A 3:48 minute trip into trance. A bit faster this time though, or so it seems. The tune runs at 140 bpm, which I'd say is pretty regular for a trance tune. Yet, some parts of this tune sound like they've been speeded up, almost to the extent that they sound rushed.

The effect laid on the 303 (instr. 0A) is pretty cool, but the instrument itself is too high in volume. Everytime it plays it dominates the soundfield too much. The hihats on the other hand sound too low, they could be more present in the mix. The drums in general are very simple, more variation on them would be good in other words. Right now they have that basic bass-hihat-bass-hihat with a shaker every second line and a clap every 16th line.

In general this tune has that "I've heard it before" feeling over it very much. Granted, the way instrument 0A is used does give something special to the mix, but otherwise it's a pretty basic trance tune, the way it's structured and all.

A good try, but nothing that stands out from the rest of them IMO.

Very good tune, short enough not to be anoying. Lacks a bit of breathe at the end. The silder technick is very well mastered. Sound devilish, funny anyway.

It is too many an acid, as for trance style and too disco arrangement as for acid style. But as a whole impression from a composition pleasant, but not super.
