This has been around since about 2000, I think, so why it took so long to get released I don't know. Worth waiting for though, as the man Ashley Casselle creates something quite magical. The way he layers all manner of different sounds upon each other makes a wonderful, swirling, ethereal sound. Normally a tune of this sort would be a lot more upfront and in your face, but he's made it a lot more laid back, something to really sweep you away to some magical place in your head. This is what trance should be.
The Ogenki Clinic mix is quite wonderful too (well, it would be, wouldn't it?). Unlike the original, this uses a 4/4 beat, and takes a somewhat deeper route. Whereas the original is highly uplifting, this is a bit darker. I suppose this is uplifting in it's own way, but the way Holden and Morris have messed about with the lead synth line gives this mix a very spooky quality. Quite different, but well worth checking.
4.5/5 (
