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.

I agree John tried to combine a little bit of both sounds; 'epic' and psy, but the reason I prefer Part 2 (and the alternative mix) is exactly because the epic part is less distinct than in the other versions. That's my feel based on listening to the samples. Maybe I'll change opinion if I listen to the complete tracks

...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

Yeah completely agree about the original and remixes. Must be awkward for Ovnimoon to remix uplifting trance, lol. But I think my favorite after listening to them all is still part one...
