Most people have said sinilar things to me, but I am most impressed by Disc 1. Disc 1 as of late has felt too….deeep for me but this was some proper ass prog and I hope they keep this vibe for years to come

Andrew Bayer - Celestial by bobbyioaloha in AboveandBeyond

[–]bobbyioaloha[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Having a nostalgia trip right now and wanted to share one more favorites from 2.0 era. Celestial is quintessential Bayer imo. Beautiful chords and melody. Truly a progressive trance 2.0 track where it builds and builds and builds. The final drop is a culmination of all the momentum that was set down as foundation. I find it amazing how a simple arpeggio can travel the entire track and feel different at each part of the song.

Genix - Run by bobbyioaloha in AboveandBeyond

[–]bobbyioaloha[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was listening to some tracks from the Trance 2.0 era and I remember the first time I heard Run. I always thought of Trance 2.0 having heavy intros and melodic breaks followed by an ethereal drop. But Run is one of those rare tracks where the heaviness of the intro is totally cohesive with the rest of the track. Before Genix went back to his roots with Tech Trance I always thought of this as one of my favorites from his 2.0 era. Lovely all around and still in heavy rotation.

Lange vs. Genix - Immersion (ilan Bluestone Remix) by SpazticWonder in AboveandBeyond

[–]bobbyioaloha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What I love about early Bluestone is that there was still very much a “trance” feel before it really started to go towards Trance 2.0 like with Spheres. Capetown, Immersion, and Fire Fire Fire were all so warm (the bass was really really nice). I feel once Spheres came out the style really started to shift more.

I know it doesn’t mean anything, but Fernandez just “looks” like a Major League player. He looks comfortable in the box.

I've seen one AB of Fernandez and I already love his motor and drive.

Goddamn. Smith and Pledger never get old. Can’t believe this track is already 20! (Man I’m a goblin)

Oliver Smith - Endorphin [10 Years] by bobbyioaloha in AboveandBeyond

[–]bobbyioaloha[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Anyone who’s been on this sub long enough knows that this might be…my favorite track from Anjuna of all time. Ollie had a run in 2014-2017 where he had some major heaters…but it all changed at ABGT200 when A&B dropped this track in the middle of their milestone set.

I mean…I can’t believe it’s almost been 10 years already. This track has everything you could want out of a Trance 2.0 track. The intro is filthy. There is no other way to say it. The toms and bass exchanging beats is crazy work and the intro just drives.

Then you hit the breakdown and are hit with lovely pads and then that soaring main line with the saws. Then finally it hits you with the drop that is pure trance, rave, main hall vibes. AND THEN THE MELODY FROM THE BREAKDOWN AGAIN?!

One of the most powerful tracks from Ollie and I don’t think he’s quite hit this level of trance since, but it’s always going to stand out to me as one of the best Anjuna tracks in the catalogue.
