Trivia

* The track's title is also the track's time signature: rather than a conventional 4x4 beat, Rank 1 opted for a 7/8th time signature. Confused? Count the claps in the breakdown per melody loop: there are 14 rather than 16 hits. ;) * The hype surrounding "7 Instead Of 8" directly LED (hehehe) to the creation of "Elements Of Nature" (2013)! M.I.K.E. himself was praising Rank 1 on Twitter for 'bringing back the oldskool' with this instant Classic when a Trance fan called Ramball0 joined in the conversation and urged these two Legends to make a track together. The guys instantly agreed, sparking a huge wave of anticipation for one of the most Titanic team-ups Trance music had ever seen. Just a couple of weeks later "Elements Of Nature" saw light of day and in 2015 it would be succeeded by siblings "Juno" and "Zenith"! * 7 Instead Of 8 was Rank 1's first solo track in a while, since "Symfo" (2009) to be exact. * Armin van Buuren picked 7 Instead Of 8 as Tune Of The Week on Episode #583 of his A State Of Trance radioshow which aired on Thursday October 18th, 2012.
