The most frustrating track ever...

Simon Patterson - Thump

Why oh why does this not continue as the breakdown wills it too!!

It's brilliant, massive, extremely euphoric, builds so much and promises so much and then gets put into your average dancefloor beat with no melody.

I cant praise him enough for the work on the breakdown, but why these synths dont continue once the kick returns is beyond me!

Pretty much all of Patterson's songs are like this. That's why I don't really buy into him that much.

The anti-climatic build seems to be infecting a LOT of productions these days. Sander van Doorn's album was filled with such nonsense.

I absolutely HATE these kind of tracks. Whenever I hear one it makes me want to throw my computer out a window.

It's kinda like running through an endurance test with the promise of cake at the end... only they try and kill you instead.

Or....that there's no cake?

I'd like to hear a song with your decription though.

Trying to kill me is more exciting ;)

Thump is just so bad. Bulldozer is like that but eventually there is something that adds to it...kinda. At least the bassline saves it. Smack is pure win though. I think he really needs to find a new formula if he wants people to stay interested though.

So many of the tougher trance tracks follow this formula these days and its .

I think, initially, some producers tried it as a change from years of the usual trance formula with the melody kicking back in full ball after the big build up of the breakdown. The first time I heard a track not do this (forget which tune it was, possible an SVD tune), it took me by surprise and felt like a refreshing change. Its quickly become very tiresome though and so predictable now. And its such an anti-climax to a good build up, its just plain irritating.

agreed. I hate it when tracks have great elements but they go under-used. it seems to be todays trend of 'less is more' which is spreading across all genres. wasted potential imo

Ah, poetic injustice, alack the day!

I felt the same way with Pryda - Evouh, recently. It has an amazing peak but it's so quick and it begs for another buildup.
