4.Orbion (Eco Remix)

The glow of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Mirage’ album is bright as ever. With new single ‘Orbion’, he shines a new light on the power and impact of instrumental tracks. A real future classic.

Earning the golden status in several countries saw Armin van Buuren’s fourth artist album setting forth much more than just hits. Each of its singles have moved the masses, from the emotional ‘Not Giving Up On Love’ and energetic ‘Drowning’ to the hard-rocking ‘Full Focus’ and seductive ‘Feels So Good’. ‘Orbion’ is one of the jewels of this masterpiece .

Once it’s captured you, you’ll find yourself taken on a trip, deep into captivating trance sounds. Uplifting with a dark sense. ‘Orbion’ is a great example of the traditional, characteristic Armin sound, combined with today’s influences.

On remix duties, New York producer Eco brings us an all-shattering, uplifting mix that combines an electrifying melody with a solid, deep beat. Shining an extra light on the angelic backing-vocals of ‘Orbion’, makes the break of his remix a real highlight moment.

If you’re looking for a more prog-trancy translation, get lost into the melodic maze of the Max Graham vs Protoculture remix. A powerful addition to the original!


 
   
Dimitri Kechagias review: Armin van Buuren is one of the most influential artists of all times with his productions, his mix compilations and his fantastic dj sets has changed the standards and he raised the bar really high. Now the beautiful track Orbion from his critically aclaimed album Mirage is getting its worthwhile release as a single with nice package of remixes. First of all is the original version that is a truly epic piece of trance and will bring in your mind tracks like Communication or Blue Fear or tracks he releases under his Gaia alter ego. 10 minutes of travelling progressive trance with driving basslines and ethereal heavenly style vocals that will uplift your mind and will add a blockbuster movie soundtrack atmosphere to your set. The breakdown is an experience that is hard to describe if you are not prepared to get amazed and really excited about the possibilities that trance music can bring into our life. The new mixes added are from the new generation of trance producers that because of Armin's support in his dj sets and his ASOT radio show manage to stand out and win the admiration of the global trance family. Max Graham co-operates with the South African super talent Protoculture for a massive uplifting banger that is only 133 BPM but sounds faster. Colourful trance with so many layers of great sounds and melodies that work together in harmony in order to service a remix that will be remembered as classic after some years and will be included on Now that's what I call classic trance 2020. Eco is another big talent who delivers an equally mesmerising version that sounds quite different from the other two mixes as he adds many new elements in order to go for a subtle atmospheric, dynamic, energetic  but deeper style mix. His breakdown is absolutely magical as he strips all the elements in order to bring a huge drop and then along with the heavenly vocal to add hypnotic layers of synthy melodies that slowly build up and will lead the track in the main hands in the air part. Brand new riff is introduced that sounds very exciting  and effective on the floor as well. When Armin speaks about trance the rest just listen. Orbion is a must for your cool trance collection. Love It!
