Honestly was expecting an expanded chord melody in the climax, but I also like this. Thank you for including warm chords! They are sorely missed in today's trance/prog. I like the track overall, has the energy and flow to it, it's playful enough. Will definitely take a listen on a better pair of headphones.

Great soundscapes as expected. Wished for a key change or something nearer the end to keep me engaged. Fun track though.

I’m relieved at these comments so far : )
This is such an odd tune and I love that about it, usually I go off my stuff quite quickly - saturation in studio I think. But I still like this. It began life as a brutal piece of techno centred around the opening gated sound (which is actually the same sound I made for the lead in the Puerto Princesa remix) and that wicked scraping bass noise (pure Korg Wavestate), but didn’t work. So I meandered through ideas and got the plucky hook and acid blobs sorted - but it was missing a lead. After many many shit ideas I started with the rhythm from Lieb’s ‘Lightspeed’ and not long after the lead riff was done.
Feels like a tune in two halves to me. Dark and moody - brightness - dark and moody.
Enjoy : )

Sounded really great. When it comes to this style of Trance you are a step above the rest.

I like the main melody. Having gone to the effort to construct something so good, it would have made sense to make more of it. Make it stand out for longer. Add an extra layer/twist.
Other than that, I think that the transitions in this track are quite weak. That's really what separates merely decent records from great ones. This sounds like a bit of a jumbled mess. Still quite enjoyable though and a decent effort.

Damn fine. Will have to listen more times this week to form a full opinion however.

Nice sounding track. The techy elements and melody are well balanced.

Love this one. Would fit nicely in to many different sets, including the nutrancey stuff.
Thank you guys! There are more positive comments here than the number of downloads on Beatport so far, hopefully this will change during the week!

LOOOOOL!!!!! And it got to a peak of #51 in the raw/deep/hypnotic/frogs/boobs/pavement trance charts. Shows how little is purchased these days
