This one took 10 hours to record in April 2010. The April 2012 remix took about 17 hours. Again, the original session was difficult and when I listened to it 2 years on, I was not happy. The remix consisted of re-ordering the track, adding/deleting complete sections. I also had technical problems with various VSTis. I had to remove some of them completely, whilst I persevered with others. Hopefully the next track will be less trouble, but the one after that........

I suppose this track is part of the TranceFusion series, and combines '70s, '80s and '90s elements.

Fascinating fusion of sounds and ideas, pulled off with great finesse. Classy stuff here Tim, really enjoyed it.

Cool thing ! This is a great crossover of different styles.
It sounds good, nice leads.

Cheers

Thanks very much, Matt. Glad you enjoyed it

The next one should be a lot easier.

Thanks very much for checking this out LR. Glad you liked my stylistic mashup

Colour me intrigued. Give us a hint...

I just listened to "Offsets" last week, and was a lot happier with how it sounded 2 years later. Add to that the fact that the VSTis involved do not have a history of "playing up" and that I already have a couple of ideas for updating it. Should be a walk in the park. But then again.............

this is a feast for the ears! there's so much going on that it just doesn't feel like seven minutes. great tune Tim

neil.

Really enjoyed it and am now working my way through your other tracks.

An excellent selection of synthesised morsels as always!

You really should have been in a synth pop band in 1985

have to agree with macmurphy, there's so much going on that it's over before you know it!
enjoyed it man, thanks for sharing!

Nice one - very enjoyable!

Great stuff as usual Tim - the sense of 3 decades' worth of styles and sounds is really strong on this track. Like Tangerine Dream and Depeche Mode jamming in BT's studio

Thanks for listening and the compliments, Neil. Glad you liked it. I hope it didn't give you indigestion

Thanks very much for listening. I'm glad you liked it

Good luck with the back-catalogue. That will take some real perseverance (and about 4 hours)
