Pictures & Endorphine are taken from our current album Wide Range.
The brandnew Club Mix of Pictures has already been chosen by Above & Beyond as Track of the Week in their Trance around the World Show and was played by Armin van Buuren at ASOT and Kyau & Albert @ Trance Energy with amazing reactions by the crowd.
The Album Mix of  Pictures currently made it into the charts of  Markus Schulz.

Storm is a brandnew tech-trance track. We played it at RMI Trance Xplosion in front of thousands of people and caused a real storm.


Stoneface & Terminal returns with another smasher! After the succes of Soulseeker and Inner Voice this release is highly awaited! Will only review "Endorphine, Pictures Club & Album Mix and Storm (Club Mix) because i don't see why i should review radio edits tongue.gif

All samples made by me, and during 2:00 minutes.

Review:

Stoneface And Terminal - Endorphine(Original Mix)

Quite a club track this is! It wants to be a tech-trancer but misses those typical elements to be one. Not sure how to describe this track, It starts off as a more progressive trancer, than when the bassline drops [which is quite massive!] It turns out to be a smashing club track. The break typical reminds me of some other tracks which names i can't remember. This one will certainly be loved in clubs. Not really my cup of tea because i'm not really sure it's that original and fresh anymore. Still a great club track and or setfiller!

Stoneface And Terminal - Pictures(Album Extended)

Yes! This is a real beauty! No wonder this is hammered by Markus Schulz already! A strong progressive trancer with a great atmosphere caused by those warm strings, laidback percussion and vocal snippets. The break really is something u want to listen to with your eyes closed! Totally love this track. Think this track will get even more attention than the club mix which seems to be more "popular" already. Definitely a track to support and buy when it comes out!

Stoneface And Terminal - Pictures(Club Mix)

This track got fully support from the big jocks already! And is called an awaited "OMFG Ch00n" track on the discussion boards world wide! rolleyes.gif
I totally understand the hype around it. This one is besides Endorphine also based for in the clubs. Strong build-up with those little vocal snippets which u could heard also in the Album mix. But it's all about the climax of this one! That simple but effective melody makes u want to dance for sure smile.gif
Really strong track which certainly will gain a lot of respect as it deserves it.

Stoneface And Terminal - Storm(Club Mix)

At last the newcomer "Storm" which i didn't saw played by the big dj's. This track reminded me a lot of Dj Fire's [Jurgen Leyers] latest productions. I am talking about the pitch change in the bassline, which is really common for Dj Fire's work. Not really my favourite track from the package but really want to hear all of them in a club once.. and decide which is the most effective! The break of this track is in my opinion the best part! A beautiful pad with a melody close to "Moby's - Go." After that the climax is nothing more than the same bassline as the build-up. Always find that a bit dissapointing, because you already heard it, and want to hear something new right? Anyway certainly not a bad track! But i won't turn my hands into fire for it.

Conclusion

A very strong release with a lot of different tracks on it! The album mix of Pictures is really a must have! Will certainly support this release! Can't wait for the next Stoneface & Terminal release!

7.0/10
