when i saw and eventually bought this album i was given the impression that it was by the psytrance producer freq aka sean gallagher. not that it mattered which freq it was but it was the album cover that gave me that impression. as i checked the credits on my way home and saw matrix records and detroit and the name sean deason i understood that it wasn't some psytrance album that i bought.
however the melodic and somewhat hypnotic nature of cuts like "xirtam", "dreamscape", "dolphin dreams" and this one "untitled" made them perfect to play in trancy sets. "untitled" is the fastest and most intense on the album if you don't count "fury" which is drum & bass. much like most of the album it driven by repetition and layered sound aestethics and you could call that minimal which it is but it is also trance.
the pad and muted bongo drum that open the track are eventually joined by a few synthpatches that plays according to the rhythm of the bongo and the chords of the pad. it does get more intricate as the different layers of sound are joined together but that rhythm is the key throughout the track. basically the foundation of what proper trance music should be if you want to be frank about it.
