Well, hey - no Crystalis ReMixes for two years and then two practically back to back, and good ones too. For those that were waiting for some Crystalis lovin', but may have found Ryan8bit's 'Calming the Angry Sea' too laid back, or just prefer electronica over guitar-based works, newcomer Neostorm has the answer. With a great swingy house piece that's well-mixed, catchy, and shows a little more attention to variety, interpretation, and originality than average genre submissions, Neostorm's got a funky thang going on. Key to the success are the sweetly filtered snare (and general variety and quality on the rhythm side of things), a high-quality soundset overall, some lovely playing on a synth-piano solo with wonderful trills at 0'50", the breakdown towards the end at 3'51" that keeps things interesting even at what I'd consider a longer-than-usual runtime for this sort of piece, and overall panache. Ending in this case didn't do it for me - sometimes this sort of "leave 'em hanging" thing works, and sometimes it doesn't. For this piece I would have preferred something with more closure, or even a fade out, but it's a brief portion of an otherwise memorable house piece that illustrates some formidable skills at constructing this sort of mix. Recommended.
