 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Slam Duck has attracted a lot of attention because of the stream of high class releases on various labels. His latest productions for Pure Trance Progressive take you deep down below to go under the surface and dive deep with smooth basslines, ecological atmosphere that you feel like being during night in the middle of the ocean with only moonlight searching for the right direction to go. Great breakdown with mesmerising synthy plucks, warm atmosphere, acid overtones and heavenly trancy voices. The climax is melodic and spacious with three dimensional sound that is inspiring to say the least. Life Changes continues on the same deep progressive direction with bubbly grooves, smooth dark haunting basslines and great hopeful piano chords along with magical synthy plucks that make instantly the difference. Floating and blissful Life Changes when  music  inspires you to take action and glab your future. #PureGold Love it  [/content]
