Very good track. For me personally it is very rare to like trance with vocals. The vocals here dont fit very well for this. But the rest of the track is solid.

I was at the Transmission event where he played this. I remember thinking after: "huh, I guess he didn't play the new Gouryella. Oh well". Turns out he did play this lol. I love Gouryella and was excited for a new entry but besides the bassline, this doesn't feel like a Gouryella track to me. Bit disappointing to be honest. But I do think the track is okay, but more as a Ferry Corsten track.

I'm in the minority then but after hearing a better quality copy, I really like it. It works and it's different.

Enjoyed the preview and now after hearing full length twice in recent ASOT episode, definitely like it even more.
There is something up with the vocals and how its sung which reels me in and the track itself is amazing.

Thank god Ferry used a pleasant EQ mastering style, like recent Ferry Corsten tracks. Orenda, Anahera etc. were soooo bleeding my ears.
Totally lovely track imo !

For some reason I can't get into the vocals. It's like they don't fit very well, but production wise it's pretty much what I like about classic Ferry.
Rarely do I see artists making their old sound to this level of precision!

Ok this is pure magic. Vocals are so different but they do work. Chord changes are unreal. Made myself a lil edit as a few things nearer the beginning I wasn't as keen on but holy s**t this is fire.

Thomas Datt. Lol, nuff said.

This new Ferry track is fantastic. We should be glad that at least a big name as Ferry came back to real good trance.

Reactions range from 'brilliant' to 'utter disappointment' 😁 . Maybe it just needs a dub version ,the instrumental is smooth and enjoyable, but the vocals are debatable. For me, it’s simply not the vibe I’m looking for at the moment

.

Not a fan of this, but I do like the mixing and I think this was a nice effort on modernizing Gouryella's sounds.
The vocals, Saskia is a great vocalist, but wrong song. Putting her voice on autotune should be a crime (that's how it sounds to me).

I actually like this, better than Orenda, whose melody is too inspired by the Interstellar theme, not so original. I think I can also get the feeling the vocal, with some background stories that The Gift by Way Out West is an all time favourite tune of Ferry and has inspired him a lot.

I saw Thomas Datt's rant about this track,said it was devoid of any soul - whats he on about?! Theres 99% of the other modern Trance he could complain about,but he chooses this..
He is into pseudo science like the third eye and what not.

Dub or Instrumental version, in any case, remove those horrible vocals. Vocals rarely make a trance record better.

I did actually get a copy and then without listening through in advance, put it on last in a mix I was doing. Hoped for some of the Ferry magic to come and slap me in the scrotum.

Felt really underwhelmed sadly, and the vocals just made me feel like I've come down with a fever.
