Wow the melody is quite impressive I must say. Got me right after first listen. About the beatwork...well, its not steroid or extra loud, but it still somehow way too punchy and more "current" than it should be, but all in all this is very interesting one :)

Very very nice production, loved the melody change at 4:10 also the atmosphere is cool overall
Yup, easy formula for GREAT trance I hope more producers try to make this type of trance (once again) with their own twist/signature sound.

This one gets 10/10! it's simply gorgeous, Brent, if you're reading this, this one is definitely your breakthrough track/ & a future classic! the atmosphere, the layering, the tempo, synth, melody, bassline...all perfect! everything checks out and the feeling from 1:45 onwards just further promises that this is going to take you on a journey (intro melody which sounds like the famous first trance track of the history everyone talks about)

^ with the intro feel I was referring to "The Age Of Love" classic - considered as one of the first few releases in the history of trance music.

Anyway surprised to see this on Mike's label :D

Well the melody is really outstanding in this one...not 10/10 from me....BUT its surely one of the best uplifters around and I would give a solid 8/10

Really liking this one. Nice production and catchy melody! :cool: (y)

*edit*
Forgot to mention, there's a bit of a Flaming June vibe to the lead melody for the first few notes as well
😉

Is it reaaaallly that good? I get that the melody theme evolves into a second lift but apart from that it sounds pretty generic doesnt it? It reminds me of a regular release by maybe suncatcher or whatever. I dont get the fuzz!

It started off promising,very solid producton and sub melody build - but the main melody didnt grab me,and they are using those terrible default sounding main synths - its the first preset youd probably find hehe.
