The Digital Blonde has gotten a lot of good rep for his modern progressive psytrance productions and his attention to detail. Some of his work, however, went largely under the radar. This was the case with Blaze, a 140 bpm unique psytrancer from his 2011 album Serenade. Although the title track earned the most attention and most closely replicates his late '90s epic style (ex. Legato), Blaze is worth looking at because it feels more like the genuine evolution of his style.

Bumping this one up.
So far, Blaze has accumulated ~530 views since its upload on Youtube across two videos (mine and the Youtube auto-generated).
I would say it's a hidden gem. If you like The Digital Blonde and enjoyed his faster-paced work like Legato, Electra, and Serenade, this one is for you.

Bump. One of the most underrated tracks in trance imo, and The Digital Blonde's masterpiece. The distorted rock guitar sound toward the end is SICK - never heard anything else like it in trance, and we'll likely never hear it again

Don't like the Vocals that go "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" but overall it's ok antico is better and Serenade as well.
