Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Well-done trance
Review: I keep hearing "Trance is supposed to be repetitive", but is that necessary?
Some of the parts were repeated over and over, to the point where it wasn't something I could even "dig". I'm biased, though.
The rhythms are good, absolutely, but really repetitive, except for in transitions (which are great), but the melody is pretty much all the same all over. You should cut at least one minute off the song, as it's not necessary. Try some moer effects (sound effects), other instruments and a few other rhythms.
A quality track, absolutely good. At least, I think so.

Well, my friend, I imagine the reason you don't dig it is because you're looking at it the wrong way. You want to see trance as though it were any other pop genre, built with a certain construction that makes it recognizable. But trance is, as are many electronica styles, more...free form, so to speak. Mainly it depends upon progression throughout the song, however, just about any sort of organizational pattern is game, even the overtly used pop ones. I can't speak for all who listen to trance, but one the of the reasons I dig it so much is because I like taking it apart; analyzing each sound on its own with its own progression, one by one, and hearing them all alone, as well as all together at the same time. Sounds trippy, but if you give it a shot, it's pretty frkin cool. Infected Mushroom is insane man...I'm tellin you.
