Nostrum & FK - Night In Motion [Maximal Recordings]

17:52 - January 19, 2006

by Dreej

Two trance producers hailing from Germany bring us a new release on Tillmann Uhrmacher's own imprint. Including a remix by Normen Paris, let's find out if this track can do any damage...

Nostrum & FK are actually Bernd Augustinski and Frank Künne. Their most recent collaboration was Nostrum & Frank Künne 'Falling', which also got the i:Vibes review treatment right here.
This is the fifth release on Tillmann Uhrmacher's Maximal label, which has been named after the radioshow that he has been hosting every week since 1990 (!) on Sunshine Live.

A-side: Club Mix
Right from the start, this tune will immediately grab your attention because of the extensive yet beautiful intro. It's a lush, calm combination of subtle piano strokes, panning effects and a great amount of well crafted strings, ready to create a good bit of goosebumps. Percussion swings its way inside the tracks structure when the intro is over. Quite in contrast with the beauty of the first part of the track, we get treated by a rather harsh combination of weird distorted FX, deep, grinding basslines and eerie yet driving backing elements. The bassline smoothly enhances itself to become an even meaner experience, but this is soon to be washed away by the return of parts from the intro during the break. The cool thing here is that one of the main riffs from the build comes back, but this time serving as a tension building thingie in order to give the climax the opportunity to bang away with strength. I think the beauty of all the strings and piano's could have served as a prelude to a better melodic experience in this track, but unfortunately that's not what has been done.
Rating: 7/10

B-side: NP's Harmonize Mix
Normen Flaskamp provides us this remix under his NP guise. It's more of a pure uplifter, lacking the intro parts from the remix. The build is of a standard form, combining rather simple percussional elements with a deep & rolling b-line to keep things going. Slowly evolving into something bigger, this bassline soon starts making friends with a vast amount of elevating lil' trancy riffs and a slight amount of soft string parts. While the whole track's structure doesn't really stand out from your usual trancer, it does incorporate this lead riff that builds itself out to monstruous heights during the break. It has a slightly emotive vibe glowing out of it, and definitely knows how to keep you nailed to the dancefloor by constantly powering up. The climatic part does what it has to do, combining the good melodies with the standard yet not too memorable percussion.
Rating: 7/10

Conclusion:
I wasn't really able to find any similarities between the two mixes, but I can say that I think a combination of the two mixes would have resulted in a much better tune. The intro from the Club Mix sounds superb, but it's just a shame that it isn't being combined with a full-on accompanying melody. It instead tries to rely on the power of the percussion and bassline, which works out nicely as well but isn't the maximum that could have been gotten out of this. NP's mix dóes have a good riff, but fails to impress with its overall structure. Overall an OK release which is worth checking out if you want to trance yourself up a bit.
