superb track mate!!

lots of interesting sounds and effects, and everything sounds so well balanced.. shakers are a tad too loud in the mix, but for the rest the percussion is perfect..

awesome bassline as usual, and a great lead synth as well.. the breakdown could have been a bit more massive, i expected one of your choirs in there to make everything sound even fuller. and there's also a subtle piano(?) melody in there somewhere that does not fit at all (the melody is ok, but the sound you used for it is.. well... ugly )

overall a great track, full of energy.. not the avarage trance melody, which is a good thing as well. great job

Yes,the production quality is OK. BUT... I have to admit that all your tracks have the same sound. Why don't you tweak your instruments?And everytime you use the same way for creating your tunes.
Those chords at 0:59 are used almost in all your tracks (not the melody,but the sound!) This rapid snare (4:13 - 4:15)..I can't even remember how many times I heard it in your works. The main lead sound isn't realy different from one you used before.
So my advise will be: introduce NEW sounds. Just experement!
I know it's not easy to find new original sounds. But if we don't do it,trance music becomes boring. I made one new track with nice riffs and all,and then I realised that this kind of sound is old now...
So start experimenting from now !

Cheers,
Max

Thanks Kev & Max, glad to have your comment.

I tried to use some other sounds instead of the piano for that pattern, but didn't find any that were more suitable to me... I'll look some more.

I do use other sounds and experiment as much as I can or my inspiration gives me, but I tend to keep those tracks aside for other use than sharing. I do know myself I do use same sounds here and there (some sounds almost every time), to impress my own style a bit more. Sorry to give this impression

Cheers,
Wim

This track is quite yummy, the production quality is top notch! The elements all blend together quite nicely and the melodies all match extremely well together!!! A+ tune man, this tune is definitely a dance floor killer!

Congrats on all your successes with getting your tracks signed, I love your remix of Twisted Spirit!

Hey hey Wim,

Surprising start. Quality stands out as usual. Sounds aren't as fat as in your usual work. The superstring at full power is better tho. Typical trance sounds used. Nothing new here. Melody is quite nice. I don't think I know the original. Second break is delicious. Bringing it all just lovely.

Not your best, but glad to have another Icone (re)mix! In the Icone dir it goes!

great start..

love those phased wind sounds in the begin.

1.27 cool transition to the strings .

the plucked riff is nice, could a be little louder i think.


the melody doesn't sing for me, but thats taste and not your fault.

Rest is good though, to bad you didn't add anything on top the melody on the second climax.

Good to see that you're still producing quality stuff mate! I have to agree a bit with Fractal about your stuff sounding a bit the same though. I'd love to hear you go in a totally different direction some time. Other than that I can't really fault this. Keep up the good work

I take it Abora aren't interested in the track anymore? First I've heard of that, lol.

Quality production
nice bassline, pads, clap (wicked to the end), I liked the piano also
Gets a little boring to the end tho as your 2nd climax is identical to the first..
