through. Seems like he is experimenting with new sounds like Tof said but didn't quite nail it.
Still its a pretty good release considering how bad most trance released today sucks, and it shows he is trying to innovate.

...interesting. It sounds like he was inspired by Wizzy Noise's O Fortuna remake. I have to agree that it's nice to hear someone innovating, but it doesn't quite seem to have come off.
I think part 1 is brilliant, and the rest are slight misses.
It was made as a piece of uplifting trance, and that's what the main melody is all over; in fact, so is everything else about the track. The other ones try to have a different take on it - combining it with dark/banging hard beats etc and I just don't think they suit the track (in the same way that Ovnimoon or Steve Birch would be daft to make a remix of an above and beyond track).
I think there are a lot of negative connotations associated with 'uplifting trance', and rightly so. That doesn't mean though, that it can't still be good when done well. This is a perfect example of when an uplifting track is beautifully produced, suitably complicated to ensure it doesn't get boring quickly, and instantly memorable. If mainstream trance always sounded more like this, it would be a really good thing and the scene would still be alive and kicking!
It's not something you expect to hear from Fleming, but that's not necessarily a bad thing all the time.
co-produced by Airwave btw

I like Steve Birch remix and John 00 Fleming Alternative Mix most, Beetseekers Remix is also nice.
These tracks are as loud as it gets.
Really bad. I haven't liked anything by J00F in ages, but this is the worst thing he's done in quite a while. Horrible cheesy melody. J00F's alternative mix had potential. If only the terrible melody would have been removed from it and replaced with something proper, it could have been good.
