Let's all just be happy that Al Storm is
a) Getting due acclaim
b) Not giving a shit about trend based ********
c) Capable of excelling across multiple genres, but chooses this with roots long grown
d) Backed by people who noticed the above. Including y'all.

Al Storm has done some of the best remixes i've heard. And did a breaks track with Slipmatt that I still love to this day.

Now see when I hear a track like this, I actually feel a bit more positive about Hardcore. Maybe finally after many years of utter gash someone gets the point. I'm not remotely suprirsed Al Storm as his hand in this, he's probably the only one who would. Right amount of vocals, beautiful use of a happy hardcore stab with a happy hook, and the owl city melody just simply works. Very well written and produced.
No one singing about love , peace or bollocks, energy is really high, and this girl is a good vocalist whoever she is.
Well done Mr Storm, and probably the first thing Euphony's done I can say I liked. If this is the way hardcore is going to move, I actually sense a revival and a comeback of sorts, and I might actually start listening to it again.
This clip sounds fine to me, earlier someone was talking about the mastering, and showed the levels looking like they were slammed into a brickwall limiter, can't say I hear that here, seems fine to me, not hearing distortion at high levels, although YT alters audio IIRC.
