Kan Cold vs. Frank Ellrich - Theme of Pharmacy / Transmission

"Theme Of Pharmacy" produced by Kan Cold is exactly that what you expect when you buy this record and know other Kan Cold productions like "Tracid vs. Kan Cold" from the "Tracid Traxxx EP Vol. 1" or the Kan Cold Remix of Kai Tracid's "Conscious". It's an exciting hardtrance track containing a nice fast melody and the well known "Shaver Bass". It's nothing new but a proved concept that works... ;)

"Transmission" is more interesting. The bass is new, the pitched congas make you smile about the wealth of ideas and the choir gives the tune a touch of monumental film music. But even the boombastic lead in can't compensate the boring melody. When you hear the first bar you expect the most exciting hardtrance melody ever... But soon you will recognize that there is only this bar. It's a pitty about the potential, because the rest of the track is very well produced.

Five points for "Theme Of Pharmacy" and four points for "Transmission". I rounded up. ;)

This track is an unbelivable body mover. Starting off with a nice kick and bass then to a sudden stop. Then a catchy melody with a high pitched tweaked tom sound with a deep voice "trans (pause) mission", then kickin' it in again with the catchy melody. That part goes on for around 50 secs then it stops for the real buildup. Slowly strings come in, one of the best stringed melodies i've heard (a minor sounding melody), then transmission is said again (pause) then a stutter kickin to an unbelievable sound making you move. The only thing I can say that I don't like about the track is that the main melody doesn't last long (so make the most of it). :)
