Being an indispensable member in the Trance circuit for over a decade alone is not a valid excuse for the Dutch trance veteran, Marco Verkuylen, to stop taking over the world.
Marco V’s “Unprepared” is one of those tracks that defined 2009 as it had been featured in Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance Yearmix 2009, and the list continues. In November of the same year, V released his fourth artist album, “Propaganda Part 2” under his very own record label, In Charge.
Just recently, a single was released containing the extended mixes of two of his tracks from “Propaganda Part 2” namely, “How You Feeling?”, “Inconsistent Talk” and a revixed version of the latter. Without further delay, here are the tracks from Marco V’s “How You Feeling/ Inconsistent Talk” single release:
How You Feeling? (Extended Mix)
The track is initiated by a steady bass pattern similar to SvD/ Purple Haze’s “Bliksem” as the sawtooth samples try to find their ground. By 2:30 of the extended mix, the main riff enters— a little bit techy and dirty—melodies like this on the dance-floor invite its audience to clap along with the rhythm. After that, more sawtooth samples come in as the track steadily goes to an end. “How You Feeling?” is a simple, yet straightforward track.

Inconsistent Talk (Extended Mix)
Inconsistent Talk automatically became my favorite track just after 30 seconds of playing it. Actually, I first heard this on Marcus Schossow’s Tone Diary episode 301, and I knew this was something unique. First reason why I liked this is its main melody: the clashy melody, which is delayed and reverbed from time to time, pumps up the energy of the listener, preparing its listeners for the lethal climax.
Next, the climax is just sick, I do not know how Marco V did it, but it’s one monstrous tune, especially from 3:30 onwards. Moreover, the vocal samples also did a good job in sinking in the listener’s head. Just listen to it and find out what I am saying.

Inconsistent Talk (Revixed)
Almost having the same composition as the original one, the revixed version has more stomping kicks to it and more reverbs and delays.
The main riff also enters in a subtle manner increasing its volume from measure to measure. However, unlike the original, this does not have that monstrous tune I’ve been talking about; but nevertheless, this is revixed version serves as the “Diet Coke” to people who like their V tunes lighter and simpler.
