easily forgettable track. i feel SvD did much better doing what he was doing before, even if it eventually became formulaic.

It works better when it's in the middle of a bangin' set, such as his Identity Mix November 2006.

Weakest tune I've heard from him IMO.

I'm not a big SVD fan - I'm not a fan at all actually, but I gave this one a shot, just as I have all his other productions, and was perhaps more disappointed than I've ever been by any of his tunes.

It sounded like it had some potential, the build between 2 and 3 minutes was nice, but when it just drops out like it does around 3:00 there's just a feeling of no real payoff what-so-ever. Basically for all the good elements of the track, the sequencing and complete lack of direction left me irritated that I'd wasted the 6 or so minutes it took to get through the 3 builds that went no where.

The "James Holden Wannabe" comment seems apt.

Heh, as much as I may not like his recent stuff, Punk'd made me a fan for life :D

This is a good start if this is the direction he wants to take, but when you compare it to people who have created this kind of music for a long time, it's not even in the same league. Its an okay tune, I don't think it sucks. But it is definitely a tune I would quickly pass knowing there is much more better while browsing for music.

yeah but this is the only way that armin is gonna play stuff like this on asot. when one of the bigger producers starts to try something new.

Armin shouldn't be playing "stuff like this" on ASOT. Period.
