Thomas Bronzwaer - Look Ahead FLAC

By now, it is clear that Thomas Bronzwaer has established himself as one of the most respected names in uplifting trance. After debuting in 2003 with the ethereal "Starburst", in a collaboration with Paul Moelands (Octagen), under his currently dormant Arizona alias, Bronzwaer has been one of the most consistent producers. In recent years, his melodies have definitely shaped themselves into a very recognizable style, often arranged by first lifting the notes high, then low, until they meet in the middle (usually the key note or very close.) Look Ahead seems to me like a hybrid of Titan and Resound, with especial inspiration taken from Titan. It has the epic builds of Titan, while pulling the melodic aspects of both songs into one crisp and lush breakdown. My first taste of this immense track came from hearing it live at A State of Trance Episode 400. Now, normally I am very critical of the direction the ASOT shows have led trance for too many reasons, however, the melody and builds of Look Ahead stood out so robustly, it reinvigorated my taste for some uplifting trance. Adding to this, Look Ahead is perhaps as good as it gets for 2009 in this department.
