I can appreciate the odd "good" squeecky / farty bass. But this seems to be a bit much. First two minutes feel like a crappy electro-anjuna track in a bad mash-up with the build-up from Escape layered behind it. The plucks from Escape are hardly coming through.

Hmm...

The ""drop"" is such a mess. What the fuck am I hearing? It's such a sidechained fest of layers, everything tries to be loud. You end up hearing this:

Kick - WHOOOSH - Kick - WHOOOSH - Kick - WHOOSH - Kick - WHOOOSH

Escape is supposed to be a melancholic, desperate track. It's small, introvert. But that whole theme is ruined. Raped even.
----------------------------------

Result: Release on the biggest trance label in the history of the genre, run by the biggest most influental trance dj ever.

Cheap and amateurish trash. I suppose most producers realise that making music is worthless these days.

Terrible....interestingly,i tried a remix once from the midi file,and i just couldnt get it sounding right. I might revisit it sometime...its such an interesting melancholic melody.
Yeah it's crazy simple but he makes it sound so sophisticated with various effects.
