Anssi Hohti is reviving the A98 alias with this two track EP as Finity Recordings is demonstrating yet more of the trance which is emerging from Finnish producers at the moment...
:: A98 - Solar Wind / Binary Star
:: Finity Digital
:: FTYD006
1) Solar Wind
'Solar Wind' is one of those flowing kind of tracks with the unrelenting rolling basses and rhythmic synths that push a production onwards. There's also light and airy synth presence which really smooths out the top end of the production and adds in the right amount of trancey feel. Carrying on with the smooth and flowing feel, a new lead is introduced - a high pitched, clear sounding instrument, which draws out a long and winding melody which follows a good path of progression and due to just the right amount of reverb, it blends really well with the surrounding sound. What you get is one of those decent tracks where a quick flick through is not enough to appreciate it, but a full listen will engross you as it takes you on its journey.
2) Binary Star
'Binary Star' is quite different to 'Solar Wind'. It employs a bassline with a quirky rhythm which is in a pretty psy-trancey kind of style. Crecendos of synth, sumptuous pads and a jittering chord progression are thrown into the mix to provide a wholesome and uplifting experience. The breakdown is filled with melodious synthlines and the whole thing culminates in a rich bed of melodic synth which goes on to lead the track in a wandering pattern of uplifting melody, backed by some especially wonderfully crafted pads. Quite the track of two halves really - once you get over the interesting blend of synth and bass styles, the track comes to life after the breakdown to provide you with some really quite pleasant sounds.

Conclusion:
More goodness from Finity's digital label here. It's good to see A98 back with a pair of decent tracks, and not being afraid to try something different either.
