this one is from an old swedish compilation called "echoes of the sun" released on loop. it's produced by cari lekebusch and it's no secret that a lot of the prominent swedish techno producers started off making trance and hardcore. most of them stopped around '94/'95 and i believe out the main core it was only robert leiner who continued to make trance.
lekebusch who has released tracks under a whole load of monikers only released on ep as yakari and this track wasn't on that ep but was exclusive to the compilation. i think it's definantly amongst the best tracks on the thing but then again the compo is quite patchy.
it's kicks off with an acid wiggle fading in and a few bars later lekebusch drops a deep but heavy tr 808 kick and track picks up steam quite fast. it's very much a lengthy hypnotic piece that revolves a few different motifs and has that feel that most early trance have. i fell in love with the track on the first listen but i must say it also has two things that irritate me a little.
first off is a sample of a baby laughing in the breakdown. i really have no idea why these kind of sounds gets into certain productions. the second thing is that it uses a panflute type synth-patch in the second half of the track. that works when it is a top layer with all the other sounds but when it's introduced on it's own it just feels like michael cretu.
however as i mention that some parts are weaker than the others they balance themselves and it's overall a stunning piece of music. if you are in sweden you can find this particular compilation in a few second hand stores. they tend to be in circulation along with all the other bollocks that noone wants. it's also well worth copping for the harmon eye tracks by peter benisch.
