andy moor - fake awake [ava & anjunabeats]

[a98]

finally a new single from one of my biggest and current heroes in trance

at first it sounded a bit standard, but this is definitely a grower right here, after about the 4th listening this started to sound really good. the vocal chops are just so damn catchy.

i can't say it's better than "halcyon", but halcyon is one of my all time favourites and has become the track i listen as the last track just before i leave my house into party

you can listen the original mix and eco mix (also andy's) at www.myspace.com/andymoor
the eco mix sounds really sweet, and i believe there is also a "trance mix" of this.

according to andy's myspace this will be a co-release between ava and anjunabeats

[a98]

oh and just for the record, that tilt's re-activation remix of angry skies (also in the myspace player) is fucking awesome aswell
here's a clip from another part of the track:

"fake awake" sounds nice. i prefer that original mix to eco mix, because of that andy moor's should i say trademark bassline. eco mix's bassline is too generic in my opinion.

nice foreign vocals. the fact that i don't understand them makes them more sexy

heheh sounded like an allende bass to me

[denyle]

i'm kind of used to hear that kind of bassline in andy moor's tracks just about after "air for life"

edit : not exact of course. must've been those phat bass sounds and glide effects between his notes every now and then which keep me going like "ah, this could be andy moor's production" whenever i hear one.

therefore i said "trademark"

well that's nothing like the bass sound here

here's a clip of air for life bassline, and also couple of other andy moor basslines... none of them have this sound.

it was just funny, the first time i heard this track i instantly thought that the bassline sounds exactly like something i would do myself

[denyle]

well i didn't ment those notes of course, but that "massive sound and slight glide between notes = in my opinion andy moor's trademark bassline". it's also in air for life as far as i know, slight different sound so to speak, but he plays it in the sameish way.

air for life by the way in my opinion his best track, it's just wicked sick

edited my reply to the previous post (thought i was gonna be quicker than you...)

yeah definitely one of his best, i think these three might be even a bit better:
andy moor - halcyon
white room - the white room
tilt - the world doesn't know

plus all the awesome remixes he's got

[denyle]

i edited also (gently of course)

I hate Andy Moor, he's too good. Always makes me so disappointed to myself.

Nothing special at first listening, quite basic Andy Moor stuff, which ain't bad don't get me wrong, but in my opinion this or the remix brings nothing new to the table, quite "basic" stuff. Tilt is usually sign of something good and this time it was also true. Really liked that original "Angry Skies".

I gotta +1 that White Room is better than "Air For Life", but probably the best track Andy has got his hands on is "Tilt - Electronic Poledancer" imo.

heheh yeah exactly my thoughts when i first heard it, but after i heard it more and more, it started to really catch my attention. andy moor is always best known for the ability to combine the simplest things possible into extremely catchy and enjoyable songs.

but probably the best track Andy has got his hands on is "Tilt - Electronic Poledancer" imo.

are you serious?
that's like one of their most "nothing special"-tracks i know
plus the bass note changes annoy me. but each to their own

[Lumonia]

You really don't know Tilt if you don't know "I Dream". Period.

yeah but that's the old tilt with john graham, which andy moor didn't have anything to do with
i can't find much similarities between the old tilt and new tilt, both sound fabulous but really different style.

well angry skies is also old tilt, but this new version is from andy moor era.

for me the best tilt is though hands down: "tilt - rendezvous (tilt vs paul van dyk rendezvous quadrophonic mix)"

Yeah this track hit me right on the spot the first time I heard it, if I recall correctly it was played on Melting Point radio and I right away went to ask Kake via msn what's this diamond. Somehow even when it's quite simple track it's catchy as hell to my ears.
