Better than his average tracks in 2024, but still plain and pointless.
5/10
Some of the tracks he released last year were really good (Inner Child, Nostalgia, The Subtle Art, Alexandeplatz). For me, they were the best he has done in last 15 years. This new one is nowhere near them, 4/10 at most

You didn't like the tracks from Parallel Line/Bright Lines/Dark Lines?

This is missing a strong hook it lacks groove and emotions and it sounds like soulless very apathetic/Gen Z stare track and it's too loud too.

I have listened to several of them. I really like his Principles of Forgiveness, Alexanderplatz, Pacifica, and Inner Child. I can give Alexanderplatz a 6.5/10.

But some are also terrible, for example Control Kaos, Psyt3ch, Asteroids. I can only rate at most 4.5/10 for those.

Edit:
I personally like his 2013-2018 period the most. I don't know much about his older tracks, but some of his tracks like "Sadness in Black and White", "Rain Upon My Skin", "Game of Life", "A Touch of Grace" are my favorite. Rain Upon My Skin is 8.5/10 for me.
I heard those tracks in 2021, they made me interested and helped me to dive deeper into JOOF recordings.

Have you heard 'Tigris and Euphrates' yet?
The original one, not the one released a few years later.
The melodic progression is otherworldly...
Takes long to build up, but I have a huge goosebumps moment when it comes.
It's from 2014 I think.

His older tracks are amazing as well.
Check out 'Escape From Nowhere', 'I Want To Believe (Remix)', 'Ayumi Hamasaki - UNITE (Airwave Remix)', as a Collab with DJ Fire 'Fire & Ice - Souvenir De Chine',
Fire & Ice - Para Siempre' - gorgeous melody.

Also I had to mention the great Collab project Cape Town (with Ferry Tayle).
'Proglifter'.

Then there was Planisphere which was a Collab with his Greek friend Georges Petkodis (Inflexion),
many great tracks.

'Planisphere - Solarism (Ferry Style Universal Language Remix)' is one I really enjoy.

Those are just my highlights, because Airwave has so many aliases and productions that one could say it is more than the complete output of 20 normal producers.
I think it's nearly a thousand tracks.

you are right Tigris and Euphrates and Sadness in Black and White were great, but thats almost 11-12 years ago. So I change my statement to: he released some of his best tracks last year in 11 years

this is surprisingly inconsistent, when clicking randomly at different parts of the track they sound almost like they're different tracks... might be bc of the original that I am not familiar with but still sounds weird
