Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia [En Motion Mix]

The title itself may be extremely difficult to understand and pronounce, but the song itself is nowhere as complicated. The En motion mix is my favorite. It possesses a few more elements that make it more emotional than the other mixes. The melody itself is composed by middle to high pitched string sounds. In the back ground, you have chimes and crystal like instruments playing loops and loops of cool feeling sounds. As a result, this song is very wintery and every time I listen to it, I get this chilled feeling. Quite literally, I get a but colder and my mood is not as hot. This is simply a very uplifting and chill-relaxing song after a long day of work or a nice cruise on the roads in the summer.

The Alaska mix has an even more chilling effect. The added piano ambient and echoed sounds create a scene in my mind: that of a frozen lakes and a tall ice mountain in the background. My mind may be biased by the very title of this remix, but just give it a listen and see for yourself. Especially since it is cold out, it is quite easy to imagine how it feels like to be chilled right now.

Well if not icy and frozen images then you may see a very rich variety of colors in different patterns that appeal to you in some way or another. Personally, I like this songs simple yet enjoyable melody and a dense and upbeat bass line that gets you very jumpy at times. If anything, this is one of those old school songs that hooked many people onto the trance music genre today. Sorry to say, today’s trance tracks are no where as good as the old ones, but eventually, some talented mixers will bring back the old with a superb remix.
