Haha, Asskickery as a word... Although I get what the reviewer is saying. I have had this in my bag since it's release and it's never failed me when a set is in danger of running out of steam. It is a manic track of epic magnetude, the rolling acid-analog sounds underlying that thunderous and almost distorted overlay bassline work amazingly and the breakdown gives a crown a chance to recover a bit before the beats return and round two is underway. This is another older tune that I have been playing recently to majority younger crowds that may have never heard it before and it always storms the village, plunders the possesions and leaves as fast as it came... no wait, that was the Vikings!

Cloudchaser, previously heard remixing Alphazone's "Flashback", here delivers an uplifting trancer with happy uplifting elements. Pretty straightforward stuff, but still catchy. However, as usual it is Alphazone, returning the remixing favors, who steals all the attention. With a slightly different approach then their previous releases and remixes, they manage to sound both fresh and familiar. Starting off with analog drums, this quickly builds to floorstorming proportions when guitar-like jabs, huge basslines and extremely wicked acid and stabbing synths get added. The break is atmospheric, yet the song looses little momentum as drums accompany the pads and effects. The main lead synth is simply stunning, and when all hell finally breaks loose you would have big trouble finding anything else out there that matches this remix in terms of pure energy, production quality and just general degree of ass-kickery. If you like melodic harddance or trance, this buy is a no-brainer.
