Acolyte, The Feat. Amy* - Lost Without You / Make You Feel

Really quite a brilliant second release from Executive records, the definite home of Aussie Hardcore !!!

"Lost Without You" is an absolutely brilliant track. It is so well written, the arrangement of the progression before the breakdown is utterly amazing. It catches you, it entrances you, it slowly brings you and your body to the next level, with vocal bits here and there, progressive synth. Now the breakdown, the breakdown is the most beutiful thing ever. Very simple, just a soft piano with an interesting sound and the absolutely beutiful vocals, Amy's voice is perfect for this. Soon the synth carries and slowly reaches itself in.

The peak is energetic, uplifting, epic. It is really intense and beutiful, such an anthemic track, will get any crowd up going nuts. The track slowly progresses outwards. Really an amazing track, very, very good.


"Make You Feel" has a very nice intro, great percussion and a nice fx bit here and there, deep bass, sounds great at this point! Synth comes in, average, it's good, but it's lacking the feeling. Breakdown hits, interesting, not sure if i like the melody too much i'm afraid. Quite an energetic peak, but not comparable to "Lost Without You". Not quite a fantastic track, worth a play, it's still another work of art by The Acolyte.


This release is excellent, focusing on the A side, this is a top quality release. Purchase!

I just thought that it was worth mentioning...

"Lost without you" samples lyrics from the Christian hymn,

"Breathe" by Michael W. Smith

definitely an interesting approach to a happy hardcore song

I don't particularly like the song itself as it's missing lyrics from the original which i believe would make it better, but it's still a great piece of work overall.

The other lyrics in the original would make it a dead give-away that it's a hymn, so i understand why they weren't included.
