Out of nowhere comes a new release by that mysterious project which also brought us the überclassics 'Anglia' and 'Obscura' back in the days. Featured on this discs are two clubby techy tracks supported by the likes of Paul van Dyk, Tiësto and Judge Jules, so head in for a full review.
Both 'Anglia' (originally released in '99) and 'Obscura' (released in 2001) were pure floorfilling clubtrancers filled with infectious hooks and massive floorfilling potential. 2002 saw the release of Out of Grace's '140 BPM', a tune which leaned more towards a combination of hardtrance and hardstyle. Some four years later, the project spontaneously returns to the dancefloors with 'Mindblast' and 'Mana Burn'. Time to check them out.
A-side: Mindblast The essence of this track is built using an inventive combination of slick, continously stabbing slices of techy synth, a very unusual structure and a deep, grinding bassline that grooves along with the main riff. The whole thing builds itself up in no-time, introducing arrays of stabbing, moody rhytms along its way, constantly evolving and creating a seriously clubby sensation. You'll most probably notice that this is exactly what it was meant to be: a definite floorfiller. Subtle breaks implementing calm, soothing melodies take care of the creation of a thick, tension-building contrast, amplified to the max using massive sfx on that catchy main hook, just for it to bang on again during the tune's climaxes. This is quite the hefty combination of trance, tech and club!
B-side: Mana Burn This one goes on in a bit of the same tradition as 'Mindblast' using them clubby elements, but on the other hand of course does have its own unique approach. Simple, oldschool sounding percussional rhythms are being driven onwards by a superbly rapid, driving bassline, which soon gets accompanied by crunchy distorted synth chords. The cool thing here is that every now and then an intermezzo-hook starts buzzing around a bit, just for the bassline, groovy percussion and synth arrays to return afterwards. This is exactly what's being done during the rest of the track, in a way that does retain a lot of the original funk by teasing around with various combinations of the earlier mentioned elements. While hard to describe, this is definitely another 'lift-that-roof-off' tune that will work like a charm on any dancefloor using its great drive and well thought out climatic parts.
Conclusion:
Out of Grace showcases their ability to produce something completely different than usual. My pick of the two is the B-side, just because it's just a bit more driving. The two tunes on offer here both have this trancy, clubby tech-approach coming with them, making the both of them floorfillers that can be played in a wide variety of sets. Wicked!
