Bear In Mind (Original Mix)
Some punching bassdrum set the pace while an heavy reverberated loop slides into the scene, creating an anticipation atmosphere along with the depth needed for the remaining percussion elements draw the background. The rhythmic chopped vocals announce the dynamic bassline, enlightening this tune together with the airy effects during the whole composition. Beautiful melodic voice of Jen grace the short lyrics, always with some warm delay effects applied. The breakdown is all about submerging to a dream atmosphere, giving the impression that it could all vanish into thin air within minutes – it’s that smooth! Great release for the lovers of vocal trance.

Bear In Mind (Cramp Mix)
Cramp’s rework empowers the progressive touch of the original with a prevailing crunchy drum rack, with a great loud snare and shiny cowbells growing the track bigger until the vocals drop in. Leaving the chopped vocals out of the composition, the breakdown enhances the piano line that sustain the dreamy atmosphere, which culminates in a stunning outburst for the pounding beats to be back.

Bear In Mind (Tom Noize Remix)
A harder take on the original with the punchy piercing kick drum that starts off the track, together with snippets of the vocals. The bassline is heavy and filthy and it hands a stunning dark touch to the composition. The obscurity is enlightened by the softness of the vocals and the melody brought by the piano lines – very clear in the huge breakdown. Tom Noize brings a completely different vibe from the original mix, aiming the big room trance atmosphere.

Damien S. vs Under
Dutch producer Damien S. is back with another superb track, for his first full release on Neuroscience. Damien has previously released on labels such as Infrasonic and Loverush Digital and Nukleuz, which has seen a host of massive support.

For this latest track, Damien has teamed up with the band Under, adding the amazing vocal of Jen Triano. Under have featured on the soundtrack for the TV series ‘Ugly Betty’.
