[Breaks] Al Azar - Shattered Dreams (2007 Update) [Full 320]

Sooo...
Lately Mart has been keeping himself occupied by going through our old files and updating the sounds/mastering to our current level (whatever the hell that might be). Anyway, I thought it would be swell to give these out to you guys too even though he was doing it for his own enjoyment (I know, people enjoy the strangest things :p).

I just want to stress that this is not a 2007 remix/remake/rehash/cash grab, it's more or less exactly the same as the original from 2003 with much improved sound quality and some minor tweaks here & there.

Either way, here you go:

Al Azar - Shattered Dreams (2007 Update) (7:49, 320kbps, 17.9MB)

Enjoy. And keep your eyes & ears open for more...

Gorgeous track, but you could have filled up the stereo field a bit more with the synths. Because most of them are centered in the mix, they get lost behind the percs. Kick/bassline combination is solid, but overall this does not seem to be your best work technically.

No complaints here. To me this sounds as sweet as ever or even better!

Never heard the old version..or maybe i did but can't remember.

But this feels so good, simple but very dreamy, the main theme makes me stare and just think about nothing..

Really like it.

I didn't remember hearing the '03 version, but this one is quite good.

I really like the Vocals in this one although the flanger that is used at the same time (about 2:50) sounds a bit odd
The beginning isn't the best for mixing, but nevertheless i really like this track, it has this chilled feeling in it

Whether a track is mixable or not is not really something I think when doing a track. It's not exactly club music anyway.

I guess so ;)

I just realized it yesterday, when I wanted to play it in a set, that the break at the beginning comes after a quite short time and is rather long

I also don't remember the 2003 version, so my comments are coming from a fresh perspective.

When the track first started out I felt that I was going to be disappointed. Sounded like it was going to be a quite "happy", almost bouncy track. Obviously that perspective changed throughout the track and it really grew on me as the song played through. I really liked the percs, and the ending was fantastic. The vocal part was cool, as well as the "8-bit-ish" sounding synths.

Not my favorite from you two, but a definite keeper.

Very interesting. I agree about the stereo field. I am guilty of this too, that I seem to center things a little much.

The vocal was good. It was probably the most uplifting part of the song in the post-effect of this vocal. Then the piano was a good finish to the theme -- a theme that became more like a grand ambience that the drums paddled upon. The piano finishing up the tune was definately a good idea.

Good ideas here.

That high hat part is good.
