- Platipus records have a long and distinguished history having being stalwarts of the trance scene for well over a decade.This release sees platipus headman Simon Berry- Art of Trance with another sumptuous offering ,Persia, also featuring Natacha Atlas of Trans-Global underground notoriety on vocals.
The Original mix is first off the plate,bringing together an typically driving blend of peaktime beats along with a rich tapestry of warm,organic synthlines and twinkling percussion.The mood is uplifting from the off,notching it up a level as Atlas's orgasmic,mystical vocals are added along with scintillating acid line which eases off before notching back up again.
On the flip side is some Russian spice with the Vorontsov remix displaying an exciting angle to the package.He takes parts of the original and softens the energy levels down with an tighter mix of incessant percussion and housier beats,enhancing the mystical quality of the vocals with added stings and beckoning melodic aftertraces .
AOT&Platipus are making a charismatic start to 06 with a definite floorshaker reminiscent of early releases.
