I like the variation Trancelucent puts out. Something for every taste, every thing from progressive to full on night time trance. This time it seems like they are focusing on the more clubby side of full on. The first track we get here is a drifting, melodic, full on track. Melodic morning trance with a clubby sound. Track 2 is a stumpy track with some pretty cool voice samples. The melody sounds a little bit too cheesy for my taste though. Track 3 is a really hard pushing track. Here we jump right over to a night time vibe, with darker sounds and a massive, rolling bass line. He has made this track together with Bizzare Contact (Kfir Lankry & Didi Ezra). Track 4 goes the clubby direction again. I like the way he has used the voice samples in this one. Very melodic track that should fit in the morning. He has made this track together with System Nipel (Ruby Yakubov & Anton Lunev).
Track 5 starts pumping from the first second. This one gets way too cheesy for my taste. Almost like hard house, with some pretty simple melodies. Track 6 is better. A drifting, darker track, still with a clubby touch. We also get some guitar sounds in there, which I find a bit boring. Track 7 jumps back to a commercial sound again. Pure, clubby trance, with some cheesy female voice samples and uplifting melodies. Track 8 goes the same direction. Quite easy digestible melodies that might hit a massive, clubby crowd, but it doesn’t sound deep enough in my ears. The last track he gives us on this album starts with some samples from the Lord Of The Rings. This one goes the melodic, clubby direction too. He has made this one together with Brain Damage.
This album sounds a little bit too clubby for my taste. Very melodic, full on trance, which seems to be quite popular in Israel these days, but not my cup of tea.
