This review covers the progressive trance track Inzite – Everest.
This track was released in 2003 along with the track Spellbound.
The track starts with a cymbal crash, a synth, and parts of a drum kit. A reverse cymbal makes an appearance along with a synth effect. The high hat joins the track. After another synth effect along with part of a melody, the bassline joins the track. A synth melody then gradually fades in. A synth pad then also joins the track that has choir-like elements to it. Another synth joins the track after. Parts of the track then fade out.
After a reverse cymbal, the pads are all that’s left. A secondary synth pad joins the track. After an effect, the main synth melody joins the track. The bassline then joins the track when the synth effect makes another appearance. A clap then joins the track. Cutoff frequency is then pulled off the main synth for a moment. Parts of the track pull out and a small part of the main synth melody starts repeating.
After a snare roll, the main synth plays out along with the rest of the track returning. Large portions of the track gradually drop out after a while and the main synth drops out completely. Parts of the track then returns along with the secondary synth melody. A snare roll then makes another appearance.
Most of the track drops out and the main synth melody, with filtering applied, returns. The filtering gradually pulls back. A snare roll then makes an appearance. The rest of the track returns and the main synth plays out without filtering again. After a bit, the main synth drops out and is replaced with the secondary synth melody. Pads drop out in the process.
From there, small parts of the track drop out. A reverse cymbal makes another appearance and parts of the drum kit drop out. The secondary synth melody then drops out, leaving the bassline and what’s left of the drum kit. The basseline then drops out, leaving just the drum kit. A reverse cymbal then leads the track out.
One thing I like about this track is the main synth. It works quite nicely as it sounds great and gives a sense of the overall theme portrayed in the title. It gives the track a very nice sense of progression throughout.
What I also like is the secondary synth melody. This nicely counterbalances the main synth melody and gives the track a nice sense of variety.
Probably my only minor nitpick is that the main synth melody plays out for periods of time that might be a bit excessive. As a result, there is that undercurrent of repetition in this one.
Still, besides that, this is a track that works out quit nicely. It has a great main synth and a great secondary synth. The track progresses quite nicely. Besides some parts dragging out a bit longer then they should, there really is nothing to complain about in this track. So, a very solid track all around.
Score
7.5/10
