I bought the track months ago and it's in my Best for 2020 playlist as well as in other playlists. I really really like it and as mentioned it has many classic elements. That track could have been released back in 2006 and now be praised as an old classic and that now days tracks like that don't come out etc. It's nice that this thread got some more attention and great words it deserves, but it's not enough sadly.

Imo Pure Trance, Pure Progressive and NEON have released some brilliant releases this year that can win the test of time and become modern classics. From Allende's Essence to Cherry Blossom of Sector7, to Digital Blonde 15 minute remix and others I may forget right now, they keep delivering very quality, real trance music for different tastes.

Trance is in very good state and there are labels that keep the spirit alive and fresh. Hopefully more support will come.

For me the consistency is really varying, and thats the problem. And more often than ever Rich plays the same cheesy upliter or steroid trance from the "regular" ASOT sound.

I can be without the giuseppe's, robert nicksson, craig coneely, fery tayle, Gareth emeryGive all those pure/half cheese producers to Armin. Let he play them in Asot. We need new fresh air. Look at Solarstone presents the pure mix from this year. All the bottom tracks starting from R.Nickson and ending with the horrible Steve Dekay / Emamuel Congedu steroid upltifer is typcial ASOT cheee.

Throw all those in the garbage. If theres tracks like Hutan out there but he still play the same as asot second hour...thats not goot. And tbh I feel that SS isnt that far from Armin in his playing style haha. But I dont wanna listen to joof,airwave,tim benner, gai barone, because those are at the other side of extreme.

Nice spacey progressive - the reverbed clap taken straight from the 93 Returning mix of Nothing and the cid line reminds me of the Z2 remix of Ecano - Run. (which Solarstone incidentally made).

The guys saying they wouldnt buy because the mixdown isnt perfect - get a grip lol. As long as its not terrible and i really like the track id still buy it. Look at Digital Blonde's stuff - badly mastered but theyre still classics.

whos this guy?

This track succeeds with something many other is miles away from and that is that it feels very fluid. I agree that it can be a little static but the way it builds is just very fluid and smooth.

Edit: An this can easily be put in a playlist with older golden age trance :) I think this track will last. The melody is so subtle yet so rewarding, love how it phasing in and out and how it changes some notes in a very subtle way. Its almost a little Radiance vibe in this now when I think about it.

Edit: This must be the most PURE tune PT ever released! What else to compete?

Edit: I think this might be in my top 5 together with DB/ST - Wasteland pt.2 from the last 10 years.
Produced by Zac Antoni from Swansea, Wales,

And another fine example of missing a beauty because the artist name is unknown to you. It's hard to keep up with all the stuff released lol. This is truly a standout production though. Love it! Pure Trance :p

LOL I love how this goes from "hmm this track COULD have been better but it's still really good" to "hell yeah this track is amazing"

In the end I didn't buy this track because the mastering and the mixdown is really quite poor, as @Enlusion mentioned.
Gives it that amateur experimenting vibe to it. I like it.

Never caught this from last year. It sounds like 2004/5 or something. Epic.

Fun fact: a Hoopoe is a cool looking bird, which I only know because I saw many in Egypt once.
