The story behind "Spiral" with Robert Nickson | Muzikxpress 074

Subscribe ► / muzikxpress
In 2004 Robert Nickson's debut solo release "Spiral" came out. A beautiful trance track which got released on "A State Of Trance", one of the sub-labels of Armin van Buuren's "Armada Music". The track turns 15 this year and is considered as one of the biggest classics on the ASOT label.
Another thing that makes 2019 a special year for Robert Nickson is the fact that his first solo artist album "Tellurian" comes out via Black Hole Recordings!
So, a good reason to visit Robert in his studio in Haarlem (The Netherlands), to talk with him about the story behind "Spiral" and of course to find out more about his "Tellurian" album as well!
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

    Ever since I first heard that track, it was literally imprinted in my brain. Lost the songs name and producer over the years, but never forgot the melody, sometimes randomly humming it not even knowing why. Even today, it still sends shivers down my spine. Was so f*kin happy to rediscover it with the 2015 version! But I still think the original is best, its timeless :)

    Spiral was possibly my favorite track from A State Of Trance 2004! After 1st listen it didn't really stick out in the compilation as one of the gems. I actually in a sense discovered the track years later and thought to myself, "this is totally amazing!" Definitely one of tge Top 100 Trance Tracks Of All Time!

    I remember Armin saying that about Spiral. ASOT Episode 128. Then we went to see Armin spin live at The Quest in Minneapolis in 2003. He closed his set with Spiral and then went into Envio - Time to Say Goodbye. 4 hour set of pure trance, pure energy. I’ll never forget that night. The club was so in sync with him, the flow of the entire set was surreal. The golden era of trance. ❤️💯👍🏻🥂

    haha that's very interesting to hear Robert Nickson also into the synthwave scene. I've been into that scene probably around 2011 shortly before the film Drive came out. I've made friends with some of them along the way too. If you need some suggestions, I'd be glad to forward some of my favorite tracks. But more on topic, I loved Out There and Spiral when they came out. I was curious for Out There, the "5th Dimension" track was the instrumental version that released/produced first or the other way around?

    There is no "Reason" to fret anymore. Since now he can soon use Reason 11 as a VST plugged into Logic or whatever DAW he have back there in the background, since it since version 11 will be availible as a VST. Personally however im going from Ableton to the genious Bitwig Studio! Sorry for straying away from the musicicial subjects, onto the more technical. Some of us producers cant help it at its moments.. (Ohhh by the way, i just drank "Plantation Pinapple" Rum tonight. - Tastes like Heaven on Earth !!! You should try it !!! 👍 😄 👍
