Algarve - The Longest Journey

[crow]

Ludvig Holm, aka Algarve, is back with another release that focuses on 2 sides of EDM: Trance and Progressive (or lower BPM EDM).

Original mix [9:00]
Kicks off with a very dark bassline whilst building up the kicks from soft ones to banging hard ones. The track is at its progressive trance range in terms of BPM. Very clubbish tho and would make a very good intro. The breakdown has so many trance influences that it caught me off guard and confused me with whether the track was actually trance or prog. Really good work on the original!

Alex M.O.R.P.H. remix [8:44]
MORPH man is on fire! On fire I tell ya! His remix is very groovy and banging. Though the sounds used are different, but his signature sounds still exist within his work. Excellente!!!!!!

Heller & Enkie remix [7:24]
Those 2 guys must have worked hard on this remix! I'm not good with house music but I recon this is electro house. The duo substituted the synths and used instruments instead, therefore you can hear pianos and strings all over the remix. Great work! This gets my groove approve!

Algarve's 2007 remix [8:35]
Holm turns 180 degrees from the original's style to his 2007 remix. Again, this is a house remix and it's very well built in order to keep its original elements and melodies in addition to a personal favourite synth that is used by many artists such as Ferry Corsten, Breakfast...etc. Amazing rework! Algarve made sure to not disappoint his fans!

Amen to the comment about uplifting trance Dio! Most of it sux balls!
Umm about the progressive part, I wasn't really referring to it as a sub-genre on its own but simply a way of describing what to expect u know? Sorry if it did sound that way =]
