This is a great, well-paced piece of music, with a great sound created from the very beginning. The bongo drums used throughout the song give the beat a little syncopation; a little more interest, which is needed in a trance song. This just gets better as the song goes along with some great acid samples, and vocals which give the song it's trancey feel. Perhaps a few more ideas could have been put into this, it feels as though the piece creates a theme and then doesn't explore it to its full potential. This has some very good parts to it, and nothing bad about it, but the good parts could have been extended. Very good, overall though. Technically, this is also very good. Some of the parts that sound as though they may perhaps be a loop, such as the bongo drums, are simply created in such a way that they mix together very well. And the blend as a whole in this piece is very good, with the sample volumes just right, and the panning excellently designed to create some nice surround and 3D effects. Good use of IT's resonance filters in the acid part helps cut down the number of acid samples required. Overall, very nicely created.
