This is our most recent collaboration with Seventh Element to date, an arrange of his composition Better, featuring powerful drums by Vincent Ramaekers. We decided to keep this version off vocal so as not to compromise the instruments, and because, quite simply, we were not sure how to go about it… Fun fact number one: …
