  1. & again how is it? I'm learning to trust your judgment over others
  2. Where is faze? Not sure whether to look forward to this or not. OTT but recent twisted releases have left me disappointed
  3. I never really noticed. I notice now that it's a bit shit but the cover is not that offensive
  4. Yep, in my TOP 5 fo shaw! Not sure what Suomi is to be honest
  5. believe me this is not a preconception. I put a lot more time into something I'm going to publicly criticize that praise as I know people will confront me on my opinion All I can say is that I do not like the big kick drum even on the dancefloor & as this album has the same (IMO) boring kick drum in every track it's quite obvious that I will find this boring. There are plenty of albums I don't like but I was more disappointed with this one because the music underneath is so good but ruined by something I really don't like. I have given this a lot of time and attention & I can now file it away in the knowledge that I am not missing anything that I would like/ There are things people like & things people don't & when things you don't like are in music often the music is ruined. Think too prominent basslines, lyrics, cheesy samples etc. I don't like big kick drums. In Asura's album that was in some tracks which I thought detracted from it a little bit. In this album that element I don't like is in every single track & therefore I got frustrated listening to something I found very boring. different strokes for different folks. I wont feel like I'm missing out on something as I have given this a thorough inspection as I really wanted to like it. There is quality in this guys work I just hope his next release is a chilled one without the kick (I'm selfish )
  6. all tracks have a heavy kicking Boom Boom Boom, the only difference is the BPM ranges from 140-145 Could you describe what differences you hear in the main beats? (not sub beats because I can hear these but they are stifled by the boom boom boom)
  7. Yeah, people NEED different tastes For me a journey must be perfect with nothing to distract me so if there is something out of place then I can't travel. Usually with Simon P's work that thing is his samples. They grate on my nerves & so I find it impossible to get lost in his tracks. Only the sample in LSD do I like but I could do without even that one
  8. Yeah, it sounds like he just Traced the pattern from one track to the next. Just to clarify my stance on this. Being a fan of minimal psy I am quite happy with repetitive & monotonous music. What bugs me about this I think, is that there is some really good music here but it is stifled by the beats. It could have been the best of the year but that one element for me has ruined the whole album and it wont even make my top 20 albums. I don't like this! I probably should have phrased it something more opinionated instead of this is a pretty boring album but to me it is boring & frustrating. I'm surprised that the same people who complain about fullon always having the same bassline aren't annoyed by the same thing with this album, only this time it's the beats. I also don't find this danceable, not many times did I feel my self moving when listening to this. No foot tapping, no head nodding. I think in a club this is a go & stand at the bar & chat someone up set. Sorry to all Prometheus fans if you can't accept that I don't like it but I've clearly given my reasons & if we all like the same things, this world would be very boring, wouldn't it? I obviously just can't get passed the beat
  9. Here's what I got yesterday in Shinjuku, I found a Psy Shop I'd been looking for for ages The Zero Cult album is shaping up to be one of my favourites of the year already. When it stops I just have to play it all over again
  10. That is wholly my point! The music otherwise is pretty sweet but, for me, it is ruined by using the same predictable beat in every track. In the Asura album the kick was not in every single track so in my ears it did not grate as much as in this album. As I said in my review, the 1st track is really good with this beat but after hearing it again & again & again throughout the whole album I got bored culminating in my frustration by the last track. I wish Prometheus would take this album, remove the beats, go back to the studio, work on more varied & intricate beats and the re-release this when it's ready.

    I do like this type of music and even on this album I thought 7 tracks, that's more than half were very good. i didn't like 5 tracks and place 11 I hated. i think this comes across in my review. if the whole album had been like those 7 I would like this more. i need to copy this without the tracks I don't like to make it more enjoyable to listen to. i like random and weird believe me but I find some of this just unpleasant.

    Well, I thought that enough of the tracks were psychedelic enough to deserve a place here. there are many non-psy trance reviews on this site. did you miss the discussion about variation and stagnation in the psy scene. sorry if I'm a little shit with genres. if the mods think it's a problem then they can remove it but I believe this has as much place here as many other albums reviewed. if you (re)read my review you'll notice I didn't call this album industrial. I merely mentioned some industrial noises in 2 tracks and sorry if you disagree but some of the tracks I think are real crap.

