I'm unsure how to review this in a different way, but this is one of the very few releases which I can instantly say is one of my all-time favourites.
The styles present in each mix here do differ in quite impressive ways although Markus-L's version leans more towards the sound of the Cosmicman Mix. What I thought Markus-L did an exceptional job with was the ending. If you were to listen to both the Cosmicman and Markus-L mixes, you'd immediately spot the similarities in style, but what Markus-L saw was the potential of extending the ambience of Cosmicman's outro to the song.
P.H.A.T.T.'s remix is an impressive take on the original, moving the style into the zone for harder trancers. I'd definately say that if there were to be any Hard Trance remixes of "Krystal Dreams", he should definately be the man for the job.
Well, what an awesome release! And with a mix package like that, the label defaintely promises some Monster Tunes!

'Krystal Dreams' is the perfect encapsulation of the Matti Laamanen sound, a high energy production with an abundance of melodic delights throughout. The Markus-L Remix is arguably the stronger of the two 'orthodox' trance mixes on the CDr, whilst the P.H.A.T.T. Remix gives the production a massive injection of pace and power whilst impressively ensuring that the distinctive melodies are not lost in the heavier soundscape. A superb all-round package.

This is a typical uplifting track.
Cosmicmans Remix, with its break and "fluffy" sounds in the lead, is a little softer than the Marcus L Remix.
Markus Ls remix contains some very catchy uplifting synths, also between the maintheme, which you will keep in good memory!
A very solid production especially for summer and for good spirits :)

The track reminds me very much of the sort of trance production that was taking place in the 1998-1999 era, having a very dutch feel. Akin to 98-99 artist releases from the likes of Ferry Corsten, Armin and Tiesto; "Moogwai - Viola" immediately springs to mind.
Repsect to Matti for contributing such excellent work into the trance arena.
