Fan to the tastic. Proper prog trance.

both tunes are lush, dynamic and playful yet driving and edgy. Look ahead got those breeder typical late 90s percs.

The rhythms are infectious and the melodic elements are emotional. All of it is a joy to listen too. Digger has some fine tracks.

One of the greatest in your long and illustrious history of TranceFix bumps. The beauty of these tunes is incredible. The breakdown in Estonian Blue is one of the most beautiful in all of trance, whereas Look Ahead is just gorgeous in its entirety. Soft, rich chords are so underrated as a musical element.

They're nice, but I reckon the first track has 'borrowed' a sample from Sasha's Xpander, and the second sounds suspiciously like it's built on a PvD kickdrum/loop.

Was listening to Estonian Blue the other day while walking somewhere (and all the other digger tracks) and damn, such underrated track. It builds up so much emotion/tension its ridiculous. One cant help but feel these sentimental thoughts of childhood when those piano lines play over the gated synths. It really tells a story.

Finally gave Estonian Blue a proper listen. It has been on repeat ever since. This is a true masterpiece of progressive trance. It has been said already, the build up is extremely well made. It flows organically.

I can never find something to ask for Christmas, now I remember: Digger - Estonian Blue should be my Christmas present this year.
