10.0
Overall Score

 



Adam Taylor returns to NEON for our first release of 2025 with a solo follow-up to his James Kitcher co-production ‘Utopia at Midnight’. We present the brilliant #140bpm ‘Beyond Reason’. This track kicks any formulaic approach into the long grass, taking us on a peak time trance journey that is never predictable, always surprising and joyous.

Adam Taylor - Beyond Reason10

Summary

Pure Trance NEON caters to the uplifting trance genre, and its latest release by Adam Taylor exemplifies this mission of showcasing only the finest, unconventional uplifting tracks. Beyond Reason, with its over six-minute duration, effectively narrates its story and captivates trance enthusiasts. This 140 BPM trance track draws inspiration from the late 1990s, featuring straightforward, driving basslines, pulsating kicks, pounding drums, and cool vocal snippets. The first breakdown unveils a dreamy, old-school melody that gradually evolves and engages without becoming excessive. The second, extended breakdown reveals the euphoric, hands-in-the-air melody, ideal for fireworks. The tension is skillfully built, leading to a climax where all layers harmoniously create a sense of euphoria, leaving an indelible impression of joy and optimism. #PureGold - A Timeless Masterpiece, Love iT
