New Artist Album from Markus Schulz.
Sounds pretty generic and bland in my opinion, nothing special. In fact, in all previews every track blends into the next, it feels like one long track. (Similar kick, leads etc...)
Its a shame, the last album I really liked from him was "Do You Dream?", and some tracks of "Scream 2". He once had this "dark" feeling in his tracks I really liked, that is now totally gone.
Oh and the artwork is....interesting.

Previews:

This wasnt interesting at all. He doesnt have an identity anymore.

This sounds like Super8&Tab, Above & Beyond, Armin-pop, and way too many breaks/d&b ish tracks.

Escape is ‘alright’ maybe. Its the best track on it...

Was this even promoted?(I've been a bit out of loop with news in the Trance industry). I liked the main album track Escape. In Search Of Sunrise was decent too. I do agree with the general notion that many of these tracks do sound very "Similar" to each other.

I think he started to promote it 2 weeks ago or so. At least this was the first time i´ve seen something related to it I think. I agree, the title track Escape is better than the rest.

A complete joke. Why is this guy still relevant? He has done nothing good in the past 10 years, or so.

Most tracks sound like something Tiesto would have played maybe 8 years ago. Someone forgot to tell Markus that the Swedish House Mafia sound is not relevant anymore.

Wow....A future trance classic...<3 <3 <3

Wait For You is orgasmic. Incredible track!!

Turn Me Down is a massive banger

Beautiful album, yet again <3

A few quotes from his facebook page - perhaps.... perhaps we are wrong? What if.... we were the bad guys all along?

He is definitely not at his best. Only song that actually peaked my interest was In Search Of Sunrise which is amazing, but other than that nothing special. Solarstone on the other hand released a solid Ibiza tribute album and can make circles around him...
