It's not quite as good as say Papillon by Union Jack, but it's got the same sort of vibe. The best I've heard from him since Here Comes the Rain Again, Firebird and Ultrafoxx.

There is no sustained emotion in the track nor in the notes being played.

are we listening to the same track? I think there's plenty of emotion in both.

So true! Would love a Union Jack remix in this style, bit faster and more energetic. Otherwise I'm liking the original so far.

This sample alone doesn't call out an emotional response in me. I'll come back here after I have heard the full track though.

Yeah but I have over 30 years of listening experience so I know if a track sounds good or not.

So do I and I think it's the strongest A.O.T / Simon Berry track in years by the clip.

Yeah I know but I was only saying that based on saying I know what I do like it's my opinion though.

this superdry polished minimal stuff had its peak 20 years ago. 'Microhouse' and the 'Neo-Trance' of the mid 2000's were the siblings of this sound..


imho since the year 2010 is this sound outdatet and uncool, pls mr 'Art Of Trance' wake up

I agree, the very dry and sterile sounds are much harder to escape into.
