I don't like this too much. My least favorite of Otten's productions, while I must agree that his previous work is outstanding.
I like the pianos, but that guitar melody is bordering on plain cheese. |

I'm afraid I'm with the negatives.
I wouldn't say it's "total cheese" and "utter e" as said above, but I do think Mark Otten should really stop with this ing advert music. It's just boring, watered down sass, he keeps it as cute and unoffensive as possible. I'm afraid I can't pick up the emotion in something so flat and static, I like music that MOVES.
Sure, piano breaks in trance are often brilliant, but most producers will use a piano to prompt some kind of dramatic ascension. 'So Serene' is just another example of Otten's completely clean, smooth sine sounds and pads... it's fair play if you like transparent, utterly easy-on-the-ears pieces, but it's really the opposite to what "trance" is really about.
Bet it rocks the dancefloors. :rolleyes: |

I really follow you opinion on this one, Col. It's nicely said.
This tune just doesn't do it for me neither, it's idd a little bit to the cheezy side... First Mark Otten production I dislike! |

| wtf r u guys talking about? u obviosly don't understabd mark otten's music. as in mushroom therapy, its supposed to be chilled out music u can listen to at any time of the day or night. i was listening to so serene last night on the way back from a party and it totally hit the spot. i'd say its one the best so far this year.. |

yeah but he's been pushing away from the floor filler tracks. a lot of mark's tracks are meant for listening not for the floor. i think your missing the point if your throwing him into that category of basslines & huge percussion |

this song/track is the most beautiful i heard this uear for sure. its a perfect bleng of acoustic instruments and has a almost jazzy feeling in it.
10 / 10 without a doubt for me
Mark Otten is a genious |

For me, a Mark Otten prorudction usually meant not just some nice/chill melody stumbled upon by accident, but this very unique and particular sound, like in Mushroom Therapy, Tranquility, his work with Halifax. They carried this amazing vibe, where as this piece has those over used piano harmonies and that cheese guitar and has none of that Mark Otten trademark sound. |
