[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]ITWT is considered to be one of the most iconic and truly legendary trance label that has passed the test of time and now under the guidance of Menno de Jong goes through its renaissance period with many artists cuing to have a release on a label that has shaped trance culture. The latest compilation is mixed by Adam Ellis who I had the chance to have an interview with and I must say he is a down to earth guy with huge talent. The first 3 tracks emerging from this compilation are classy and truly especial. Firstly Allen Watts presents the superb Magnus. High class uplifting trance vibes with straight forward formula with long heavenly breakdown with ethereal voices and excellent breakbeat section while on top the huge euphoric synthy riffs will uplift your senses to the maximum. Quality Ibiza style trancer with loads of sunkissed melodic layers to carry you away from reality. Allan Morrow comes next with Desolation. The track starts in truly aggressive vicious punchy way until to land on the breakdown. It stars with a spoken male vocal sample that adds the tone followed by the massive uplifting synthy hook along cool voices and intense build up that will bring us to the climax is bass focused with huge dark moody synthy stabs and playful inventive arrangement. The beloved Greek project Active Limbic System present their exceptional slice of high class underground madness Exploring Another Reality. You can expect to get metallic basslines, old school techy grooves, sharp kicks and strong breakdown with nice melodies and harmonies that make you float for a while. The theme is unforgettable and highly infectious. The drop is rough and uncompromising so expect to go totally berserk in dark moody rough climax. #PureGold Love it [/content]
