Hi guys! Sorry for the shameless self promo again :ROFLMAO:

126bpm progressive EP this time. Hope you like it, taken from my debut Album coming out somewhere in 2022.

Far From West (prev):

Gears (prev):

"Alter Ego welcomes back a legend in the Trance world and no stranger to the label this being his first release on the progressive imprint and second outing taken from his up and coming album.

Miikka really does show is diversity in style with both 'Far From West & Gears' bring in release 459. 'Far From West' is real journey from start to finish. Reminisces of the old trance sound, powerful, driving and deep with a stunning piano breakdown building a real atmosphere. 'Gears' takes a very very different take, the term chunky but funky comes to mind. A really dance floor groover, driving and bouncy before another unreal breakdown. An unreal EP from Miikka with a little something for both tastes on either side."

Cheers,
Miikka

Far from West I'm liking Miikka. Worried when I read about the BPM but it works for me. Melody I wish had some variation but the change up in the base notes carried it for me. Enjoyed it.

Gears is funky and playful, not my usual go to style I'm afraid . Appreciate the work gone in to it though. Others will like it.

👍🏼

Gears will make a great soundtrack for my windsurfing -H0mesp0t series, if you're ok with me using it :p

Far From West is nice man. Will your album be lower on the BPM scale or a mix of this pace and more banging. Prefer this approach!

Thank you! It will be between 124-138bpm but more on slower side I think.

I'm so sorry but this slow bpm progressive trance didnt work for me. Far From West too basic melody, and tautologize, makes me feel the song is too tedious and boring.
