It's a nice track, the structure and some synths remind me E-Mantra for some reason. Thanks for sharing.

Global Sect's releases start to sound very samey and homogeneous - both artist albums AND compilations. Production-wise, I feel this blends all the sounds too much a bit (or maybe there's too much delay & reverb?) which makes it pretty uniform in terms of energy delivery and excitement. There's not enough space between the sounds - so to speak - and it feels very overloaded, overdone. That kind of style can work well, if there are some prominent key changes, sudden shifts in sonic textures and some moving, "big" melodies that are not just arpeggios or echoed stabs. But this one lacks such memorable melodies, hooks, rhythmic patterns or acid lines - or maybe they're buried deep within this sonic soup, blending together to the point they can't be distinguished anymore? It just smoothly rolls along, leaving barely any impression. I'm not saying it's bad by any stretch (not regretting I've purchased it), but it's pretty bland as a whole and probably works better as individual tracks.

Hmm, Optronic Circles (The Inner Shift Mix) by Crossing Mind. Wistfully and melancholy combined with desire for (universal peace and love? or is it just sadness?)... Touches my heart very strong.
