Free Music Notes for Progression
Free Music Review: Mature, Simplier
Hit: 5 Stars
Labeling this album progressive trance would be really bias, maybe misinterprated, considering Markus' now well known reputation as a disc jockey. As a producer, he's much more than that. I would be insulting his game by calling this just another 'trance' album. Whatever. This is a piece of music that's emotional, multifarious and most of all, mature.
If you ever compare his styles as a DJ and as a producer, you'll notice certain subtle differences between his music. If you've tuned in to his radio show Global DJ Broadcast the past year and more recently his sets on Ibiza Summer Sessions, his distinct sound is still dark, yes, still very diverse, still emotional, but this album truly emcompasses something elementary, a simplier style with straightforward beats combined with sound-piercing bass, to which I think will force a new wave of producers to look back and say, let's get back to the basics to where this type of music got embraced in the first place.
It seems like every track featured here takes you somewhere out there, whether i'd be a nostalgic feel to a place or just remembering a time where you felt a connection to something or someone. Much of the credit of making this album emotional is the collaboration with Mike Targanski, or you know him better as Elevation. He did five tracks that really caught me eye, now considering if you've listen to their other collaborations of 'Severance', the breakout 'Clear Blue', the successful 'Your Loving Arms' etc., it was much more unique and club driven. It's now compressed, slower, progressed better for a mature audience, I think. 'Spilled Cranberries' reminded me a time where I drove across through Europe in a cold, harsh winter. Yeah, that was fun.. I almost cried first hearing 'On A Wave', reminded me of a lost loved not too long ago. The vocals by Anita Kelsey pretty much killed me. Simply emotionally visceral. 'Lost Cause' is another one that impressed me, couldn't really tell what Carrie Skipper was saying half the time, but I'm starting to love the track. 'Let It Go' and 'Is This The End' encompasses the feel of his live Coldharbour sets. Hard and emotionally electrifying.
The first introduction track 'I Am' eerily remided me of what he did to 'Clear Blue', a restricted, shorter version of the what the radio version is, nothing more. 'Perfect' is so cheesy, but I'm beginning to love it! Reminded me of the late 1990s vocal club singles a while ago. 'Cause You Know', the beats are so mild, nothing special, but I love the 80s house or 'robot' vocals of Departure, very classy and yet, so futuristic. 'Fly To Colors', is the quintessential Coldharbour sound and if you've ever listened to it with loud speakers, be prepared for something earmarked.
Just to clarify something. Markus Schulz has ALWAYS done vocals, for a long, long time. The original production of 'You Won't See Me Cry', for an example, which was released, what, eight years ago? Or his remixes of 'Do What You Do' or 'Stand', his recent mashups of 'Perspective Space' or 'Falling Moan', etc.. So don't be suprised if you've never heard 'Without You Near' or this album in particular expecting something else.
All in all, if you like Markus Schulz as a producer, come to expect the usual, except this time, it's like I said, for the older audience. Now, if you expect something pulsating and darkly fun, go see him live or tune in to Global DJ, whichever way, DJ or producer, you're gonna hear something special that you'll never forget.
Keepin' my fingers crossed for Phoenix 08' or maybe Berlin 08'!
