B4 ~ Before & After \ Onde

[DIONYSOS]

What an intro! I always loved the way some Trance tracks start, a couple of minutes before the first beat drops in... THis one starts off with some minor beat elements, then a soft melody is added, and finally one hell of a bassline! Then the first beat drops after about two and a half minutes, which makes sense considering it's and 11-minute track. Progressive sounds appear from the very beginning, preparing us for Airwave's latest release under his new alias: B4. The beat fades away in a very creative way, and the warm pads are introduced: typical Airwave stuff. Don't expect any major buildup or any uplifting melodies, just pure dreamy progressive sounds that are bound to make you dream of heaven. The way Progressive Trance should be.

On the flipside is another proggy entitled Onde. No magical intro in this baby, but rather a very dark beat & bass accompanied with a deep melody, a bit on the house side... but then the breakdown arrives and the journey into Trance begins! Another progressive monster from the progressive monster himself Airwave. This vinyl is surely worth buying for it truly represents how the Progressive Trance sound should be.
