Dub mixes aren't always an exact replica if original track. They sometimes cut parts out or extended certain parts. Dubs are made to sound like a standalone track and not necessarily just an instrumental of the vocal version.

I suppose it had that Brute sound. Although I thought it was better than Brute.

Armin has an alter-ego/moniker, "Gaia" which he uses to produce harder-edged synth trance. Forum members mentioned it was more in that style and I agree. He went for a more hard-edged trance track with those prominent synth-stabs. Glad he took this route and didn't make a pop-style copout.

I can see armin dropping this dub mix a lot in his live sets. It sounds like it would translate well with his crowd. I'll have to go see him soon, it's been a while. I've seen him at least 6 times or so and hearing him drop a track which has ayus name attached to it would be epic.

It's a bit strange that the most trance-like portions of the song were not in the preview, haha.

[Corvina]

Listened to the whole previews this afternoon.
Apart from Terminal being great, Lelio and Angel seem to be very interesting. Even though Angel sounds quite horrid I admit.
NOW & 4EVA sounds typical Ayu, could be bad or good in full. For now I'm not so hyped about it. What is forever love? I like the least, so generic, although a nice catchy melody.
With XOXO I actually don't know, what to think.... let's wait and see.

Thank you!
Gosh, I need this in HQ and with Ayu vocals I've been waiting for trance Ayu since ayu-mi-x 7 (*^*)
And I don't want to get dissapointed but I can't help it and I'm getting really excited for this album ^^

[channy]

I do have a feeling that we might get something like -Extended- and -Extended Instrumental- remix albums of the new album on iTunes or the like. The iTunes remix albums of ayu-mi-x 7 were much more enjoyable than the actual CD versions, so that would obviously be something to look forward to.

Wow this dub mix is sexy. Holla!

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

Wow that sounds fantastic^ can't wait for the Ayu version cos I'm sure ill prefer that even more haha!

[November4]

NOW & 4EVA is so much better in arrangements and production than anything on LOVE again! That ending and bridge! #dead

[Surreal17]

wow..Terminal dub version sounds great! Can't wait! It's going to be epic! i think somewhat similar to snowy kiss!

[owlflight]

I know this isn't the official full version song but DAMN! Production sounds slick and not half assed. I wish the thud smilie worked for me because honestly that was my first impression. Just overcome with awesomeness. I expect epic remixes!

[Zeke.]

Oh yeah I hadn't thought about remixes. Armins track may get the remix treatment from other big name djs.

[brener]

Terminal sounds like of those tracks that could easily fit a post-apocaliptic sci-fi atmosphere ^^

By the way he said that her new album would be dropped in June in Japan hahaha just a silly mistake

[November4]

His accent is so Dutch, ugh ugly. x3

Not necessarily a mistake in case that Armin already knows of an early iTunes release

Interesting, I'd never made that connection.

I really like everything so far, or rather there's nothing that I don't like, no monsters like FTL, no outstanding song so far either, the ending of "Now and 4EVA" is really nice.

[adantatu2]

(Almost) everyone is loving these songs, except Angel.

We're getting the songs but we don't know the name yet, ayu plz !!!

Are you serious? The dub mix is the instrumental version? That's terrible lol, the instrumentation is so amateur.

Here's to hoping your vocals are good on the whole song, Ayu...

edit: no way, the preview we got has different instrumentation. The dub mix is different, thank God.
