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 the light of day and in 2015 it would be succeeded by siblings "Juno" and "Zenith"! Never underestimate the power of fan enthousiasm! :D |
❓ 7 Instead Of 8 was Rank 1's first solo track in over three years time, since "Symfo" (2009) to be exact:
