Wicked production on this offering from Martez.  The atmosphere is second to none as far as im concerned. the production is pure unadulturated class act. sounds crystal.  this song deserves its high praise.

I gave the structure high marks, but not the highest as for the most part its the same song twice, with little added variety to the second half. but each half is put together very nicely.

performance couldnt be better.  he pulled out all the stops, with some very ear pleasing sounds. 

my favorite part is the synth work and the typical but effective bline.  id say there is a slight bit of over compression on the high ends here as they start to sound a little like sword effects on old bruce lee movies. 

If the main melody was harder, and not so pretty (and wonderful) i could easily use this at my dj sets.  still a download for me, incase i decide i have a more techno open dance party.  in america its a hit or miss with this kind of stuff, but for me i could sit and listen to all day.

the breakdowns are extremely effective, all too often you get massive breakdowns only to limp into the beat, will martez brings the beat with a huge sock to your emotional gut. A+ my brother. check out around the 3:52 section if you wanna see how a proper breakdown goes down.  and if it didnt break into the cheery happy synth this track would be a highlight of my set.  instead it will have to be a secret highlight, where i turn down the lights, lock my door put on the headphones and just enjoy.  personally love it.  im sure there is a global market for this, but here in america we do a lot of things backwords, and one of them is hate on good trance. and thats what this is.

 

very recommended.
