Album Review: Lost In Music (Will Rees Remix) by Gai Barone
Gai Barone’s Lost In Music (Will Rees Remix) is a gem from the Pure Trance Recordings label, dropping in 2018 with a vibe that screams UK trance at its finest. It's not just another remix; it's a journey. With Will Rees stepping up to rework the original, this release brings something fresh yet deeply rooted in classic trance energy.
The standout track here is, no surprise, the Lost In Music (Will Rees Extended Remix). Clocking in at just over 8 minutes, it’s got that perfect balance of build-up and payoff. The intro pulls you in slow—soft synths, a steady kick drum, and this sorta dreamy atmosphere that feels like cruising down an empty highway at night. Around the three-minute mark, things start to shift. A shimmering arp line sneaks in, and suddenly you're fully hooked. By the time the drop hits, it’s euphoric. Not too in-your-face but powerful enough to make your chest buzz if you’ve got good headphones on. This one sticks because it’s layered without being overwhelming, kinda like a well-crafted story where every detail matters.
Another moment worth mentioning comes midway through when the breakdown hits. It strips everything back to these delicate pads and a haunting vocal snippet repeating “lost in music.” Feels intimate, almost like the track is whispering directly to you. Then—boom—the bassline roars back in, and you’re reminded why trance fans keep coming back for more. It’s emotional but also kinda raw, y’know? Like it’s unafraid to show its soul.
What makes this remix special isn’t just how polished it sounds—it’s how human it feels. Sure, it ticks all the boxes for electronic music lovers: tight production, clever sound design, and plenty of energy. But there’s also this sense of nostalgia running through it, even though it’s modern as hell. Maybe it’s the way Will Rees respects the essence of Gai Barone’s original while adding his own twist. Or maybe it’s just that killer melody looped throughout that refuses to leave your head.
Thinking about it now, listening to this album feels like revisiting an old friend who somehow gets cooler every time you see them. If I had to nitpick, I’d say some parts could lean harder into unpredictability. But honestly? That might ruin the charm.
Final thought: This remix doesn’t just remind me why I love trance—it reminds me why music itself can feel like home. Oh, and fun fact—I still can’t listen to this without air-drumming like a total dork. Try it. You’ll see what I mean.
