Haak's latest track under the new Annunaki guise has been floating around for a while now. It bears the ASOT logo, but just how good is it...?
:: Haak Pres. Annunaki - Frenzy
:: A State Of Trance
:: ASOT029
A: Frenzy (Original Mix)
The intro consists of a weird industrially ambient soundscape but soon kicks off with a snappy kick and a deep and probing bassline which acts as a solid foundation. Here, we hit very progressive form with a slow evolution of sounds - subtle synths rise gently and there are sprinkles of weird sounding sfx. A catchy hook is employed during and after the ambient breakdown, creating a synth heavy atmosphere with everything being contained and moved on by the thick bassline. Not much variation from this point on, but theres something about this track - the synths, bass, the progression maybe, its hard to put a finger on it - that makes it more-ish and quite enjoyable. Definitely one you'll find near the beginning of good trance sets.
B1: Frenzy (MK-S Remix)
The rising star of the production world, MK-S, steps up for a remix here in his dark and dreamy sound. The trademark titillating jitters of synth and deep, ambient bass are employed here. The main hook is introduced early on, yet is held back so there is something to move on to later. This happens during the fairly long breakdown and when the track kicks back in you're treated with a truly synth-soaked blend of trancey sounds. Wonderful to listen to, as are all of MK-S' productions.
B2: Frenzy (George Hales Remix)
George Hales' interpretation of 'Frenzy' is darker and tougher than the others. The track is driven by a deep, ominous bass and brisk percussion. A tight sounding synth carries the hook on into the breakdown, after which deep and grizzly trance synths take over and really stir things up. This track, however, is incredibly short and finds its way to the end far too quickly in my opinion.
Conclusion:
A great record indeed! The original is highly progressive but is nice and pleasing to the ears. MK-S puts in some classy work for a darker, trancier trip and George Hales transforms 'Frenzy' into a tough, driving affair - probably the only one of the three that actually suits the name 'Frenzy'!
