Anyways, I was listening to this yesterday and I personally think this gets better with every 5 years that passes. Its so well made and arranged/structured maybe simple on the surface but really not if you listen carefully. I always pic up on new details, fills,rhytmic patterns, added textures/melodies in quality trance. I dont know with you guys but when you listen to a track you most often only focus on one or two or three parts, one groove, one riff, one line, bassline, kick, melody,break, the usual stuff. Especally with tracks you play often and like .You hear the whole track but your brain doesnt pick up on everything even if you think you hear it all, unintentionally ofc. Some sounds just dissapear in the mix wheter you like it or not depending on your current mood/mental state and how much you pay attention.
So I more often than not try to listen to a track I like differently than last time, ignoring the stuff I usally pick up on the surfacelevel. Very gratifying experience imo. And this track def has some of that stuff to discover.
A few noticable sounds/changes/added stuff in this thats not always obvious if you just casually listen to it.
- the bassline at the start is great isnt it? Well, its not gonna return later. simple one note bassline,
but very effective use of rhythm to make it groovin/driving. It only continues to the first break around the 1 min mark. Atleast its not at all noticable for me later or it could be obscured by all the other layers.
-0.30, hear those shakin/rattling/industrious drum fills that ar being faded subtly into the mix in the background? Can easily be ignored on first listen.
-1,40. Hear that bleeping melody? haha, jk. But i bet you missed the clicks/pulse beat rhythm supporting the said bleepy melody in background.
-2.07, I also bet you missed the angelic/gated(?) synth that fades in around here that back/counterbalance the main bleepy melodys rhythm on your first or second listen.
from there on its just a masterclass in layering in more and more stuff without it being overcrowded, so pay attention to everything that happens around the bleeping melody.
I bet theres some more noticable stuff/changes to pick up that I havn't, so please update me if you've pick up on something else. Everyone listens in their own way/pace ofc and overanalysing/ excess listening to stuff can be both a curse and gift. Just was in the mood to write this.
Think im done with this track for awhile
