    Second Nature - Longing For The Infinite EP

    Hey @Hensmon, Glad you're still enjoying them! Hope you're doing well. I haven't had the inspiration to make music lately, so I've just been taking a break. I do have plans to produce more in the future, so when that time comes, I'll be sure to share more tracks with you all!

    Orbital - Halcyon On and On [1993]

    That's awesome, I never knew that it was the vocalist for "It's A Fine Day." I love that song, too.

    Orbital - Halcyon On and On [1993]

    Love this classic track. It was in Mortal Kombat (1995), too!

    Second Nature - Longing For The Infinite EP

    My older brother and I would listen to this kind of music when we were kids, and I always loved the style. He referred to it as "Frankfurt Beat," and researching it now, I saw that it's a Hard Trance label from the 90's that have a lot of the same sounds and style. I'm still a raver at heart...

    The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia (Bruno Progressive Bootleg

    @Magnevi has a lot of good and valid points, but the fundamentals are there. Really good frame for a remix and needs a few more riffs and sounds to make it compelling. While I haven't remixed a track in a while, when I did I always asked myself, "How can I respect the original track while...

    The "it" factor - what makes you enjoy a track?

    Same. Having a track moving me emotionally, or also on the dancefloor, is what usually hooks me. For me, melody is a really big deal. If it has vocals, the lyrics also has to hit just right. A lot of Lange tracks come to mind...Follow Me, Happiness Happening, Red Sun Rising, etc.

    Second Nature - Longing For The Infinite EP

    Yeah, I get that. I'd like to think I'm "experienced" as well, though it's always quite refreshing and humbling when I go here because I always learn something new and get a different perspective. This EP and the EP before it were made all in the same time, so I just wasn't able to incorporate...

    Second Nature - Longing For The Infinite EP

    Thanks for the feedback. A lot of comments said the same as well with my other tracks, about the melodies being too basic or amateur, and while I can understand that in some sense, I find a lot of beauty in simplicity, and don't believe that good trance music needs to be overtly complex or...

    Second Nature - Longing For The Infinite EP

    All valid points and opinions, guys. No need to say sorry at all!! You can't please everybody. I liked it enough to release it and just wanted to share. The idea of the last song was to play with the melodic structure and have it transform into different versions of itself. Paragliders - Oasis...

    Second Nature - Longing For The Infinite EP

    The stabs from Euphoric were definitely inspired by "stabby" trance tracks, i.e. "Dj Tatana - Words" or "Chemistry - We Are One," I thought it best to introduce it slowly, as it doesn't have much variation. But I believed the underlying subtle synths working in the background help keep it from...

    Second Nature - Longing For The Infinite EP

    You hit the nail on the head again. I really love Matt Darey's arpeggiator work, and I use that technique as an homage to older trance. It's prominent in his work and it's just like the one you said on "Gamemaster." I know what you mean about the chorus not having enough power to push it to the...

You're def one who knows what makes trance special and how it should sound like. And just FYI, these were all made and finalized before I released my last EP, so...

    Top Video Game OST's, Movie Soundtracks, and Film Scores Thread

    The atmosphere is spot on. What's funny is that I actually love the long pauses and silences to set up the following notes being played. It really creates drama and tension. Very samurai and reminds me of Bushido Blade, an old playstation video game, haha.
