That mysterious Tiesto-played track from Ibiza last summer finally sees a release from its creator Johan Gielen who has just signed to Black Hole! I got this on promo from TunesForYou, but it's due for a retail release on Blackhole in the coming weeks.
Fantastic male vocals and great trancy breakdowns, but the biggest surprise of all: tech-headed Johan Gielen producing Progressive Trance! And it actually sounds good! Way to go for someone shifting (temporarily?) from harder-edged Trance to something proggier for the first time, which asserts that Johan's production skills extend beyond his usual sound; heck, even the title suggests something techy!
But he goes on pitching the tempo up a notch with the Unbreakable Overdrive Vision, holding on to his precious vocals and offering quite the innovative techy melody whilst preserving the progressive ambiance of the original! A very fine job indeed!
The final Akatishia remix was a bit too dark'n'tribal for me, but would work great on a late night warm-up session, so I guess it's all about Johan for this one... can't wait to spend my pocket money on the legit Black Hole release!

Amazing release.. been waiting for since 2005 when Tiesto dropped it... Didn't Gielen use Ijojs as an aliar for this track and then decided to use his real name??

It has been a while that I didnt hear a track for Svenson & Gielen together. Does someone knows if a track has been released lately or going to be released?

Nothing special for me in this release i don't really like johan music but in colaboration with svenson 'svenson & gielen) he makes better production than this one
