Album Review: Lange - Harmonic Motion


There are albums that come and go, talents that fade quicker than their one-hit wonders and then there are the ones who cement themselves in the music world. Lange is here for the long run and Harmonic Motion is proof of that.

No rookie to the scene, Lange has proved time and time again why he’s monumental in the EDM world. Whether it’s his performance on the decks, his repertoir of hit remixes, original productions, and now 2 artist albums, he’s shown quality sustainability.

The album features an array of genres and to characterize it mainly as a trance album would be doing it an injustice. Lange exhibits an incredible ability to break genre boundaries without losing his trademark touch along the way; it is the creation of a man who thought outside the box and brought new meaning to the word originality. He created something wonderfully unexpected and that, to us, is the definition of an artist.

The album features vocals by Emma Hewitt on the hit single Live Forever (a personal favourite), Sarah Howells on Fireworks and Let It All Out, Betsie Larkin’s tenderness on All Around Me, The Hall of Mirrors on Angel, Alexander Klaus’ moving voice on Strong Believer, and Sarah Ozelle on Clouds Across The Sun. Lange gave these incredible vocalists a canvas and together they painted timeless masterpieces.

How Long made me want to sprint through a finish line and then take over the world in slow motion. It deserves to be a film score for a ground-breaking Academy Award-winning movie James Cameron hasn’t thought of yet.

Regardless of the genre you’re comfortably into, if you appreciate genuinely great music, Harmonic Motion is a must-have.
