Hey DaMann

Firstly have to agree with the others on the intro, brilliant, again I had to checkthat it was playing as there was a big silent part at beginning, (not sure if I totally liked that part) but when it started I thought wow this is nice, so love the piano, I for one love using piano in trance piece's, dont hear to many with it, so is very nice to come across one that uses them and uses piano very well within the mix, nice beat and bassline, sweet synths/pads, also very good use of FX, very enjoyable and uplifting piece, well done, into fav's for me...Peace n Respect...Estefano...

The build up through this piece is truly amazing, and there were moments I remembered owning Psychic TV's "Toward Thee Infinite Beat," but only moments as this one has a spirit of its own. This is the kind of "trance" I really like, but I think it's because you're not attached to the rules. You bend or break them to serve the music instead. Sweet track.

Thanks, I made this a while ago production wise, I have since moved more towards the UK Hardcore/Freeform scene and honed my production skills. Though once I can get some time I will definitly make more classic sounding trance tracks, such as you would hear in Tiesto in Search of Sunrise Vol. 1. Thanks for the kind review!

Very good intro....in fact I'll just hang on that for a while...a lot of people completely miss the importance of a good intro..it's like a running race..it's imperative to have a clean start.
I'll say this Curtis,your tracks are really gathering momentum and scope,their getting better and better and that's not a bad reflection on your past work...there's nothing better than experiencing an Artist hone his craft..this is a great production from all angles..with excellent drumming,pads and synth lines....it's the full package..professional work! cheers Dave :)

Ok, I went and listened to most if not all of your tracks and the progression is amazing. You are making some SICK Trance tracks now compared to talking about Buritos. "Counter Reality" is off da HOOK!!! Great growth in a very short period of time. Now I see why you are DaMann.

Super lite intro. Cool deal. For a second I hadta double check to see if it was playin. So lemme let this track build a bit before I continue...

Okies, I'm back...
Isn't it funny how stuff sounds different when you walk away? I was in another room like 15 feet from my PC and yada yada yeah, it sounded cool. (sighs)

This one is pretty out there. A trance track that takes on a life of its own, why I've never heard of such a thing, haha. Honestly, I can't think of anyone/anything else that this would remind me of. Well wait, the part I'm at now (over the 6 min mark) reminds me a little of someone. Couldn't tell ya who though.
Let's see... Remix stuff, hmm? Distorted Guitars, yeah, that'd so kick @$$! Industrial Trance, without the whiny Goth lyrics, OMG, that'd so rawk! Okies, I'm done. Later on!

Nice drums and synth sounds. Sounds great! I don't know if that lead fits. Maybe try a different lead synth sound.

How is that collab coming. I have a new track that you may want to check out. IT is called "Automatic Shutdown." It is a hardcore track made mostly with my mc-303, so it sounds like 90's hardcore.
