    OUT Armin van Buuren & Rank 1 - The Greater Light To Rule The Night [ASOT]

    Overall I quite like the track, sounds more or less like I would expect from a Rank 1 track. I find that the melody goes on a bit too long, especially as it's constantly changing and some sections don't seem to be in the right octave and kind of ruin the flow. Gotta say though, especially the...

    OUT Armin van Buuren and Aly & Fila feat. Kazi Jay - For All Time [Armind]

    Is this confirmed as a collab? I don't hear any Armin elements (except maybe that gatted riff in the break build-up) and surprisingly not that much white noise for an A&F track

    Will Atkinson VS Klaus Kaz- Hard Vox Tekk [Victims Helpline]

    There's like 4 different tracks in that 2 minute preview, talk about having no clue what to do with this track. Usually I'm a big Will fan (except funnily enough almost everything released on Victims), but this one is off the mark quite a bit. There's zero cohesion holding these various elements...

    OUT 8 Wonders - The Fight For Freedom [A State Of Trance]

    For those complaining about the no build up, I for one am tired of the same elements being rehashed 10,000 times over. Let's not act like M.I.K.E. (which this track took a lot of inspiration from), did FX driven build-ups in many of his classics. It was just a simple crescendo of the synth work...

    Young Parisians - Rediscover

    Really great summery track and the vocals are well tuned with the beat. There's a nice liquid, sea-sounding touch that I quite appreciate. Overall a pleasant surprise from a name I was not at all expecting to see again!

    OUT Activa & Shelley Segal - Fall In [Black Hole Recordings]

    I can hear the G&D swing influences, but I'd need a longer preview to make up my mind about it. As this is supposed to be on the album, some variety is always good, and at least Activa is trying to create different vibes with the tracks. Let's see how it plays out in the final track

    Will Atkinson & Paul Van Dyk - Awakening (Will Atkinson Club Mix)

    Fingers crossed we can get an extended mix release, as I consider it better than the original

    OUT UDM - Soundscape [Pure Trance Neon]

    Probably great to hear in a club once or twice and that's it. The similarities to Majestic are too much for me to accept, besides the obvious reuse of typical UDM elements. I still think Move On is his best track, that one knows it's not a track to be taken seriously, and simply offers a...

    OUT Activa - Polestar [Black Hole Recordings]

    Having listened to the full mix a few times now, and I like it even more than the preview. I still think a little element, like a sub-riff or an extra acid line, in the 2nd climax would lift this track to a new level. Production wise this is absolutely incredible though, and that base is so damn...

    Peter Steele - Creation [PURE TRANCE]

    Love those Blade Runner vibes, and I for one am a fan of the simple beats. I think the synths are the real jewel of this track, let them take all the soundscape.

    Ovnimoon - Volar [Album]

    Whether he does goa, psy, ambient (under his OM alias) prog psy under the 3 Access & You project, or slower beats like in this album, Ovnimoon is simply one of the best artists I ever had the pleasure of discovering over the years.

    OUT Activa - Polestar [Black Hole Recordings]

    I've been relistening to the preview quite a few times over the past days. It's a grower, and I think it would fit great as a buildup song in a set, but as a standalone piece it's not that impressive. Loving more and more the base and mids though, and those subtle acids are really nice.

    OUT Activa - Polestar [Black Hole Recordings]

    Nobody knows for sure since initially the album was supposed to be the Tri-Series more or less, but it seems that is an hommage LP. Now it appears he's working in parallel on a full-fledged album. Either way, he's been producing a lot of tracks over the past 12-18 months, they need to show up...

    Sebastian Brandt & Peter Steele - Singularity [RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT]

    I was expecting something more from this track, especially that Brandt finally decided to put his name to a release again. Ironically, this sounds a lot like something Activa might produce, I mean I hear so many elements in common with his productions it's crazy

    OUT Stoneface & Terminal - Moonscape [FSOE]

    I really love this one, it has a nice fairy soundscape to it. I think the main 4 mote melody can be improved and made to have more progression, but overall I very enjoyable track

    John Dopping & Anthony Yarranton - Amrita (Inc Basil O'Glue Remix) [Research & Development Music]

    I expected something a lot more chaotic from the original given that John does some excellent psybreaks infused stuff, but i like it as it is. Vrije Staat's remix takes the cake though, it's not even a close contest

    OUT Will Rees - Exponent [FSOE]

    Always been a sucker for the Sam Jones/Will Rees sound, this is right up my alley although it could have been a bit crazier, like Need You

    John 00 Flemming - The Finding (Chapter 2) [JOOF Recordings]

    I'm of the same opinion as everyone else. This deep rog JOOF sound, while exceptionally produced, simply does nothing for me. It lacks emotion and a sense of journey, which so many of his tracks took me on back in the day. My only hope is that he keeps things close to the roots with the 3rd...

    OUT Activa - Polestar [Black Hole Recordings]

    Not the most original Activa track, but I am a sucker for his clean sound, and I actually enjoy the baseline and mids quite a lot in this one

    Schiller ft. Peter Heppner - I Feel You (Aly & Fila Remix) [FSOE]

    I'm a huge fan of Schiller and the original works so well with Peter's deep voice. @Gagi I think you can make the vocals work on a higher tempo, just listen to the PVD remix. However, the uplifting style with the typical added happier sounding piano riffs doesn't work that well here. You still...
