This mod could use a bit more bass. Otherwise, it's pretty good.

Upon first listening to this track, I though "Oh great, another run of the mill trance tune," but I was surprised at how this track grew on me more and more every time I heard it. The progressive nature of the track is well done, counteracting the speed involved. The result is a fast moving track with very fluid changes, and an easy to follow rhythm. Though it borders on repetition, this track is constantly adding new elements into the mix that follow the overall theme. As a result, the listener gets an experience above and beyond that of normal trance, with a little ambience thrown in, as well as the element of calmness. Definitely worth hearing. The percussion is standard trance-style, and is a little unbalanced through the track. Some of the samples are a bit weak as well. Despite these notions, the track is well written, and technically almost perfect. There is nothing that jumps out and steals attention, but rather adds to the overall feeling of the song.
