Sam Laxton is back on FSOE with a superb uplifting trance record, 'Innocence'. As supported in Aly & Fila's live sets over the summer as well as their exclusive ASOT takeover show. Another beauty from Sam.

Melody isn't bad. Although it's nothing special either compared to melodies created one or two decades ago.

But god... Sam didn't think he was original sounding now right? Cuz fuck, how generic is this? Everything sounds template. Aweful. Wouldn't sign it if I had a label. But somehow it's on the one of the biggest trance labels and played on the biggest trance show. I must be crazy then.

Its all backwards. Sometimes I believe that most modern trance producers are either brainwashed or robots.

This is supposed to be a follow up to his succesul track Scent, but its not as good as Scent. Still pretty solid, around 6,5/10
Anyway decent production by uhm...probably James Dymond :)

I lately talked with my good old friend, who collects comic books for more than 30 years.. he said to me that the 95% of todays comics are only industry/business 'thing': the art is lame, the dialogs are super stupid, the same recycled ideas.. but these comics are commercialy very succesful, most of the comic fans buy them... then the other 5% are super creative art comics, avaible on the same shops, but they are rarely known in the comics community..

Well, people are strange, it looks like they want always the same, no art is needed anymore

Because this sounds like every other uplifter posted here for years and years, and there is better Trance out there.

As for this track i like it has a feel good factor to it and it isnt obliterated with white noise and over compression i have heard worse tracks this year and of course better but its a solid enough release for me.
