Tom: How about some full-on summer trance, Tim?
Tim: BRING IT.
Tim: Oh, you BROUGHT IT. That’s glorious.
Tom: The middle two minutes of this track, as far as I’m concerned, are wonderful. Full-on CHOON, albeit based mostly on the melody rather than the production.
Tim: I disagree – I think the production has just as much to do with it, because yes, the melody and singing is lovely, but the second half of that main section is has a total focus on the production, and that’s great.
Tom: It’s just the strange intro and outro section that let it go for me. I know that trance needs a stedy in and out to let DJs mix it, but it’s unrepresentative and lacklustre compared to that lovely middle bit.
Tim: Yeah – it’s curious, because typically the intro and outro bits would be substantially trimmed in a mix, so we’ve only really got a two, two and a half minute song here. Which is a shame, because I’d love more of that.
Tom: Long story short: keep the songwriter, change the production team, and maybe get a video that isn’t just timelapses of traffic.
