Look forward to hearing the full release as have enjoyed Matchbox releases in the past few years. Bliss Inc's remix is quite Trancey compared to his usual stuff. Not bad! The Dylan Forbes track could be quite dreamey and nice too, although looks like it might be vinyl only. Only a snipper of that one provided so far.

It starts out good but it doesnt build energy/tension the wayi prefer. After that i find it quite similar to other nutrance stuff with that stuttering vox and the snares/hats aswelll. The break is lovely though

the EP is OUT today, 'Quantum Transients' is my pick, lovely main theme, just too short for my taste.. 7.5/10

'Earth Face' and the 'Bliss Inc Remix are okk, the other tracks are uninteresting for me

All got bits I like about them but most dont really hit me when all is said and done.Tracks like Earth Face, Nocturnal and Midnight have lack groove or drive that just makes it a bit boring afterwhile. DS is right about the whole build/tension thing, and lack thereof. Common theme in the nu-trance stuff I think.

Quantum Transients is actually pretty nice though, been enjoying that one a lot. 7.5/10 about right. Bliss Inc one has been growin on me too. The break bit is indeed lovely though. Probably works good in a mix. Also that drum & bass/breaks one is pretty lush and nice at times, although bit overly hectic.

Cyber Sunshine

Really annoying that the Forbes remix is vinyl only as sounds like it could be so nice.
