Arksun - Arisen (2006)

[Propeller]

I love Arisen. Musically it's fantastic with great melodies and soundscapes. My only criticism is that technically it's not the best. It sounds muddly in places and could benefit from better mixdown.

As for Arksun's other productions, he released some great stuff on his own label Zone Recordings from 99 to 02, including Astrodancer and Into the Sun. Also made some great remixes around same time. His style became a bit more cheesy after that and I wasn't into the ASOT and anjunabeats releases.

Returning to a classic that needs a bump back to the top ;-)

btw checked out what i could and... only decent were Arksun - One Day (Part I) and Arksun - Alliance (Original Mix) it's like a remix of One Day or something very similar but i like the dynamic much more. the rest is in shadow of arisen imo (except luminary).

 

[Exodom]

So uplifting, i'm loving it always.

 

[Altair]

One of the few tracks I'd recommend for someone who doesn't know trance as an exemplary representation of the entire damn genre.

 

[Progrez]

He didn't quit music for good, maybe trance. Every now and then he post some ambient pieces on his Soundcloud, albeit pretty rarely.

[Trance4Ever]

This track is just absolutely phenomenal

So is the Sean tyas remix but original just hits differently entirely.

Exactly. I'd argue that Arisen resonates because it's perfectly accessible to mainstream audiences and critics while still being an 'underground' track. Like Xpander but for late-00s progressive trance (coincidentally, both original mixes are around 11 minutes).

 

[KrissO]

Always reminds me of this set, which at the time was just perfect! Still great now listening back and Arisen was such an amazing opener
