Star-X – Prepare To Fly

Com.Pact Records in Israel is releasing quite a lot, by well known acts and some new unknown artist. This is a fresh upcoming artist from Israel.

The first track starts nice and floating. A typical morning track with pleasant floating sounds and a nice groovy tempo. The floating parts come back several times between the rolling rhythms. Track two is made together with Visual Paradox. This one is a bit darker, but still in the same typical morning trance vibe. It also becomes pretty melodic and you even get some piano in there. Track 3 has some sort of scary floating sounds. It also has some trippy melodies, still typical Israeli morning trance. He has collaborated with Wrecked Machines on this one. Track 4 goes the same direction, but slightly more full on. These tracks is somewhere between progressive trance and full on. Then we get a break with track 5. This is a chill out track with a lot of female vocals. It might sound too cheesy to some, but it sounds pretty beautiful too. Very relaxing down tempo rhythms and melodic all the way.

Track 6 starts very relaxing too, but then we get thrown back into the morning trance groove again with rolling bass lines. A very floating and melodic track that builds up from slow relaxing vibes to pretty full on trance. This one is made together with Dynamic. Track 7 is made together with Atomic Pulse. This is the most full on and dark track so far on the album. Heavy stumpy rhythms and some dark, atmospheric sounds. Track 8 starts with some weird voice samples, before the full on rhythms comes back. This one has a really cool drift and trippy samples. My favourite track on this album. Track 9 goes about the same direction. Melodic full on in a progressive way. The last track on the album is more light, with a bit more uplifting melodies. Again, very floating and trancey.

This album consists of mostly melodic morning trance. Typical Israeli style all the way, of the kind we have got a lot of from Alien Project and other Com.pact releases, except here you get it in a bit lighter way. So, if you like melodic, floating morning trance, be sure to check this out.
