6:38, 140.0 BPM, Cm (5A)
Focused around a morphing bassline, and featuring majestic choral vocals reminiscent of 3rd Earth (but not quite as mindblowing
).
Original Mix: ()
After the initial mix-in, we get the first breakdown (0:55-1:22), which maintains a subtle deep thumping as the song's bassline is gradually introduced through an opening filter. This breakdown ends when the kick comes back in pretty hard, and the groove gradually builds up to give a taste of what's to come.
Just as the energy is building to a peak, the percussion cuts to just the kick. This second breakdown (2:03-3:22) is the big one in this track. Over its first few bars, all the instruments gradually fade out, with the single exception of an intimate mid-range synth effect playing in kind-of a heartbeat rhythm. Delicate choral vocals are softly introduced here, and finally even the "heartbeat" synth stops, leaving two breathtaking bars of nothing but the decaying echo of the choir's last note (2:45). Things build back up starting with some filtered percussion and the heavily-muted bassline returning to play its full melody for the first time. When the kick drum returns, the bassline is walking all over the place with its filter full-open, and the groove is soon banging again.
The choir vocals come back strong for the track's climax, with spine-tingling effect. \o/ There's one final breakdown (4:44-5:12) before the mix-out, featuring muted synths and the soft choir again. The beat during this breakdown is muted, but doesn't stop.
I like this track quite a lot. Armin played it in ASOT 275, but for some reason I didn't really notice it then. It's instrumentally fairly minimal overall, and I'd like to hear some remixes.
It's available at Beatport and iTunes, but I don't see it at Audiojelly or Juno.
