Rated: 95%
MCD magazine
==========================
Trance remain seductive if exclude the sparkling of progressive and spiral,
slow down its tempo and change range to go towards ambient and dub.
For that , we have the second album of Nick Miamis aka Side Liner.
A hypnotic and groovy album which give us the boarding pass from the first track.The voyage continues
undulating with luster melodies and quite round bass.
Higlights are "when the time has come" and "Monday Morning".Two titles very inspired!
The remixes from MLT and Zero Cult are following too.
From the other side comes Sunhize and the cooperation with Cydelix to boost the album with the risk to fall down to stereotypes while Hesius Dome and Arcane Trickster chose alternate the sonority to arabists and ambient groove.

Radio France Intertnational
===============================
"Once Upon A Time" picks up right where Side Liner's debut "Emotional
Diving" left off. With this new album, he find a place of lucid dreaming &
quiet contemplation in his rich tapestry of sounds. Galloping beats &
swirling rhythms adorn each piece alongside a plethora of otherworldly
textures. Besides the technical skills, there's lots of feeling here, and 10
tracks to explore, marvel at and spread the word about. A great find for
those who want a mind expanding, visionary musical time-trip.
Mushroom Magazine
===============================
"Side Liner, aka Nick Miamis from Athens, has released his second album - a multi talented guy, and surely well known to attentive mushroom readers as he has also designed one of our covers in the past. Musically speaking he also has a lot to offer: first class Downbeat with a Lounge attitude. With great sensitivity he seduces our senses and expands our perceptions. Breaks with a light Dub touch, an electronic groove and a very strong feel-good factor set Nick's music apart from the rest and form a perfect companion for travellers beyond the hecticness of our times."
Wakyo Japan
===============================
"What kind of a working environment does an artists use to make
music? It must have a big effect on the final musical product. Side
Liner, who lives amidst the beautiful blue Greek sky and ocean,
harnesses these natural elements into his music to make deep and
moving "mind traveling" music. This music helps people to forget the
hustle and bustle of city life by conveying the fullness of life to
stressed listeners and is definitely recommended."

===============================
"...Had to pass on the punter reaction for Side Liner's Once Upon A Time. That album is total magic! It's gotten quite a bit of positive feedback over here which is no small task considering the glut of chill compilations floating around at the moment. While the Australian market is still captured by the whole 'Ibiza chill' stereotype, punters are starting to look for that little bit more..."
