Above & Beyond present Tranquility Base
Oceanic

Released: 21st August, 2007
Label: Anjunabeats

The trio of Above & Beyond return with a tight production - this time under their Tranquility Base alias.

A - Above & Beyond present Tranquility Base - Oceanic [Original Mix]
The Original Mix on the A side begins with tight beats on which gradual synths are layered one by one. They quickly drive the track to the dreamy break down at around the 2 minute mark. Contemporary yet so plain keyboard notes are introduced which excite the emotions in you - something which Above & Beyond have always been known for. They lead the track to an explosion where it's hands in the air euphoria. Impressive!

B - Above & Beyond present Tranquility Base - Oceanic [Super8 & Tab Remix]
The B side consists of the Super8 & Tab Remix. They provide a reverberated wicked rendition to the track, although the breakdown still manages to preserve some uplifting moments. You will need a couple of listens for this one to grow on you.

Conclusion: Above & Beyond have managed to provide yet another reason for clubbers to engage in a dance floor frenzy. A great buy.
