Sunny Lax - P.U.M.A. (Original mix) [2005]

[Daysleeper]

Yes, more life in the synths. The ones in PUMA sound a bit flat to me, when compared. Sunny Lax has done some great things with them, no doubt, he has made the track itself alive. But to me, the opening synths in Ocean Green and Desire carry much more emotion on their own. The styles aren't that comparable, I'll give you that. But not even Majestic was; so what? I'm talking about the Top 20 uplifting trance tracks.

And we've fallen into the black hole of discussing what uplifting really is. Some of my recommendations don't compare to PUMA in the purest sense of the word, but stylistically I'd say it falls into the uplifting category. If we count only the tracks that really uplift you, we'll be left with 7 tracks, and of course PUMA would be in the top 20.

I could dig deeper and find some other stuff that I prefer which is more suitable for comparisons. Mind Circles, for instance, Symbols, Halo...

As for the rest of the block of text, nothing to argue about. You like PUMA, I prefer other stuff, so let's leave it at that.

Great post. I appreciate that

I have a hard time thinking this will age badly, and that it will sound so fresh and dreamy and dynamic in 10-15 years aswell.

The B Side is also good too

Cassiopeia

 

[Breach]

Both amazing tracks, but Cassiopeia is even better than PUMA I think. I don't know if I ever heard it before until now. Instant love.

Might have to agree with there

The main puma lead with that resonance lfo and gentle distortion in the low end is just so good

But listen to the baseline, kick and hats on Cassiopeia Jetflag. It's such a rich, textured, breathable and well balanced experience. Make something that sounds like that, I DARE you. I actually don't believe it can be done with todays typical technology, but I want nothing more to be proven wrong. Don't even make a full track, just show 25 seconds of 2005 bliss.....

Very well, I shall give it a try. 25 secs eh?

It sounds more well balanced and subtle

Listen to how it varies in tone and sound and volume from 2:51 - 3:12 this is not something you hear in modern day tracks. Also, along with the string pads as well.

yeah, we're not going there with my impossible scedule yet m8. 1 step at a time. starting off with the kick/bass/perc/FX thingy. 0.25 seconds.

can always build from there.

I still disagree that Cassiopeia is the superior track here by the way. The sinelead melody and accompanying arpeggio are..... basic at best... they're not nearly as musically innovative and memorable as P.U.M.A. with its slowy evolving crystaline melody riff that the track is so well known for.

fully agree with Anjunabeat's choice to make Cassiopeia, good as it is production wise. the B side.

Well, I was just asking if you agree with my statement in that post. I do prefer Puma it's so euphoric.
