Already in stores so I'm a little late on the review this time but better late than never! Been a couple of months since the brilliant Redstar EP was released on Red Force and here's a new name as well as a new release on the Red label. Harry Dyer is the name and I can't say that I'm familiar with him but looking at the Red Force release history this single should be very promissing!

Original Mix
Surprisingly a very proggy tune. It's leaning a little towards the kind of "prog house" being released on labels like Silk Digital Records, etc but with a little more of a trancey edge though. I guess you could say the percussion is a little more exotic opposed to the more hard-edged trancey percussion applied in trance tracks. Great summer melodies as well as slow and pleasent build-up.

Adam Nickey Remix
Adam is pretty much connected to all prestigious labels in the business. His sense of simple yet captivating melodies is unmistakable and I think that it applies here as well. I would actually say that Nickey would be the perfect man to trance up a track in this style. The well-crafted piano infested breakdown sucks you in perfectly and should leave you with a smile on your face (that is if you're into this sort of trance).

Dave Horne Edit
Nothing super fancy about the Dave Horne Edit which is basically just a shortened version of the original. It's a more consice version though which captures the very essence and I think it would work well in the early stages of a trance set.

Gravity's Amber Mix
A trancey version from Harry himself. Primarily carried by a heavy and bouncing bassline but also filtering in the original melodies to great effect. A more techy version if you like. Quite impressive I must say from an unknown name but do feel a tad annoyed by a white-noize sounding synth which figures around the pay-off part of the track.

Verdict:
Red Force are yet again displaying that they aren't a one-way focused label only going for one particular style - and I absolutely salute that! I'm drawn by both the Adam Nickey and Original version. Adam's version is a near perfect peak-time trancer which will do much good in a melodic trance set. The original seems to capture what I'm very much into these days - that something which lies between progressive house and trance. Top stuff!!
