1-Eternal Flame
2-Siberia
Ever the master of extremes, Alexander Popov understands the balance of energy better than most.
Just as he pushes a squelching bassline to the limit of intensity, he pulls back to reveal a humble breakdown.
Eternal Flame and Siberia are the essence of the Popov sound – he blends concepts, genres, and melodic ideas so smoothly that you don’t even realize the craftsmanship behind the journey.
As you find yourself drifting away, you have to remind yourself of who’s running the show.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Armind is the quintessential trance record label that every trance producer aspires to see his/her name on it. The top Armin van Buuren imprint that just the name gives you goosebumps reveals two magnificent tracks by the hands of the beloved Russian talent Alexander Popov. The tracks Eternal Flame & Siberia are released just in time perfect for your mainstage performances at the biggest summer festivals. Eternal Flame is the main anthem here and you can easily understand why when you press play and you start to feel the energy and intensity rising to the highest level. Tough punchy groove, pulsating electrified bassline and hints of the main melody on top lead us on the breakdown when he reveals the classical music influenced theme that will calm your senses for a while and you will feel like diving in the middle of the ocean and the heavenly female voice is coming from a siren in the sea. The massive rave style synthy riff appears finally to bring excitement and wild anticipation on the dancefloor. The climax is full on hands in the air crowd pleasing pure trance euphoria to energise your body and explode inside your mind. This is real pure clean trance that manage easily to transport your imagination to far away places. Second fantastic track is the exceptional Siberia. It starts in truly big room euphoric trance style with chopped female vocal samples upon the bouncy techy groove and energetic bassline. The first breakdown is colorful and euphoric with that chopped vocal part played and twisted around. The main breakdown starts straight away with the huge euphoric electro style synthy lead that is very addictive and playful. Then he plays the main melody with another set of euphoric synths that sound even more epic and with massive drum roll builds the track towards the full on hands in the air epic super fantastic climax that is banging, bouncy and earth shaking in truly big room style. Two essential tracks for summer festivals and Ibiza night clubs! #PureGold Love iT
