Nicholson feat Niki Mak 'To The Flame' (Charlotte’s Theme) (ART Recordings)
Carl Nicholson has been on the scene since trance’s heydey in the early 90s and has worked hard to remain relevant ever since, playing alongside the likes of Jules, PvD and Lisa Lashes, as well as Fatboy Slim, Frankie Knuckles and the Chemical Brothers. On this uplifting vocal trance record, he’s eluctant to let go of his roots: it’s got that old-school, big-room sound, featuring heartfelt female vocals and
a typically euphoric melody. He might not be not pushing things forward, but he’s making decent music, so we hope he just keeps going. 7/10
