Breeder - Rockstone FLAC download

I too, am bewildered at how this track flew below the radar. It's as strong as any other Breeder track, and with Breeder you don't get filler or re-hashed melodies, you get deep, driving progressive that took talent to create. On Disc 2 of Northern Exposure: Expeditions, this track just blows you away, and stands out in comparison to the rest of that disc. There's laid back, downtempo trance, and then there's trance that's made for a dance floor - this is the latter, and it does its job more than adequately.

'Rockstone' is my favorite Breeder production, though from the looks of it, many DJs were not in agreement with me at the time of it's release. 'Rockstone' only appeared on one DJ mix album that I know of (Northern Exposure Expeditions), whereas 'Twilo Thunder' and 'Tyrantanic' both appeared on in excess of ten mix albums. This is surprising considering what a great piece of music this is. A thunderous piece of deep progressive trance, textured with several layers of swirling melody, 'Rockstone' is ideal peak time material with a huge breakdown (an unfortunate trance cliché that miraculously WORKS here), and the inevitable and very rewarding pay-off. This is as good (and maybe even better) than anything Breeder has done, and deserves recognition as such.
