Nickelson - Yin [Fundamental]

21:27 - July 1, 2004

by Dreej

'Yin' must be one of the most talked about tracks of the past half year. Every big DJ has been playing it from the one-sided promo, which contained the original samples of a Hans Zimmer piece from the movie 'The Last Samurai'. A second, altered vinyl has made the shops now, including a brand new remix by Geert Huinink and Alco Lammers aka Photon Project...

Artist: Nickelson
Title: Yin
Labelcode: NIC001R, Fundamental
Releasedate: June, 2004

The 'original' Solid Globe remix has created quite alot of hype in the trancescene, being one of Armin van Buuren's favourites for a long time. The track's break contained samples from Hans Zimmers, but the label hasn't been able to clear them, so that's why the melodies on this vinyl sound just a little different...

A-side: Solid Globe Mix
Let's stop bragging about the non-cleared samples and just review the track..
The beginning of this mix consists of a fade-in of some high strings, playing a rather emotional, somewhat fast melody. This soon gets accompanied by a nice kickdrum and some more percussional sounds. The trademark Solid Globe bongo-sound is here again as well; they've used it in both North Pole and Sahara, and it seems like they were kind of fond of it because it's here in all its fullness once again. The track builds and builds itself by adding a wagonload of FX, whirly sounds, synths and a whole bunch of other coolness. A small portion of strings enters just before the start of the first break in the song.. The percussion is thrown away immediately, making place for the melody we heard at the start of the track as well. (OK, sorry, I have to brag on a bit more: the melody doesn't sound thát much different from the original one, apart from a few chords changes here and there. It's still rather recognisable, in my opinion). Where were we: the strings melody goes on for a while, making friends with the kickdrum and a big snareroll to introduce is to something that you would normally describe as the 'climax'; this track is just a little different because it has this certain flow in it, a real climax doesn't appear, the track just proceeds with all the elements in this kind of imperceptible way, very well done! A second build-up has been implemented as well, with a somewhat shorter version of the break, ensuring more enjoyment for the people who really can't get anough of this mix.

B-side: Photon Project Mix
I think Photon Project doesn't need a real introduction anymore: Geert van Huinink and Alco Lammers have definitely proven themselves with their other productions and remixes. It is immediately hearable that the guys have made this a real trance affair: a good kick, some rapid percussion and a driving bassline are the elements that serve as the first part of the track. A lot of varying synthlines get added along the way, with one being the most notable one; a fast-paced, rather high line, creating a very full and energetic vibe throughout this build-up towards the break. This first part of this break is similar to the part in the Solid Globe Mix, with the melody and all. The BIG difference is that Geert and Alco have put in this amazing, super-energetic melody right after it, that would certainly cause frenzy among the thousands of tranceheads out there! The melody also keeps the emotion in it perfectly; non of the goodness of the melody gets lost. The swift bassline and percussion suit the melody very well, inducing a bit of a vibe that we've heard before in that immense Photon Project of Andain - 'Beautiful Things'.
In line with the Solid Globe Mix, this one also features a second build-up and climax: the melody returns one more time, and after that the final build-down appears, exiting the track with a soft delayed sound...

Conclusion:
Both mixes of 'Yin' are very enjoyable! The Solid Globe Mix does it all with its more chilled, relaxing atmosphere, while the Photon Project interpretation is the more energetic one. Two quality mixes on one vinyl, so be sure this pick this up!
