In recent years, Finland has become a veritable hotbed of EDM talent, so it should come as no surprise that the collaborators on "Reflections" all hail from the land of a thousand lakes. Tom Fall, a recent standout on the Anjunadeep 02 compilation with his top-25 hit "Cubic," and Something Good, also not strangers to the Beatport charts with their top-40 hits "Solence" and "Cielo," have teamed up on an anthemic new release, replete with two high-profile remixes. The Original Mix is a peak-hour stormer, highlighted by a chills-inducing African world music sample. In the main break, this beautiful sample is allowed to soar, while a combo piano-synth provides a greater emotional charge.
Sundriver, who has been a label fixture of late, provides a characteristically chilled, yet poignant prog trance rendering. Frequently supported on Above & Beyond's "Trance Around the World" radio show, Sundriver once again gives a Balearic makeover to the tune, with radiant pads that would make Nick Bracegirdle blush.
Finally, Embliss, one of Silk's veteran contributors, offers a more traditional prog house rendering, yet no less emotive than the first two mixes in the package. With recent top-100 charters on Armada's Electronic Elements division, Embliss continues to receive greater recognition for his soothing, yet sophisticated niche in the international prog house arena.
