- When one thinks Lustral, the classic ‘Everytime’ springs immediately to mind. 5 years on, and the long due follow up is finally upon us! ‘Broken’ is the name of the new production, and it uses the vocals of Kate Jackson.
Disc One
On side A, Way Out West provide another quality remix. Trademark WOW here, with the trademark breakbeat patterns, a subtle piano line and good use of the vocals. Not an immense peak time track by any means, but efficient nevertheless. On the flip we have Germany’s Pitch & Sulfer mix. This the quicker of the mixes from disc one. It has a flurry of subtle sounds in the background, while the kick and hats is relentless, not leaving much time for rest. A breakdown deep into the track is a welcome inception in terms of arrangement. A good peak time mix.
Disc Two
On the A side we have Lustral’s very own mix of the track. Now this is a pure peak time trancer. Big synths and riffs are the name of the game here. Breakdown’s with strings and vocals are used to good effect. This is sure to be a big hit with the trance heads, and it is assured to have a big room appeal. On the flip we have a Yunus mix of ‘Everytime’. Played by Sasha & Digweed in their Essential mix of this year, this will appeal more to the Prog heads. Trademark melodies from the Turkish master of Prog with subtle use of the vocals from the Lustral classic.
All in all, three mixes of ‘Broken’ that will appeal to the subtle side of things with the WOW mix to the peak time hands in the air stuff with the Lustral mix. The Yunus mix of ‘Everytime’ I’m sure is enough reason to check this release out. Quality release again from Lost Language.
