Like the atmoshpere of this track. The track has a pretty simple structure, but it works. I could imagine it being played as a transition tune in the middle of a DJ set, going from the softer warmup to the harder stuff.
The break is nice, allthough not that original (more original that alot of other tracks though). It could have used a bit more work I'd say.

I like the way instrument 06 is used. A subtle sound, but it does much for the overall feel and flow of the track.

The synths have too much dominance in the climax (after the break). They drown alot of other sounds, expecially the hihats dissapear almost completely from the picture.
Overall more panning could be used. Everything sounds a bit narrow as it is now, allthough the use of the stereo delay helps a bit. Try for instance giving the synth string (instr 0B) a panning treatment by placing the panning in one channel at 40, and another at C0, and leaving the third in the middle.

What this tune mostly lacks IMO are the little things. Small changes in the beat structure, some low volume fx sounds played at strategic points. The little things that add up to a great atmoshpere. This tune might not fit everyones taste, because of it's relatively simple structure, but it worked nicely for me.

Sounds like a classic mix without any of the Ibiza's folies.
The drums are a lot to mechanical, repetitive to death.
5'52'' of average trance.

Really the composition may be used in game " Need for Speed "
For trance party it is not convincing and hardly will be a hit.
