So we thought we do some trance for a change, and hope to release this (plus NEMS excellent original). Listen out for NEMS handz - up lazers half way into break - I just love em and still don't know how he did it.
And those haunting choirs NEM - where the heck did they come out of!

Well figured I would have to post the original too, just looks like I have to write and outro to mine.

Updated version, less limiting and a bit more mixdown work.

Guys great tracks, The one posted by Butler is the better mix of the 2, (too much limiting on yours NEM) great break, great anthem. LOVING IT!!

yeah, I'v heard Butler's version last night and Nem's one today, i like both, Richard got the better mix indeed but Nemesis has better grove and atmosphere IMHO (notice the humble :P).
Though in both version there is more work to be done on the vocals specially in the break.
I can imaging both being part of a big release good work guys

Quite beautiful in all the right and darkish ways. Brilliant work, gents. Really liking both versions. Love the individual touches from each of you. Can't prefer one aspect of one song over the other. Just both very solid pieces of work. Looking forward to the finished product.

my old stuff, not quite up to snuff - but I still dig it - UPDATED 9/23/2012

i really like this, nice chords, i'm into richards mix more as its a lot more grittier, wereas nemesis mix is alot more spacial imo, both nice mixes though

It has an aged quality to it that's very nice. Some splendid sounds and evolution going on. I'm digging the change brothers.

Cheers Ows and everyone else, I've just updated my own version - the drop in particular to give it more impact.

A couple of slightly harsh moments in the high end in that synth when it resonates towards the end, and the vocal sample at the end seems a little harsh for a second though. Clean nice sounds tho !

digging that bassline, has a techno feel.

Thx, took on board some comments and just made the changes. Trying to get mix better now.

I on the other hand refuse to believe anything that anyone has said because you are all wrong! j/k

Thanks for the input guys; I will be posting a more up-to-date version later today. It’s always refreshing to get a second opinion.
I have reduced the limiting, realised that I over cooked that, might also have over compressed some of the stand alone channels so have eased up on that too.
Still stuck on what to do with the vocal so will be making that drop back in the mix a bit as I think I will use it more as an effect rather than a main focus.

Mr. Butler, very impressed with what you have come up with so far, out of the two this would be the version I would choose to play out.

Cheers
Nem
