─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
Ferry Corsten's third artist album under his own name
has arrived. The anticipation is high for this new
Twice In A Blue Moon album, because Ferry has announced
in various interviews that it will be more trance and
melodic than his previous album L.E.F., which was a
nice experiment. But it didn't have the impact Right Of
Way had back in 2003. We count twelve tracks on the
album that will guide us through the mind of Ferry
Corsten.
We kick off with Shelter Me, a gorgeous track we might
say. Some light beats, with a funky touch guides the
listener to the first minutes before we encounter a
very nice and emotional breakdown. A very warm track
which truely, as Ferry stated "sets the mood and pace
for this album". After the gorgeous start we find Black
Velvet, a vocal track that combines a bit of dance and
trance elements into one. Vox are provided by some
Australian girl named Julia. This will probably be a
love or hate track for many, I just couldn't get into
the vocal part, but the production is quite nice
alltogether!
We Belong is a fun track with a nice party atmosphere.
Corsten took an ancient Italo Dance record from Fun Fun
and twisted it into a nice dancetrack with vocoded
Maria Nayler vocals. I just loved the feelgood
atmosphere in this one. I am pretty sure many people
will call it cheese the first time they hear it, but it
takes a few spins to appreciate the catchiness of this
track.s
And then we arrive in "System F territory" with the
truly magnificent track Gabriella's Sky (for background
info check the Ferry interview on this site). A
stunning and atmospheric trip which slowly grows into a
breakbeat trancer, but it's a featherlight track all
around which has became an instant favourite of your
reviewer.
Made Of Love is the track which is pretty big hype on
the net right now, as a video on Youtube shows Ferry
Corsten spinning the instrumental version. This album,
ofcourse, features the vocal version. The vocal by
Betsie really adds to the dramatic feel of this
monstertrack and is in my opinion just as good as it's
instrumental counterpart. A very pure uplifting
trancerecord.
Ok the party is really starting now with Radio Crash, a
track I recently reviewed on Trance.nu, you can find
the review here. The title track of the album, Twice In
A Blue Moon is just a fantastic uplifting trancetrack
that more or less builds on from the track Sweet Sorrow
from Right Of Way, with the notice that it's bigger,
more brutal and much deeper! The main melody is a bit
distorted, but sounds exceptionally clean. Many
producers manage to drop such a main melody into a
puddle of nonsense sounds, but this tune is exactly the
way it should be. Very well thought out, spacey,
danceable and still atmopheric.
Phew ok, let's get gear down with Feel You, again with
Betsie on vocals. It's not the most memorable track on
the album and the vocals might not appeal to everyone,
but the little melody in this tune is just too
sparkling to not like it. Track number nine is Life,
which is for me the only really disappointing track on
the album. It sounded a bit like Ferry was trying to
produce a Sander van Doorn track here. A tad minimal
beats for the first minutes, which are a bit boring.
The breakdown is quite nice and delivers a nice
atmosphere, but the vocals by Ben Cullum really put me
off. Not very much happens in between those breakdowns
either.
Brain Box is up next, one of the bigger party records
that Corsten released the past years. In the
Netherlands this track was released as "The Race" and
it has been in alot of Ferry Corsten sets the past
year. It's either a love or hate tune, but you can't
deny the dancefloor impact of this track with that
Kernkraft 400 like melody. Still a great record, just
don't listen it everyday
The final two tracks are just amazing. Shanti opens
with a great shaman vocal (pretty oldschool) and
transforms into a deadly dancefloor weapon in the
middle, where a really pretty melody pushes the track
to great heights. Another big favourite on the album.
The closing track Visions Of Blue is for me the best
peace of ambient work I encountered the past months. It
has to be heard to be believed how amazing and deep
this two minute song is. I repeated it at least 25
times.s
Conclusion
This album is perfectly balanced and feels very warm
and atmospheric. Also the album feels very personal and
emotional at some times (Gabriella's Sky, Visions Of
Blue), while it pretty much ravages dancefloors with
tunes like Twice In A Blue Moon and Shanti. A welcome
return to the trancier sound for Ferry Corsten and I
think much of the tranceheads will be satisfied with a
purchase of this album. Buy this album but watch out
for your cd player, cause it might eat this disc,
because it's just so damn tasty!
