Song:	"IKA - Нули в любви"
Mixing Artist:	Jonathan Burhan
Genre:	Trance / Electronic

Jonathan Burhan has jumped leaps and bounds in his ability to remix trance tracks and create unique and interesting mixes. This mix of "IKA" was something he had created for a Russian contest but was not able to submit. So instead he released it to us, the general public, and we have been given a real treat with this upbeat vocal trance track.

Clean professional audio production and a beautiful video make this a real win track, well worth watching and listening to.

"Regneration" by Earthonika

Song:	"Regeneration"
Artist:	Earthonika (CJ Williams)
Genre:	New Age / Electronic / Instrumental

Another beautiful production from CJ Williams. This fantastic and moving instrumental features many unique and interesting musical elements. Sweeping pads and synths move the listener with interesting subtleties combined with nice climaxes. The only thing lacking in this composition may be the length, because when it ends it seems like there should still be more.

The audio production is crisp, clean, and sharp. The video features cut scenes from the movie "The 5th Element" which seems quite fitting for this piece of music. All in all, CJ has brought us another wonderful creation.

The audio is perfect in every way, including that awesome deep bass, and the video featuring various clips of Antarctica is a fantastic accompaniment!

"Future Dreams" by Awesome

Song:	"Future Dreams"
Artist:	AWESOME (Victor Vergara)
Genre:	Electronic / New Age / Demo

Through the later part of the 1980's and pretty much all the way through the 1990's artists like Awesome of Wildbits used a music production tool called Screamtracker to create fantastic synthesized music like "Future Dreams". The format originated on the Amiga computer system as a 4 channel audio format called MOD. This unique new format was revolutionary for its time as it contained both the music sequence information, much like a MIDI file, and all of the samples required to play the sequence all within one file. As the format and the Amiga platform became better the complexity of these files grew threw formats such as S3M and finally ended at the grand-daddy of MOD files called XM or XMod files. These files allowed for a CD quality presentation of music in a file size between 1/10th and 1/100th the size of WAV file, which is still the standard format for CDs to this day. XM met a sudden and abrupt decline in popularity with the release of a revolutionary audio compression codec called MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly known today as MP3.

Awesome was among the best and brightest of the Screamtracker composers out there. He created hundreds of scores with Ancient Stories probably being his most popular. Future Dreams is a very intriguing and beautiful sequence in itself and really quite enjoyable to listen to.
