I liked and supported his previous productions, this is way too simple for me. Strong pass.

For me Jonas is the ultimate artist for an early evening spot on my personal timetable for the "ultimate trance event".

Sounds like a Pulser track. Not bad but not that good, Anaphora was on a higher level.
I agree that Anaphora is still his best work in recent times, but I think (judging by the preview at least) that this is up there. Looking forward to hearing the full version.

I quite like it! Big fan of the square-wavey melody. Interesting to hear what an uplifting version would be like though.

The build-up is rather good, I enjoyed it and looked forward to the climax...until it hit. The melody quite suddenly became very simple, boring and repetitive. Don't think the bass fits. Had ideas, the execution could've been better.

0:44 - 2:16 is trance to chill out to material.
The main melody starting at 2:16 isn't the greatest, but one thing I will note is that the production quality of this is pretty good. I like how Steur adds tightness to the track without relying on cliches. The background noise at 3:23 is superb, and I wish he could have expanded more on that. There's enough variation to keep things interesting.
As @Gagi mentioned, though, something about the bass during the climax feels off. I think this track isn't meant to be heard on headphones, but instead maybe it was optimized for large sound systems. It feels like a DnB "variation in production," where the original track had a subtler bassline.
A full track that expands on the ideas from 0:44 throughout 2:16 would be amazing.

Ooooh this is fantastic! Like a cross between old school Thrillseekers/MIKE sounds with modern production techniques.
The build up and the outro are both interesting and non-standard and I like the melancholic lead synths. Simple but they work.

And I love the way the lead progresses with effects added on in the second half of the verse to increase the tempo.
High quality stuff from a guy whom I hadn't heard of though he seems to be well known by many on this forum.

When the melody is so simple for me, and not enjoyable again for me, then I don't care and can't appreciate much about built up etc. As said I supported his previous come back tracks like Umbra, but I don't like that. He is good producer and I would like more.
