Push - Elegance [Bonzai Classics]

[Freezer]

Not a classic but actually a brand-new Push track! It comes on an album sampler from From Beyond (Remastered) on Bonzai Records!

Well...I know many people here will say that this is just the same thing again...but I like it a lot. Melodic-wise its like a more happy variation of Strange World...which is not a bad thing of course The only thing I dont like here is the kick, which is too soft and sounds way too much present rather than oldschool and it lacks the power of the old Push tracks...

Too lazy to grab my headphones from the backpack, but I think I might actually like this one.

 

[Arnoud]

I like it. Nothing memorable but decent. @Freezer I think the kick is too loud. I much prefer a softer kick that was used on for example Universal Nation 2003.

 

[TeardropNL]

Played Elegance first and then Till we meet again and Live on.

Painful how those old tracks sound solid as a hammer, and the new one like pure trash!

 

[aSeb]

This goes nowhere. Bland effort this time.

 

[Rok]

Pretty solid, I like it.

have to agree.

 

[Magdelayna]

Still better than 99% of modern Trance..hes doing a pretty good job of replicating his old classic sound,although i agree the kick should be softer.

What? Do you know what loud and soft means? UN has much harder and louder kick. This one has weak and soft kick. On main part kick should be much more louder, its just wrong sound selection.

Track it self sounds amateurish and boring.

 

[Archon]

As far as his old tracks (in the same style) go, the only thing that's different here is that there's no overwhelming (in a good way!) wall of sound. And there are a few arrangement tweaks here and there that would help with the smoothness and flow of it. But that's about it.

As far as modern Push tracks go, this is one of the closest to the old sound, and I'm glad to see him getting better at it. It's also a good track regardless. Gave me slight goosebumps just before the climax started. Also, some things you just can't replicate.

It seems a bit unfair, comparing it to tracks from From Beyond, as it has a lot of that 90s sound to it.

Jup. Perhaps you should stick to Billy Gillies 'boom boom boom' productions.

[Hot Tuna]

Given that the release is "From Beyond - Remastered", I would imagine the tune is actually a very old, unreleased offcut that didn't make it onto the album at the time. It's probably a combination of the original synth tracks mixed with new drums to bring it up to modern standards (for better or worse). Hence it not really sounding like one thing or the other.

 

[Exodom]

I like it. Not spectacular musical journey, but I think it's better than some of more recent ones he has done.

 

[Hensmon]

Just listened to this. Enjoy the simpleness of the melody. Something about the percussion I dont get though. Either way I can appreciate it.

 

[Daysleeper]

wrong bpm, no drive, no energy, broish robotic over-prounounced bassline, no flow, level 1 boring stale rhythms. recycled halting melody.

sounds like a handicapped push track.
