Conspiracy Limited sees life once more, only this time we will bring you the highest quality, slightly more progressive trance that is circulating the scene at the moment.

Review:
Anton Firtich Rain - Over the Ocean (Original Mix)
As part of Neoblizz u might knew Anton Firtich already. After releases on Deepblue and Reflected he's not really a newcomer anymore!
This track is very well produced and certainly grabs your attention. A pretty nice build-up with a dreamy pad coming in slowly. Percussion is pretty poor though, too high and crispy sounding in my opinion. It won't bother u, but just a small thing i noticed listening. The main melody is very dreamy and really liking it! The title really suits the track. For the rest there is not happening a lot, but it's a very nice laidback trancer!
Anton Firtich Rain - Over the Ocean (Genix Remix)
Genix is a well known producer by now! Having releases under quality label like Monster Tune and Reset u expect this to be smashing. Unfortunatly i regret to say i really dislike the over-used bassline he added to this remix. Probably overdone a milion times by now. I know it's his style of producing, but a little change in your style won't hurt you. Really like the break in this track also. After the break he continues the same story with that bassline. A bit of shame in my books. Nothing for me unfortunatly.
Anton Firtich Rain - Over the Ocean (Vadim Zhukov)
Talented Russian Vadim Zhukov's turn to remix this track. Really liked previous tracks from this young producer. This one is certainly my favourite remix of the package. A nice rolling bassline sets a great drive to this one. Simple but effective percussion are finishing the job for him. A really nice build-up he created. Enough to keep listening to towards the break. Wow he used a great synth [probably vst] for the main melody! Quite massive to be said so! Enjoyable remix Vadim made here!!
Anton Firtich Rain - Over the Ocean (Cramp Remix)
Hmm never heard of the producer Cramp before! But seeing as he's got an upcoming release on Conspiracy again,, it was a success signing him. For this remix, it starts off really promising. A strong kick and bassline coming from your speakers are filled by some nice effects and percussion. A nice arpeggio is creating the main melody in the break. But just when my hopes were that high,, he probably lost his inspiration and continued with only the kick and bassline after the break! Why not adding the massive melody again? Such a pity.... listen to the samples and decide for yourself!
Conclusion:
In my opinion Conspiracy did release some better releases in the past. Not saying this one is absolutely gash, but just not feeling this one. The point is.. the original mix got a lovely dreamy melody and only Vadim Zhukov succeed in properly using it! So he definitely made the best remix there!
6.5/10
