REVIEW: Gordon Coutts - Tonal/Dreamer out on Fraction records

1 - Tonal (Original Mix)
2 - Dreamer (Original Mix)
3 - Tonal (Tech Mix)

Gordon Coutts returns to Fraction Records with his latest collection of tech fueled big-room super weapons entitled 'Tonal' and 'Dreamer', delivering 3 huge slices of no-holds-barred floor focussed trance at it's finest!

Tonal opens in style: speaker shattering kick drums and delightful tribal grooves set the mood immediately, while the gritty bass lines and glowing sub tones ensure maximum damage on the dance floor! Super hot melodies engulf the breakdown in tremendous fashion before rising up to release in a fireball of tech bliss - massive!

Dreamer picks the pace up a little with rolling bass lines and energetic top melodies to really make this track the perfect set-lifter. On the breakdown, plucked lead lines make way for a soaring saw lead on the drop in to lift the floor once again!

To round the release off, Gordon provides an additional 'Tech Mix' of Tonal. Dropping the melodic breakdown and focussing firmly on the techier route, this mix twists and turns at every opportunity with spectacular results - firmly for the after dark crowds!

Another huge outing for Gordon Coutts! 

Gordon Coutts - Tonal / Dreamer by Fractionrecords

Dimitri Kechagias review: Fraction continues to be very high in the list of the most important UK trance labels. Now its time for the solo release of the talented Gordon Coutts. If you like your trance with tribal tech trance feel to it then Gordon offers you 3 great tracks in a very impressive package. Tonal is a banging tribal tech trancer with UK hard house influences as well.  With playful rhythm that is hard to resist and a very large rave style synthy riff in the breakdown to make you scream and shout out loud. The fat stomping bouncy banging tech trance beat continues on the same way on the main part without any melodic interference. The same track is offered with Tech mix as well that its main difference with the original is the absence of the big melodic synthy riff in the breakdown that is replaced with techy rougher riffs. My choice on this package is Dreamer because it combines tech trance with superb melodic theme that can make you close the eyes and dream while you dance jumping and feeling absolutely fantastic. Gordon applies his tough mechanical cold tech trance beats along with acid overtones but with the melodic element more prominent that lead us on the massive breakdown that spoken male vocal sample is combined with the huge ravey synthy melody that will get immediate response from your uncontrollable crowd. Big room, euphoric and ready to conquer dancefloors and stadiums too. Keep on dreaming of a better and fair world. Love It.
