Thomas Feijk's debut release on Atmosphoria Records comes with a variety of similar mixes designed to suit all trance tastes.
Original Mix:
The original mix is the most mellow included in this package, and the production quality is top notch, which is particularly brilliant considering Thomas is only 19 years old. The song starts off quite haunting, but then quickly builds up before breaking down with the song's guitar sounds. This carries on for a bit then the main chorus is faded in to good effect, and a very good chorus it is. Not too hard, not too soft and very catchy. The song then slowly builds down to the finale, a guitar and piano medley which ends the song nicely.
Feijk Mix:
This version builds up much quicker than the original, and has a slightly dirtier bassline. The breakdown appears with the guitar riffs used to good effect again, before the chorus is brought straight in, almost out of nowhere. This continues without a bass change for a while, but when the chords do change it's well worth the wait. The song continues in a similar fashion to the original, climaxing with the guitar and piano again.
Steve Birch Remix:
This is the most uplifting in the package, and is my personal favourite. The whole song is very similar to the original, and from the start the injection of energy is clear. The guitars don't appear this time until the main breakdown of the song, but they are again used to build the mood very well. The main melody is then brought in, with a much more powerful synth this time and a nice kick pattern is used to bring the beats back. Additionally Steve has used an extra synth over the top of the main melody which fits very well and makes this an extremely good production.
Paulo Der Munoz:
Mix number four comes from our very own PDM, and is the most different of the four versions. Credit goes to him for this and he has used the chord progression to good effect, with a completely different synth to the other mixes. This mix would suit a more tech-trance edged set best.
Rating:
An excellent production, boosted by the other mixes included. Highly recommended.
8/10
