With their love for super-dramatic arrangements and spine-tingling climaxes, Above & Beyond are devoted to keeping the ecstatic sound of classic trance alive. The UK trio’s latest album, We Are All We Need, sticks largely to their signature slick and sparkling style, throwing in some stomping EDM bass drops along the way. But We Are All We Need isn’t just a collection of club cuts disguised as an album. Joined by a typically top-shelf selection of guest vocalists, Above & Beyond once again blur the line between DJ-friendly trance grooves and home-listening electronica, with shimmering downtempo tunes like “Little Something” offering a chance to chill between the album’s peaks.
