The Coldharbour LP is a tough act to follow, but Miami '05, while not as strikingly original, does a pretty good job. On this album, Schulz mixes continue to avoid the pat hyped, pumping sound that often dominates trance, opting instead for (what Schulz himself describes as) a sexy, hip-moving vibe. The intro track, "Blue Tubes," by Israeli-born trance wunderkind Itay Steinberg (aka Hydroid) is a wonderfully blissed-out and chilled-out preamble to an eclectic, alternately tranquil and uplifting group of mixes. On the tranquil side, there's a clever retooling of Lens' "Let the Light In" and a gorgeous revamping of "Quarter Century," by Canada's Sean Walsh. On the uplifting, euphoria-laced side of things, there are top-notch workouts of Amnesia's "Heaven Drops" and Fluid in Motion's "Soul Dimension." The Finland-meets-Singapore pedigree of the latter track (Fluid in Motion is producer Miika Kuisma and Singaporean Luke Chen) points to the eclectic, globe-encompassing nature of Schulz's work selections. Combined with his clever and original mixing abilities, Miami '05 adds up to one of the better trance releases during its titular year.
