Falling Into the Sound: A Dive into “As You Fall (Kyau & Albert Remix)”
Alright, let’s talk about this gem from 2010 that still gives me goosebumps every time it kicks in. Bent’s As You Fall got a serious glow-up thanks to Kyau & Albert’s remix magic. Released under G&E Analogue in the UK, this progressive trance banger is one of those tracks you don’t just listen to—you feel it. Like, deep in your chest, where emotions and beats collide kind of feeling.
First up, the titular remix, As You Fall (Kyau & Albert Remix). Oh man, this thing is pure energy bottled up and shaken hard for your ears. It starts slow, teasing you with soft pads and an atmospheric build-up that feels like standing on the edge of something big. Then BAM—Kyau & Albert hit you with their signature euphoric drop, all lush synths and driving basslines. The melody? Sticky as hell. I swear, once it gets into your head, it camps out there for days. This isn’t background music; it’s the main event. If you’re not swaying or zoning out by the second breakdown, check your pulse—you might be broken.
Then there’s the radio edit version. Sure, some purists cringe at edits, but hear me out: sometimes less really is more. At just over four minutes, it strips down the original while keeping all the juicy bits intact. Perfect for when you need a quick fix without diving into the full eight-minute journey. Plus, it’s way easier to throw into a playlist without scaring off your non-trance friends. (You know who I’m talking about.)
What makes these tracks stick? Honestly, it’s how they balance dreaminess with raw power. Progressive trance can veer into snooze territory if done wrong, but Kyau & Albert nail it here. They keep things moving forward, layering sounds so subtly you barely notice until BAM—you’re floating. And yeah, maybe part of why I remember them so vividly is because I heard As You Fall during a road trip years ago. Driving through misty hills with this playing loud enough to rattle the windows? Iconic.
So yeah, credit where it’s due: Bent made a great track, but Kyau & Albert turned it into something unforgettable. Ten years later, and it still slaps harder than half the stuff coming out today. Makes you wonder what happened to electronic music along the way, doesn’t it? Maybe we traded soul for streams somewhere down the line.
Anyway, fun fact before I go: rumor has it Kyau almost quit producing before meeting Albert. Can you imagine? We’d have missed out on this masterpiece entirely. Wild, right? Music history dodged a bullet on that one.
