Gotta say, I like the sound of this. Nice bassline and nice overall progression. First time in a while that I liked a Push tune.

I gotta be honest, this doesn't do much for me. But to be fair, I was never really a fan of M.I.K.E.'s sound in the first place, so there's only a few originals from him I truly like (all of which are released in or around the early 00's) :p

what an unheard comment, especially in this forum 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #sarcasm

There is a few original form? just wow, what a fucking comment!
I feel like every single topic I go, there is a sore loser with a same boring ass comment. If you havne't been his fan, why even fucking bother.

I actually like the production here, but the melodic department lacks just a bit of something to make the whole track a great one. But overall, I think it's quite a step forward from his previous tracks. That bassline is almost orgasmic.

Whoa there, tone down your language. Your comment is actually much harsher than his.

Easy now.
Just because I don't like the majority of his originals, doesn't mean I don't like any of them. So I'm still giving them a fair chance or two. I actually do this for a bunch of other artists as well, even if I normally don't like their stuff, cause you never know, there might be a track here and there which stands out from the rest.

Found some other samples, I really like it ! Most recent Push tracks are too empty. This one has those typical atmospheric layers added too.

The second part of the track is really nice, and that second break with the piano is lovely. Seems he took some influences from Plastic Boy with the rather upbeat synths instead of the deep spacey stuff he normally goes for. It also sounds like he cut down quite a lot on the baseline compression, which was always a sticking point for me on the FSOE releases throughout the years.

Has potential and lots I like, but synth and drums feels like they have been recorded in a vacuum. Its so clinical and lacks soul

I like it, it does what a good trance record should do - touches the emotions. It's well produced, as you'd expect, and also has the classic MIKE sound.

There's not much in this track that makes me think of M.I.K.E. He needs to relisten to his High Contrast releases from 4-6 years ago like Analogy, Canvas, Chiffon. Those were great modern takes on the M.I.K.E. sound. His FSOE material is the one I enjoy the least on average, with a few exceptions like Tachyon.
The lead in this one actually has more of a Plastic Boy vibe anyway, so not sure why he did not use that alias.
