But, there's some other thins that makes that it doesn't reach quite to the top imo!
Perc and bass.
- Perc doesn't have any spark in them, they just go on and on... I'm VERY picky with percussion! For me to give this song a top grade, I would like to have complete new perc.
- Bass, sounds cheap and thin. Doesn't like it at all. Imo it needs a "fuller" sound, like in the AvB remix of ATRC (example).
But the melodies/synths are Great!
As always, my personal opinion...

Thanks for all the comments everybody, appreciate the praise and the criticism. A lot of comments about the bass, I had a heavier bassline in there but it was slowing down the flow of the track. I wanted the melody to just glide and float, and with the already heavily compressed kick it was just too much, so the bassline is there more for the sound than the feeling.
Im pushing for this and starlight requiem to be on the same vinyl, dunno how big of a chance I have of that happening, but Im going to try. Should be sending out promos Saturday.

John: Nice, is it a streamed show that I could listen in to or is it at a club?
And yeah, Requiem has some harshness that I'm trying to work out of it, its very very hard to master these humongous saw pads. Thats kind of why I chose to work with softer sawpads in the background for Sapphire.

Been listening to ur stuff a lot mate and really like it all. This one is by far the best out of the lot. I think your productions suit the more laid back sounds of Azure and Sapphire than the more energetic Starlight Requiem, tho they all sound equally well produced. Keep it up mate, you will go far.
For me to give this song a top grade, I would like to have complete new perc.
