1999 - S-Trance (1999.xm)

The intro is a little too long which can cause loss of interest considering the type of track this is. At 4:42, just about right with plenty of interesting and varied movements. One feature is the seamless movement between harshness and mildness throughout the piece, giving a good stomping feel with a little respite between times. Would this be played at the 1999 parties... I don't know, but nice idea. Very good use of the many samples included in this track. Some are very short but still worked well within the scope of the piece. Very good use of panning across speakers, giving a lot of depth to the already quite technically oriented instrumentation. Good varied cross section of sounds which are well worked into the track.
