I've been having an ongoing debate about this track with JonDC, because he always plays it in his warm-up sets at the start of the night whereas I've always regarded it as quite a driving, pulsing track. The debate has resurfaced after I used it in my latest mix, and some people have highlighted it as one of their favourites, others have said it sounds weak in comparison to the tracks around it.
So, what do people think? Warm-up groover or late-night banger? Great track or weak link?
Some other bastard mixing it (only version I could find on Youtube):
Or you can click on my sig and skip to about 45 minutes to hear my take on it (WHORE WHORE WHORE). |

btw i think that works better as a late-night banger. |

It's a surprisingly good and driving track.
I think it could be used for both occasions. |

| Late night banger. I could get down to that kind of trance but I can't stand the psyprog fare that seems so popular with all the credible trance DJs at all. |

| this definitely feels like a late night banger to me. if they made a slower proggy version of it, it could've been a nice warm up track . |

| does changing the pitch/tempo transform it in anyway? |

| I'd use it as a driving "bridge" track to build up some tension right before hammering a driving and banging melodic dancefloor stormer. In the beginning of a set I prefer rather "slower" melodic and atmospheric tunes. |

It's really sad to see Miika basically gone from the prog and trance sound he was so good at. I'm not sure if he's even producing anymore. On the question, I remember J00F opened with this in one of his radio shows but I think he's one of the few exceptions that would probably go in a completely different direction with this track. I think it's intention is to be that track that really gets a nice peak hour going after a big build.
I could see Warren, Hernan and co. dropping this one a few years back. |

Great track.
Honestly I see it somewhere in the middle in terms of energy to me but I don't see it as a full on peak time track. In a certain set I could see it used as an intro too. |

I love the early '00s incarnation of psy-prog, as exemplified by the likes of Human Blue and Vibrasphere, but lately it seems to have devolved into really stodgy generic mush, and I think people are only really playing it because they're so starved of good trance they'll jump on anything vaguely credible.
I wouldn't really call this track trance, though. |
