So this is dream trance? Just sounds like old trance. Fucking good trance at that.

Incredible, what a find! I love trance tracks that are all about that subtlety, those small vibrations, tender melodies... simply beautiful. A similar track is Cryptic Diffusion - Spring Tools and Energy 52 - Café Del Mar (Peace Mix). I would love to see a clean lossless vinyl rip of this.

Edit: I managed to get the track in (seemingly) lossless format.

First, I bought the track on iTunes, but it's 256kbps only sadly. I didn't know that iTunes only have tracks in such low quality. But Deezer and Qobuz have the track in proper lossless format. However, it seems to be a vinyl rip, at least based on the first 10-15 seconds, there are some cracklings and noise here and there.

Edit 2: I just checked the track with Spek. It looks like an upsampled 160kbps track sadly, with a hard cut-off at around 17.5khz.

Gorgeous sound design. Very rich and deep. The YouTube sample sounds like a vinyl rip, and giving off some of that typical warping and detuned feel at times. It adds to the charm.
