NAME: Riding Mary-Jane
STYLE: Melodic / Progressive
DURATION: 7:00
PRODUCED BY: DjC
FORMAT: [Server 3] 160 Kbps MP3
STATUS: ONLINE - http://www.trancecontrol.com/mp3
This is the 24'th release since the start of our MISSION 2002 Project.
This track has a pretty controversial name, however the meaning is not what you at first might think. Mary-Jane is a mountain located in Winterpark, Colorado and this song is made to reflect my emotions during one of my snowboarding days up there. The track is a pretty odd one with a feeling of mystery and laidback vastness hanging over it.
I hope you will enjoy this release and feel free to drop your comments as a reply to this post.
Best,
Alex

Just like Anticlimax its quite different from what I'm used to hearing from you guys. I like it though. Very smooth. Not a whole lot to say at this point but it will probably grow on me like most of your tracks. Good work Alle!

Riding Mary-Jane: Good intro - not dependent on just a kick but also a great bass line going - I liked the electro sound of the intro and accents. Nice build and transition into the main melodic line. Very good mid song subtle build - and contrasting string line against the bass line. This song could easily develop into or be remixed into an epic trance and spend the last three minutes further developing and warping the main melodic line. Summer65

Not to be too picky, but haven't I heard this melody from you guys before? It starts at 1:49 in Love and Desire, and it's the pad melody at the beginning of Small Drops of Acid. The first time I listened to this song, I just thought, "so...no new melody?"
HOWEVER, the melody is done differently than the others, and I really like it! The ambient "mystique"-ness of the song is awesome. Isn't that why trance is called trance in the first place? You probably should have called it "ambient trance" in the Style section. Anyways, the song reminds me of some other music I've heard, but I can't quite place it. Maybe from a video game? I don't know. Oh well. It's an awesome ambient trance track!
About the style of the newest songs, I was listening to Gothenburg Sound and remembering the feeling I felt when I first heard it. I just miss the melodies you guys used to come up with, they were so amazing. I miss the regular main-lead rhythms too. I think that's why I was so amazed with Perfecto—the main lead had both a wicked melody and rhythm. With the latest two tracks, they've been really reserved and simple on the melody scale. I guess it's just because it's a different style, but I really hope you guys consider making more tracks like you used to—classic t[]c style!

Hmmmm, what can I say?
...Besides OHHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDNESS!!!!!!!!
This song is SO much better than Anticlimax! But the title is a wee bit ''duhh'' if you ask me. All of your other titles have like 'special' names, like EPICENTER and IMPORTED NIGHTMARE, and here comes Mary-Jane...?
Well, anyways, EXCELLENT song! Love the dreamy feeling!
And, I also think you should add some more stars to your polls.....

Im going to have to agree with bluey on this one, This song was nice, but it didnt have anything that just grabbed me. It didnt seam to inspire any emotion in me. This song also seemed anti-climax'ish.
There were some elements i did like, the distorted sounding dirty detuned supersaw synth i like. i think it could be used again, in a diffrent song and a diffrent melody. im glad this song didnt use an offbeat baseline. however i didnt like the bassline at all, it seemed static , like a 16th note and a 8th note staggard line with delay. and finnally , the background melody with the soft sounding synth i didnt care for.
I just dont see this as a crowd mover, like imported nightmare.
keepin it real.

P.S i know how hard it can be to keep making yourself better, and better, and also to reinvent your sound to be new and fresh, yet trying to keep fans happy. You guys are doing a good job. keep it up.

Lol now that you mention it, I do recognize the melodies. I think it's a good, laid-back tune, almost ambient like Bluey said.
I don't find it a particularly compelling track, but I still enjoy it. Ones like Touch the Lights, On The Other Side, Hyperdrive, Lobotomized Unicorn, Mystique, and Perfecto I can just crank the volume and sit back and feel something from the music, but not so much with Riding Mary-Jane. They all had really good melodies too.
It's still good work, not that I could do better. Don't get me wrong, I like this new style, and this track; I really enjoy Anticlimax, but Riding Mary-Jane doesn't do much for me like Mystique and others like it do.
4 stars for some good music to chill to.
