Review by Iceferno Sep 05, 2009
My favourite producer in the Trance genre! His style is what's missing from most of modern-day Trance. I've seen the majority of it get very generic, which I hate. But you're safe with AP. He has a great sound which reminds me of a time when Trance was at it's best. Around the 2002/03 (and maybe '04) period. Not only that, but it's also his blissful melodies and sounds he uses.

The first thing I heard from him was "Feel Alive (Club Mix)", and this was only a few months ago. It blew me away. I was thinking "Yes! THIS is what Trance should be." So, naturally, I checked out his other works. He has an amazing back-catalogue, most of which is available legally for free, if you look in the right places. His songs on the MyOwnMusic website are really nice too. I recommend "Walking Away", "Skyscraper" and "Down To Earth".

He's also been a little involved in the Ambient genre. His collaborations with Coffee-Shop and Zilent Zpott have resulted in some of the nicest and most relaxing songs. "Sunday Silence" (with Coffee-Shop) is definitive Chillout listening.

So, yeah. Check this guy out! He may not be well-known, but he most certainly has as much talent as, say, Above & Beyond. Maybe more!
