Whoa! How'd i miss this? This is some cool trance-like music! Cool arpeggios and synths. Bassline is ok but nothing special. The atmosphere is what i like most. harding's voice is quite complimentary and adds interest to the track. The percussion totally rox! Nice job guys!

Good job! The effects you used are massive, especially the dolfin imitation is topnotch! In my opinion the dark vocal breaks down the rythm and uptempo of the track.

Well, it sounds very pro, but that's nothing new. So, just 10. :)

I'm getting so inspired just by listening to that fat beat. Nice arpeggios and a powerful bassline. The background synths around the beat is a wonderful collection of sweet sounds that fills up the missing bits and adds further energy to the track. Breakdown is really loud, maybe too loud, pads should perhaps go down a bit more to enhance the effect of a breakdown. When the mainlead comes in I'm not that thrilled unfortunately, I think you could work on that build up to raise the tension even more! I like the gated vocal sound and Hardings voice is nice too, maybe a little too bassy to stand out in the mix, especially with the bassline and kick working against it. Whale calls are nice, but seams rather weird for this tune. I'm still waiting for a melody-based trance collab from you guys. Great work and effort with this track, will work on the dancefloor for sure.

Very impressed guys! This is too good for RS. And very hard to rate since you really don't know what to refer to. Refering to other RS-songs this is a very fat 10. But I'll give this a 9, and that is comparing with every other tune out there. This is really my cup of tea. Quality is as good as it gets. The lead is just WOW. Reminds me of Octagen's "Alaska", one of my favourite tunes! Not much to complain about else. This is a 9 in the real world = 10 on RS :D:D:D / TM

A bit i must agree with lunacy. I heard such music ca five years ago. Since then my music taste developed to some other directions, because such trance can be become to fast to boring in my ears. Don´t understand me wrong. Ur tune is well produced, absoultly top, -"digi-qualitiy". A (typical) good arrangement, with some nice (typical) sounds for that style.
Thats all my own opinion and here are many reasoners who love this sound and its ok, but it isn´t mine more.
I think a no rating is fair. Cheers:-)

on one hand i can understand the high ratings cause of the good sound... on the other i really wonder why people still like this kind of boring trance. perhaps its cause i personally dislike this sound perhaps its cause i am swiss and all our clubs played this sound in 2000 perhaps its just like i dont feel a thing listening to it... well... i really dont want to give you bad rating so i give you no rating... but i would wonder how it would sound like when you guys go for classy house music... deep and sexy... but i guess you do prefer commercial music ;-) sarcastic lunacy

Okay, I hate the vocal although it's beautifully processed, it's just that vocals are not to my taste, sounds like Barry White in a Las Vegas club. Anyway, the track is well produced, and it sounds very good. I think this style is more like commercial trance and could have releasable potential in that area (although it's not my cup of tea so I could be wrong). I'm kind of split on this track since it sounds fresh and old at the same time at least for the style. Technically and musically it's all good.

i also love that intro, the panned voices also set in very nicely.
not my preferred style of music i like to listen to right now, but its very powerful and very well done. (didnt expect anything else when the masters are at work, of course)
interesting to hear greg's voice :D
you have a very good mix and the sounds are placed in a good way.
a very well produced track once again!! cheers to both of you

very nice track. love the pitched down sample of your voice. Hummmmmm. sonic flavors, nice and powerful tool. i am using it in my last productions as well.

Atmospheric intro/middle/outro, great pitch down with voice, nice mastering (all the frequencies play, the only thing is the balance "low-mid-hi" that goes more to middle-low and less to high), great work, nevertheless.

I like the idea behind the music and the sounds you used to conjure up certain emotions...very beautiful music.

However.....

It is not so original and as experiemental as i like..it actually sounds like many tunes i have heard before...

and...im not a fan of the vocals...

Not to take anything away from how good it is...it really deserves the highest rating..

i'm more into psy than progressive but this project is interesting. i like the sound most. i watched discoverychannel many times and love those kind of movies, this track s a very fine replacement :) sweet walesss
yeah, everything seems to be in right place, lovely harmony in soundscapes, really rocks!!
If a minor has to be said it would be the repetitive quartter breaks in the "chorus', on every last count........more words than mention, so extremely well done, why not make EP ?
Did i notice well about being this is a dutch production?? :D

The Intro is cool, a bit dark & mystrious.Great drum work, nice ambiance.The melodies are cool, the bass is marvelous.Nice breakdown...The lead is building up, now the snare, back on beat...

It's very cool for mainstream progressive trance.Nice vocals, Wim & Harding.I liked the SFX too.

Lose the overly redundant, foolish vocals. If there was any credibility left in the genre, it's the way to rip it to pieces. Other than that definitely one of the better trance tracks here on the station.

12 December 2005, 09:47

Excellent job! The only thing I didnt like is the redundance of the voice about the sea but it gets the point across. This is really cool though and a great musical collaboration. Trance is a style I would like to try on reason but it isnt my fav. style of music though. Love the work and I could see this definitely being played in a club.

Hello, guys! The intro is cool, i like it. The drums are perfect. Very atmospheric trance tune. Amazing quality and production, but i don't like the main synth, nothing special in it. The voice samples in the beginning are cool, but then...Overall track is great, very like the energy atmosphere in this work. Cool, but need some more work on synth production. Respect.

Hello ! great solid production, you two !
This is something for the dance floors. Good drums and some nice instruments in there.
Okay, I especially enjoyed the part from 2:23 till 2:50 (this has a slight pschedelic-feel to me)and I would have prefered to listen it more times.
Some parts sound a bit too typical "clean" trance-ish.
Whatever, I could imagine this to be a good track on a compilation. Powerful Collaboration

well .. yes .. great production. Some nice synths also. Some nice elements... dont like the vocal, hehe but well ...that's I guess a matter of taste. Would rather hear a female voice sing insted.
This track I find charming with some very tasty synths. But I find it very minimal in the musical issues. This kinda trance genre I'm not really into. Sounds like a trance track that every trance freeq would love, but really I feal like I have heard this before. But the quality is great, some synth are absaloutly awsame. But this dosent take my breath away. :) Nice jobn though
