Classic Trance I

The thing that appeals is that, at first hearing that the concentration is on decent percussion and rhythm against the contrapuntal classic slide, instead of having some reasonable classic music and throwing in a dull boom-boom. Actually quite nice listening. There is almost a Gaelic sound to the string section. Trackwise, I would have stuck with one or the other, the extended version not revealing anything other than being longer. If it was distinctly different I could see the point. Piano Style again, is ambiguous in intentionality. The piano was at the forefront of the track anyway and this is just losing points the longer it is protracted. Then, suddenly there is a change in atmosphere with Pianistica, much nicer as a track than the previous three to be perfectly honest. Much more interesting, a better start, and a more adventurous structure and rhythm. The layers that are added are what the extended version needed. However, there is a curious change to the whole tempo with some seemingly random voice samples. Not sure what the point was with that. Comparatively, I think I will end up marking this chiefly for this last track, and that is spoilt with the unnecessary voice bytes, they don't integrate or add anything viable. So, overall it comes out as pretty dull unfortunately. The last track, without the voices would have scored a 7 but it drops one I'm afraid. If I was to proffer advice from a listeners point of view, concentrate on the instrumentality of the last track and focus on that.
