[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]One of the most prolific trance artists from Poland is the legendary Nitrous Oxide with releases on top record labels like Anjunabeats, Mondo Records, Raz Nitzan Music and many more. Well-known and respected for his incredible melodies and fantastic clean and crispy club sound Nitrous Oxide is a guarantee of high quality productions that will stay eternally in your CD or digital collection. Nitrous Oxide has started even his own label OXIDISED and he released his fantastic album Red Moon. 21 brilliant tracks are included and you are rest assured about their classy sound. Children Of The Sun as the title suggests colorful, euphoric full of summer vibes and sunkissed melodies. Echoes is packed with pulsating basslines, electro kissed kicks, guitar like riffs and euphoric synthy hooks with heavenly atmosphere. Vertigo starts with long atmospheric intro building tension towards the epic hands in the air mainstage section. Midnight Dancer adopts classic uplifting trance basslines, pounding drums, punchy kicks leading to the long atmospheric relaxing and slowly building towards its intense classical style climax with melodies coming from the golden age of trance. Redmoon is the title track with anthemic melodies and heavy elastic driving basslines that could be easily become the theme of one of the biggest trance festivals for sure. Antidote  with earth shuttering basslines, grungy dirty kicks and distorted rave style synths will blow some minds. Angels & Robots with slightly Kraftwerk feel to it starts with electro section to float and dream away leading to an epic hands in the air feel good climax with distinctive electro pop 80's infused melodies. Curiosity is a wonderful balearic track with heavy techno style basslines and thumping kick drums. Daydreamer is a break trance beat beauty with a huge melody that can serve as great intro to DJ sets.  I Feel It  applies an old school vocal sample and builds a warm sensual rave trance anthem with Ibiza and warehouses in your mind. Solution is another excellent anthemic breaks track with emotional sensitive heartfelt melancholic melodies associated with Anjunabeats sound. Division is warm progressive house with melodic techno elements that house or techno DJs can adopt easily. Denying targets the modern dancefloors with acid overtones, vocal samples and techno basslines to pump up your muscles. Raum with electro pop/experimental and even leftfield arrangement will appeal to those who goes for something raw and unpredictable.  Mojave is a very spanky sparkling track that can serve as warm up tool. It's Alright moves in the electro progressive trance direction with electro touches basslines, punchy kicks and thumping drums plus the electro guitar riff on top that adds the rocking, funky and shaking appeal to it. Unity is the after clubbing relaxing smooth chill out lounge magic to calm and transcend. Tokyo Underground is cinematic anthemic piece perfect for the soundtrack of the next Japanese anime movie. Homecoming is an optimistic colorful positive and very emotional hands in the air banger. Lastly No Pressure is another after clubbing relaxing smooth chill out ambient track to help us all land safe and sound after this 21 tracks journey. From the album are missing some full vocal tracks but still I consider this as being an exceptional showcase of his talent. Just Perfect #PureGold Love IT [/content][/review]
