- Sebastian Kramer looks to his live sets for inspiration. He's made some of the most powerful tunes in his catalogue by rebuilding tracks from performances. With "Blink," which has been part of his set in some form for over two years, the trend looks to continue. But this time Kramer struggles to translate the dynamism of a live performance onto record.
The nearly ten-minute track has the makings of an anthem. There's an insistent synth lead, heart-tugging arps and a dramatic breakdown, but as much ground as the track covers, it doesn't feel like it goes anywhere. It stays flat with little in the way of tension or build-up. The "Tunnel Mix," inspired by the Paris club of the same name, doesn't help things, giving "Blink" a serviceable big-room makeover without much pizazz. Blink aims for the rafters but never gets off the ground.
