SoundLift - Yerevan (Original Mix)
Weaving a tapestry of sound from the corners of the world, SoundLift's epic project 'Yerevan' has finally arrived! Drawing from sonics as far away as the edges of Asia, the sands of the Middle East, the mountains of Armenia, the sparkling shores of Portugal, and the beautiful beaches of Mexico, SoundLift presents a sound palette of the world's most exotic musical influences.
Differing from track to track, the value of this release is found in the strength of the compilation. The title track kicks off the album with soul-wrenching melodies and pulls us in from the first few bars. 'Windmill' brings a fresh melody and cool synths mixed with some soft strings. 'Take My Guitar, Give You My Love' featuring Adrina Thorpe, 'Acapulco' and 'Oriente' each bring a different flavour, stretching the boundaries of what trance music can be.
'One Day' stands out as an epic, melodic trance journey. Exploding with eloquent instrumentation, 'One Day' combines subtle background vocals, unique percussion and an array of complimentary sounds into an exploration of in-depth trance.
'Land of Nowhere' expresses SoundLift's unique yet recognizable style with stunning combinations of beautiful synths and a euphoric melody. This is definitely one of the hallmark tracks on the album.
An added benefit, Yerevan's release is further bolstered by the addition of two of SoundLift's classics. Horizonte and Nakhti are presented on this album along with the full plate of fantastic new work!
One of the most significantly different trance albums of the past few years, we invite you to make this gem your own.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The superb and always reliable Abora recordings from Canada that delivers stunning trance tracks offer us the chance to get on the wings and fly with the help of Soundlift through the superb album Yerevan. If you love trance in all its colors and shapes this album will satisfy you completely with excellently produced tracks with strong melodic themes. Lets take a closer look to this great album and check it out track by track .SoundLift feat. Adrina Thorpe - Give You My Love (Original Mix): The very sensitive and fragile voice of Adrina Thorpe shines upon the balearic smooth tribal beats of this romantic love trancesong. Take My Guitar (Original Mix): Balearic dream and trance track with strong rockish guitar riff that drives the track forward. Windmill (Original Mix): Uplifting melodic trance beauty that floats and flows really nicely getting you on a cinematic journey. Breakdown to die for included too with classical music influenced theme. Horizonte (Original Mix): Inspiring epic trancer with chorus like vocals and huge uplifting synthy riff to raise those hands in the air and feel confident to seize the days. Nakhti (Original Mix): Great dreamy uplifting trance track with very atmospheric calming relaxing breakdown to hug and kiss your loved one untill a really optimistic uplifting riff comes in to change your mood completely. Land of Nowhere (Original Mix): Full on and straight to the point uplifting trancer with epic breakdown and film soundtrack like moments recalling movies like the Braveheart. The main part combines successfully orchestral classical music influences with uplifting melodies and melancholic strings upon uplifting beats. Oriente (Original Mix): As the name suggests Oriente follows a really magical ethnic style melodic theme with guitar riffs, vocals and swirling synths that will get you jumping without second thought. One Day (Original Mix): Once Again the talented producer creates a superb travelling and really new age ecological uplifting trance for the mind and body to rejuvanate and be free. Acapulco (Original Mix): Top notch uplifting trancer that is shorter than the other tracks perfect for short moments in your radio show or set.
