I'm surprised this one never got a mention on this forum when EA4 came out. One of the most beautiful tracks from the compilation, ethereal vocals, pads, synths....
Solarstone - Pale Blue Dot [Pure Trance]

Nice track as usual from Rich. Solarstone, Active and Digital Blonde...so glad we got them still going strong. When are the new generation of producers in the scene gonna step up?
So much to like about this track.... but kinda falls flat for me because the percs and bass are so lifeless. If this track was made 15 years ago using whatever equipment/approach of the times I have no doubt it would sound amazing. It feels like there is no energy in those beats and low-ends. The percs are modern feeling in all the wrong ways. Even the synths sound lifeless. Why is it the same story every time with the modern tracks?

Hensmon is right, but its still an interesting track that is more original than most and sounded good in the EA mix.

I don't mind the modernness. I like the clear 'n crisp productions too. Like those new Estuera tracks.

not a fan of the jarre-esque trance. It sounds awkward to me. It doesnt fit somehow.
And yes the sloppu beat is not good anywhere. but theres elements in this that can be liked, but as awhole its not flowing for me.

It feels like an experimental kind of track. Its elements don't blend together, but it still makes an impression.
I think this is better aligned with, say, Bonobo instead of trance.
