Well i have no idea who is behind this project, minddrive, but definitly he/they've done a great job with this release, and surely its going to gain great support from big djs
The original mix kicks off with a pumpy beat, wrapped with percussions, a nicely reverbed clap and a solid appregated bassline. It continues building up adding some lead synths, till it reaches the breakdown, where hell breaks loose: A massive anthemic melody takes form, which initiates the euphoric journey, and which will keep ur hands up in the air for the rest of the tune ... a true trance anthem
Van Eyeden & Creepers Remix modifies the original into a lighter and yet more uplifting version. The main melody here seems like a crying synth, so beautiful and touching (specially between min 2:52->3:17), that if the main original mix kept your hands up in the air, this will keep ur eyes closed as well. Definitly, this one's my prefered mix of this release, which I can't stop listening to it over and over again.
