I still liked the original demo better. It had that uplifting energetic trance feel. With a solid bass line and drum and those awesome soft synths and chords it could of really been a beautiful uplifting track.
WOAH Adam sounds so STRANGE so autotuned like that... but its still SO COOL SOUNDING at 6:32 - again its too bad that someone was talking over him, but I understand its so it can't be sampled XD
With all of the work going into speech recognition, it's just a matter of time before someone is able to filter out the announcer... But yeah, was kinda lame anyway.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great musicians such as Armin Van Buuren. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
The announcer's sample is available clearly in the latest part of the video. All you need to do is to subtract this sample from the Adam's vocals with an appropriate volume value!
I love this track so much, easily the best one on the album and there isnt a single second in those 3:59 minutes of the song that isnt perfect. Thank you armin and Thank you Adam Young.
I love you armin, you are one of the greatest artists the world has ever seen, not just in the dance scene, you are just an all round amazing musician, and you inspire me :)
The Keyboard is nothing. The talent is in the man, not in the keyboard. I can give you the better keyboard of the world, if you don't have feeling with music, your musics will be bad.
6:31 Is it just some kind of fail on my PC or did this retards who created this video really destroyed that trac by just overlaying the original video with some stupid shit advertising?
@KuruGDI nah they inserted it into the video on purpose because I'm assuming they dont want anybody to have their hands on the accapella...kinda like back in the day when you used to download songs and some crappy dj would say their names over the track...cause if you ripped the vocals off this video at 1080p thats pretty good sound quality...
@kalepietkalepietkale And it works so well. I don't see any rip of armins album on the web.
maybe there is a greater idea behinf every thing but in this video they ruined the whole song for me. People who just download the CD via a sharehoster would never pay for the CD. So why bother and ruining the song?
My point is that this overlay is useless. If they are scared of somebody stealing it they should have just left it out of the video. That way they would not need it. The way they did it is just retarded and it causes nothing but pure headache!
@KuruGDI thats armada for you, prevents people from remixing their artists tracks using audio/vocals from the videos without the backing tracks/instrumentals.
They put it there with a good reason, cause they wanted to protect Adam's voice. At those parts, it's only the pure, studio vocal, without any drums or pads of any musical instruments, and they don't wanted that anyone can rip that from the session.
@KuruGDI I think they did it because he solo'd the vocals and anyone can just record that and use it as a sample just like sample pack/sound effect library's they overlay the sound with the company name or something..
@cliche113 ye its by blake jarell and will soon be released i think armins going to release a mirage - the remixes album just like he did with imagine - the remixes
I LOVE YOUTOPIA.. ARMIN VAN BUUREN ft ADAM YOUNG FTW!! YOu guys shd do the whole collab album.. this is the best track in your Mirage Album.. Seriously.!!
not to be arrogant or nothing but Adam Young has no business in a EDM track, I understand what the approach was in order to make something different with this collaboration but these are very contrasting styles with 2 completely different audiences. From the business stand point this brings in the owl city audience into electronica (new demographic, new market of revenue), from the music stand point this is just not pleasing at all
Where does admin live?? U.S.A. or Netherlands
