Maybe my expectations where to great, but I didn't like this release that much, a bit boring for my taste 7/10. I didn't think this could happen but Freq’s style is boring me lately, Progressive has to be constantly evolving, and I don’t feel his style is changing at all

Get real, do you really think that progressive music is changing all the time??
To talk about that you will have to mean music in general. FREqs music will also undergo development as time goes, he is just releasing all those tracks he has been producing before and after his album, hes been productive because he has the skills to write something that catches in a high quality.

So called progresive music, what does that mean?? Is it a style or is it something that goes further in development from a point..If its a style then look 7 years back, some people say that progressive came after "Goa" / "psychedelic" trance became "Full-on" and up came scandinavian trance and the "progressive" side, more slower grooves in comparison.

The point is that development in music takes time and if you think progression has to be constant, well then its more fair to look at a period of atleast one or two albums.

I have to say that i respect Aran for the skills and many years of experience with the gear and his outstanding quality is hardly matched.

So basically what you're saying is that, although FREq makes some great quality tracks, you wouldn't like them just because they are similar in style to his latest album?? That's just bullshit and you're looking at music in a totally wrong way. Won't be a lot of music that you DO like then I suppose.

i think is not so bullshit.. first of all his first track i heard was on Sunday Session complation which is 128 bpm melodic massive number, then came few 135 bpm realy good tunes as Return of the masters, then a album which was nice but too melodic for my taste and since then his music became more and more full onish with few 140 trax with mess atmophere which is not my taste at all, for example his remix to Frogacult maked me smile again but more of his latest tunes builed up on same sounds as his old trax and ovelall atmosphere became much more similar to other psy acts.. Still his production is top notch, seems just first trax was too good to be compared to new once. anyway he is great producer for sure, no bullshit.
