Album Review: This Will No Longer Be by Platunoff
Alright, let’s talk about This Will No Longer Be by Platunoff. Released back in 2015 on Sunstate Records outta the Netherlands, this album dives deep into the world of electronic music—specifically progressive trance and progressive house. If you're into those genres, buckle up, because this one's got some gems worth spinning.
First off, I gotta shout out the remixes. This isn’t just an album—it’s like a remix party where everyone brings their A-game. The track that really stuck with me? “This Will No Longer Be (Van Yorge Remix).” Man, it hits differently. Van Yorge takes the original vibe and cranks it up a notch, layering these lush, hypnotic beats under smooth synths. It’s the kind of tune that grabs your attention without screaming for it. You can almost picture yourself losing track of time in some dimly lit club, just vibing to this thing repeat after repeat.
Then there’s the Blufeld Remix. Oh man, this one’s wild. Blufeld does something magical here—he strips things down but keeps the energy alive. There’s this moment midway through when the bassline drops, and honestly? It feels like being hit with a wave at the beach. Unexpected, kinda overwhelming, but also totally exhilarating. That remix alone makes me wanna dig deeper into Blufeld’s other work. Whoever said remixes are just rehashes clearly hasn’t heard this yet.
The Original Mix is solid too—it lays the groundwork for all the remix madness—but if I’m being honest, the remixes steal the show here. They take Platunoff’s vision and run with it, adding layers of personality and flair.
Reflecting on this album now, it’s funny how certain tracks stick with you while others fade away. Like, why do I remember the Van Yorge remix so vividly? Maybe it’s because it felt like exactly what I needed at the right moment. Or maybe it’s just THAT good. Either way, albums like This Will No Longer Be remind us why electronic music keeps evolving—it never settles, always pushes boundaries. And hey, isn’t that what life’s about too?
So yeah, give this one a spin if you’re into progressive vibes or just want something fresh for your playlist. Who knows? You might find yourself zoning out to Van Yorge’s remix next time you're stuck in traffic.
