Skyform - Infinite [E-TCR]

00:30 - August 31, 2005

by Watts

Fresh from the legendary ATCR's digital division, this new track - 'Infinite' from Skyform - looks set to deliver the goods. Read on to find out just how much of a stir this track is set to cause...!

E-TCR's third release is from U.S. based producer Joseph Sorenson. Being on E-TCR, this means you'll only be able get it on CD or as a digital download direct from E-TCR.

This track was snapped up the day the E-TCR guys heard it and its quickly made its way onto the tracklistings of forthcoming albums from The Thrillseekers and Lange! This can only mean good things. Plus, with Canadian production talent Ron Bercovitch - aka Sunquest - throwing in some remix work, I assure you you're all in for a treat...

1) Infinite (Sunquest Remix)
Calm and subtle are the words to describe the beginning of the track. Simplicity in beats and percussion, plus a slow simmering bass synth slowly build up the mood. The bass erupts into something with much more body and depth and the sound you hear just makes you know that this is going to be a real belter. An awesome synth pad emerges so so gently from the background. It is a smooth, lush and emotional sound which wells up and gathers inside you. Beautiful is the only word for it. The breakdown is sparse with a gentle melodic element - an array of falling arpeggios. This gathers strength and combines wickedly with the bass when the track drops back in and flows effortlessly onwards.

The synthwork in this track is awesome. There are layers of super-subtle synths which combine together to form utterly uplifting and euphoric waves of sound. This is one of those perfect 'production meets remix artist' moments, without an ounce of uncertainty.

2) Infinite (Original Mix)
The Original Mix is more brisk with a punchier bass and crisper percussive hits. A strong, thick and distinctive bassline is also employed here to very good effect. The first part of this track is home to lots of ghostly bursts of synth which are atmospheric and very well placed. They gain in frequence and intensity and create a well paced build up sensation. Its all stop for the awesome breakdown. Remember that lush, emotional synth pad? Well it features heavily here in the original. Its stronger and thicker, but retains its fantastic pure sound. Arms in the air, head back, eyes closed, oh yes. The synth carries on playing its notes, keeping you in suspense until the track is filtered back in with a swooping whoosh and you're immersed in some ultra-trancey synths which soar above all else to make this one hell of an uplifting track. The main emphasis here is on the pads - the falling arpeggios are still there, just implanted subtly in the background. Fantastic, fantastic stuff!

3) Infinite (M.T. Chillout Mix)
The last track on this release is a chillout mix. You don't see many of these so its a nice change. Essentially, its what you'd expect from a chillout remix - long, deep synths and pads. Plenty of ambience and gentle, tinkling sound effects. There is an extremely chopped up and broken beat utilised, with big drum hits also employed. The final touches come from the extensive use of the lush pads to re-create that awesome smooth and flowing synth sound, slowly playing out the tracks chord progression. A really quiet and gentle repetition of the falling arpeggios make it in there too, completing this quality end to an utterly outstanding release.

Conclusion:
A simply superb release on E-TCR! Its impossible to choose between Sunquest's remix and the original, both sound immense. This is another fine example and demonstration of Trance Communication Release quality! Get this one now!
