Afterglow is the first single from Disc 1 of Pure Progressive Vol. 3, compiled and mixed by Slam Duck. Afterglow takes the deep trance path and is comprised of rattling percussion, evolving synth stabs and a subdued, haunting atmosphere

I'm personally all over this track, I adore it. Instant top 3 of the year for me along with Basil O'Glue's 'Tell Nobody'

Thanks for the share.

Hmm. Early rattle kinda became annoying for me. Also was waiting for it change/break up and it kinda didn't (well not enough).

Some nice ideas with the subtle tones but prefer his previous releases/remixes on your own label @Enlusion (a la 1999)

how do you support this average crap?

its a superlazy b-side leftover production clearly, disguised as a ready- to-release-track. theres nothing to this track, seriously so boring how it build, or sorry I mean how it doesnt build into anything. its like a 16 bar loop repeated with some subtle synths in the middle that just starts to build but there zero ideas where it will go.

Quite harsh I think to call it crap. Its not too bad, but I agree it has no musical development to really be memorable, and no proper groove or rythmn to make it dance floor worthy. So like so much prog it sits in this middle space of nice enough, but ultimately underwhelming.
