Binary Finary and Jose Amnesia pres. Cloudbreak – Difference [Enhanced]
Interesting pairing. Binary Finary and Jose Amnesia are both production outfits whom each have one genuine trance anthem apiece under their belts. It’s also true to say that neither artist has subsequently come close to equaling those highs.
Can this outing turn their fortunes around? The original mix of ‘Difference’ is a pretty deep number, but not one that skimps on the harmony, though. Feeling very slow, definitely in the low 130bpm bracket, it’s centered around a chiming main line. Not about to blow you away, it nonetheless has an embryonic charm about it.
Hydroid and Santiago Nino (who’s currently getting props all over for his rework of Hammer and Bennet’s ‘Language’) live large on the remix. Their interpretation immediately feels livelier and generally ‘bright’ in contrast to the original. Using some odd drum arrangements, they crucially catch the attention early on. The chiming synth sound’s like it’s been run through some expensive compression to really make it shine and the percussion is filtered and imaginative. An excellent
remix and a sure sign that these two are going places. |
