REVIEW: Cosmic Gate & Eric Lumiere - Bigger Than We Are out on WYM Records / Black Hole

10.0

Overall Score

Here’s the next Cosmic Gate - Materia Chapter.Two track to single-shine: ‘Bigger Than We Are’. The track reteams Nic & Bossi with Eric Lumiere - the voice behind previous C.G. club-wowers Falling Back, Run Away and Edge Of Life. For an unprecedented fourth time, Eric instills his inimitable vocal expression and songwriting depth, (along with no small measure of heart and soul) into a Cosmic Gate number. Mirroring ‘Bigger’s pathos-to-positivity song arc, Cosmic Gate track his tone with emphatic drums and subby, mood-som bass, finally raising 'Bigger’ to its synth-spirited conclusion.

Summary

The most beloved duo in trance Cosmic Gate reveal another brilliant single from the 2nd part of their forthcoming album. Eric Lumiere is on vocal duties and the result is marvellous as the dark moody basslines are combined with fat punchy drums along with rock edgy melodies in the main part and smooth and dreamy breakdown followed by melodramatic build up of various synthy plucks that lead in the massive feel good optimistic hands in the air synthy filled climax and Eric's incredible performance with deep and inspiring lyrics about true love. Powerful enough to make your blood pumping and heart beating fast enough to reach higher than the stars and of course singalong with loud voice inspired and blissed out. #PureGold Love IT
