Two more TYFTH releases – this time we have high bpm freeform/hardcore, courtesy of Substanced and Betwixt & Between.
Colombia was included in last year’s NRG Monogatari 2 mix, but for those who don’t know it’s freeform with a strong hard trance feel. Substanced wants me to point out that this is a very old track, but personally I think the ‘rougher’ sound works really well this time, the Finnish style grinding synths sound that bit wilder and the track definitely has a lot of energy. It’s also a very handy tune for connecting dark and melodic freeform, so I was a bit surprised that it was never picked up for release. Hopefully this will get it some much-deserved play time.
Next is Eternally, which might be new to most people – it was actually the first Betwixt & Between track I heard, years and years ago. The style might be closer to hardcore than freeform, but it’s got elements of both, with the huge kick giving it a lot of power. It’s a long way from ‘modern Betwixt’, but listening to it again recently I remembered what a good track it is – it reminds me of some of the hardcore tunes that Nomic and Alek have made in the past, with plenty of acid and some great vocal samples. Look out especially for the bludgeoning melody/sequence at 3.30 – it made a pretty big impression when I heard it in one of Betwixt’s NRGetic Romancer sets. Something to note is that although I’ll always be aiming to make 320kbps tracks available, this one is 192. It’s quite a rare tune, so this is the best we have for now…absolutely fine for mixing though.
Big thanks once again to Substanced and Betwixt & Between. There might not be two tunes coming every week, but more are already on standby – I’ll be doing my best with some of the suggestions, too!
Thiis is awesome 🙂
Been waiting for hq version of Colombia a quite long time and finally I “found” it 😀
I’m not sure, but think I’ve heard the name “Eternally”, but ofc I haven’t heard it, so I’m looking forward to listen it 🙂
IMO tyfth is just the right place to share/release/give away/whatever old tunes. Although nowadays this isn’t a problem for finrg either, as we have seen old tunes are getting released there… which is awesome too 😀
@Jiipez> I couldn’t agree with you more! Since hearing Columbia on NRG Motogatari a few months ago, i’ve been looking for it.
I’ve not heard the BTW tune, but i’m really looking forward to it!!
Thanks again to Plasmadancer for getting this shit sorted. Legendary!

As well as Eternal Caannon, there’s an old RR-ThermalForce tune called Eternal, you might be thinking of that?
Hopefully the tunes on TYFTH will be old (but good) tunes that were overlooked for whatever reason before, and stuff from the newer guys that hasn’t been released anywhere..I’ll try to keep the quality high though 🙂

Don’t mention it…seems that there are enough people checking TYFTH now to make upping a few tunes worthwhile! Hope you like Eternally 🙂
I’m late, I know, but good job, Plasma!
Colombia is a really nice tune, no doubt. I always liked its epic melody and energy. 🙂
As for Eternally, I was honestly a tad disappointed. It’s a nice Hardcore track, no doubt, but I’d rather listen to a more “Freeformish” tune from him. I am aware that a Freeform track should be free of form, though. :p
At any rate, it’s interesting to see an older Betwixt & Between.

Yup, I thought people might have a different sort of tune in mind before they listened…but it’s still a really nice ‘hardcore’ track 🙂 There could well be some freeform from him in the near future though..
