OUT Super8 & Tab vs Factor B - From Way Back [Who's Afraid Of 138?!]

[Propeller]

As others have said the intro and the outro so don't fit with the main lead. The main lead is soft and summery with gentle piano. Then at 5:55 you get an outro which sounds like something out of a bangin' tech trancer.

And those facebook comments above are hilarious ^^

Theres some sad people about....complaining about peoples opinions on a forum.

 

[Daysleeper]

The intro actually is the most "oldschool" part for me, but its a little "thin" sounding. The mainlead however screams generic. Typical over-the-top factor b progression.

I mean alba, cre8 and thos old ones in the style is also quite formulaic with the typical standard modern uplfting start-break-middlepart-mainlead-outro, but somehow they carry more energy and momentum and feels very focused and cohesive. But lets be honest some of the 2004 tracks were somehow generic aswell, albeit a little less so.

I love how, when people give their opinion on a forum and that opinion is negative, the entire forum is either "toxic" or "cancer" - no one is ever allowed to write anything unless it's positive and you vomit rainbows

 

[Daysleeper]

Why dont they come here and start a discussion instead?

But I guess we cant be reasoned with ?

 

[Katadunkass]

It's always easier to stay on Facebook in their bubbles where everyone thinks the same and can get a couple of hearts/upvotes

 

[Julian Del Agranda]

No!! Facebook is cancer!!

Leave. Trancefix. Alone!!

This track is getting way too much promotion this way

 

[Elysium013]

I'm surprised TF hasn't been called ShillFix or HateFix or some other hateful name like that as is with people that complain about other sites on Facebook/Reddit/whatever lmao

Some absolute clowns on Facebook get way too emotional over and about little things, such as generic tracks, and generic tracks being labeled as such by others.

Other than its producers, I don't see why anyone else would get upset about opinions. Listen to whatever you like, it was made exactly for you and people alike.

This Christopher guy must be fun to hang out with. Differing opinion = absolute clown. What is even more sad is that the actual producer supports that stupid comment. Classy.

This track is shite by the way.

Yeah, the lack of consistency kills this type of tracks. What is it trying to accomplish? Is it supposed to be tech-trance? Uplifting? Trying to shoehorn both styles rarely works well, but that's what everyone does and that's what labels love.

The chords at 1:24 feel old-school, but the "pads" (or synth...) coming in at 1:53 feels too technical and empty. That's probably why it sounds thin to you. The old-school chords suggest that From Way Back is meant to be melodic, but the soundscape at 1:53 is more apt for a tech-trancer. I'm not a fan of that soundscape - it seems like something you would tack on a track instead of crafting it nicely, even if you're working with pre-sets.
I would say this track is poorly-executed. Its sections don't make sense, and it seems like the producer just threw together things that he thought sounded cool but ultimately feel disjointed.

 

[BS_BlackScout]

What a shitshow hahahahaha.
The track is disjointed as fuck, it doesn't take much to realize that.
But I guess it does take a monumental effort for Mr. Christopher to come in here and argue about why he thinks we're cancer or why we are wrong in the first place.

The most authentic sounding uplifter of the last few years (sounds like golden era of Anjunabeats) and you guys dont like it anyway. Sometimes I dont get it here. So what do you actaully want from the uplifting sub-genre? Seems like trancefix users only appreciate J00F and deep progressive stuff...

 

[Daysleeper]

Sometimes I dont get it here.

You just dont get it

 

[Archon]

trancefix users only appreciate J00F

Oof, you need to check the comments on the latest JOOF release then.

 

[Exodom]

You know what dudes I am liking this one. Nothing amazing but feels good to let go and embrace

 

[Daysleeper]

Track isnt really that bad....

I actually like everything about it except the mainlead itself, which is the absoulute weakest part. The outro is also cool. The emotion it conveys stays inbetween happy edm/ generic plucky style. Its just hiiden within a trancy pad/style. But just phatten up the synth without the pad,slow it a little and change rhythm and you have a typcial edm melody, Everything except that is just cool, it has balls. Alot of 2004-5 ish stuff had what others here called disjointed/techy builds transisiton into more uplifting stuff, although maybe not this extreme contrast this have. I mean just listen to the Nitrous Oxide stuff, the Aalto Stuff, the Altf4 stuff. They all have ballsy foundations. But they are a bit more seamless in their exectution + better mainleads.

F me, what an absolute bunch of Cope

 

[Gijs]

I think it's rather nice actually, the closest thing I've seen to an Into follow-up so far. The main synth is not that special in my opinion but it does its work just fine regardlessly.
Won't go into the facebook comments myself, that's a discussion I don't really want to be a part of to be honest.

 

[Jetflag]

yeah agree. its nice...okish. does the job for the most part.
