Ok, this one starts of with a really cool basskick. Nice deep chunk in that one :) Tune works well up until pattern 11, where those, hmmm, often used trance stabs hit the floor. So, this is your basic melodic trance track in other words. Nothing revolutionary about it, follows most formulas out there with buildup, break, climax etc. You have your basic over the top strings playing, your basic kick-hihat combo, well basic everything.

Like I said, I like the kick sample. I also like instr. 34, very cool fx. I like the melody that's played in channel 23 (instr 1), that ones really nice. Has a very summery feel over it. Sample quality in general is good, can't find anything to complain about there. The mix is pretty good, although imo the strings get too much space.

So, if you like the basic trance track, you'll probably like this one. Technically not much wrong with it, only thing that really bothers me is the standard formula used, but that's a matter of opinion.

Somewhat inconsistent mix (kick drum too loud in some passages, drowns in others). I find this track sounds probably like a million other mainstream trance tracks, but that is of course not necessarily a bad thing (although for me, personally, it is in deed a bad thing when something sounds like "everything else", I'll try to remain objective). Good quality sounds.
