Gareth Emery & Jon O'Bir ~ Escapade
Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2004 12:50 pmGareth Emery & Jon O'Bir ~ Escapade [Original Mix]
Gareth Emery a.k.a. GTR is back with a new release, this time in a collaboration with Jon O'Bir, whose name sounds very familiar yet I cannot seem to remember just what tracks he is behind (so if anyone got any idea please share). Escapade is the name, Progressive Trance is the game. Starts off with a pumping beat and a driving bassline, with some minor psychedelic effects here and there. When the bassline shifts from monotonous to variant, you could already anticipate the scope of the melody to come. At 2:21 arrives the breakdown: beeping sounds, phat strings, some minimal percussion, and after a slight silence the beat is re-dropped alongside the strings, followed by those beeping sounds, giving a "PPK ~ Resurrection" feel to the track. A second breakdown is later on introduced at the 5 minute mark, but with no real addition to what was previously heard in the track. Good work from GTR, but not as great as his previouses ('Reason To Believe' for instance).
Gareth Emery & Jon O'Bir ~ Escapade [Cern Remix]
We had very recently heard Cern's mighty remix of Astura's "Orion's Belt". This remix starts off with a solid beat and a rather annoying intervaless bassline, yet more promising than the Original Mix intro. After three and a half minutes, the beat is muted and the melody is thrown in, this time in the form of an uplifting stormer! Total hands in the air material! The dreamy strings heard in the Original Mix are here morphed into powerful uplifting synth keys that leave you jumping in your seat! Great stuff from Cern, surely beats the A-side.