    Yeah, I got the whole places thing but the places could have gone in a nice formation rather than just heaven hell heaven hell heaven hell like these did. Some sublime tracks yes but those that are bad I think are really bad! and yeah, place 11 WTF??!?!?
  14. Prometheus Corridor of Mirrors Twisted Records 2007 Tracklist 1 Arcadia Magik (8:51) 2 One Cell Short Of A Brain (6:50) 3 Drug Sock (7:37) 4 The Logic Of The Polyphonic (8:19) 5 9th (The Man Who Swam Through A Speaker) (8:08) 6 Soma (7:38) 7 Oz (7:35) 8 Cherry Pie (8:46) Well, there was a lot of hype surrounding this album. I heard just how amazing it was from many different sources & how crap it was from just one. So after many months of trying to get into it & see the magic, who was right, the enthusiasts or the naysayers? Let's take a lookl 1. Arcadia Magik Starts with a nice twisting bass melody before nice trippy beats come in. The stabs of acid are nice as are the little synth rushes in the background. The melody changes just as the beat really drops & elevates this track to really trancey. It's actually a really good psychedelic track with lots of layers that unfold after time. I didn't get it when I first heard it but it grew on me over time & while not a groundbreaking masterpiece it's a nice track. 2. One Cell Short of a Brain A fast start with lots of percussion coming from a high pitch source. Weird sounds drop into the beat which is exactly the same beat as the last track. The chime like percussion stays fro a while but eventually leaves & now we are left with quite a pedestrian track. The beat is the same as Arcadia Magik which is disappointing. There are some interesting sounds in the background & it sounds trancey but it's too similar to the opening track that I can't help but feel disappointed. Maybe Prometheus should have separated these tracks a little more. It's good but too similar. 3. Drug Shock Annoying sample at the start. There really is no need for this in my opinion. It puts me off the rest of the track which to be fair is pretty good. It has the same beat again but the rest of the track is very nice indeed. Good sounds, interesting noises, fair bass & on occasion an extra dimension to the kick drum with a following snare which manages to roll later on. Even later on the melody is really trippy & cool. But under all of it is that same kick drum. Boring Boring Kick drum I am begging for something different. This would be a great track if it dropped the crap sample & used something other than the predictable drum. 4. The Logic of the Polyphonic A vocal sample twisted enough to be bearable but not brilliant enough to be memorable. When it leaves though we have a really nice track. The beat while familiar is a little different from the previous tracks. It's lighter & lets the music breathe a lot more that previously. The other sounds are more prominent & you can hear the changes in the melody & the synths as the play about up & down & build. The beats try to become as boring as before but when they do they cut out & then it gets really trancey. A huge trance melody comes in & it feels like Gatecrasher on new years eve when they actually have some good music playing! Half way between trance & psy. Best on the album. 5. 9th-(The Man Who Swam Through A Speaker) This starts with what could be from some 70's epic & then guess what kicks in! That's right children the most predictable of kick drums. Yawn! This beat is really tiresome & it's a shame because the rest of the music is really good. The creaks, the bass, the acid & bits of melody are all really cool as is the orchestral feel and it's these that save this track from mediocrity. It could have been great but the predictable kick makes it only good 6. Soma I'm getting tired of repeating myself. In short. Bad sample, bad kick drum. The drone in the background is nice & adds a lot of atmosphere if you focus on it but it's pretty much hard to with that kick. Pretty boring track. 7. Oz Oh my god! I didn't think they would take the most boring characteristic on this album & then just highlight it but Prometheus did on this track. The beat, exactly the same as on all the other tracks but with less surrounding it at the start to really make it stand out. The sounds introduced later are okay but nothing special & I find this a very boring track overall. 8. Cherry Pie By this point I've given up listening. This might be the best track ever but I can't hear it because of that FUCKING LAME BEAT!!!! Can't you think of anything different? It's the same shit through the whole album & after the first track I was bored of it. At least there's no cheesy sample...Oh wait! So in the end I feel like this is a pretty bad album. It could have been really good but it seems that Prometheus has no idea when it comes to beats. The same predictable beat in every single bloody track. The only track that is bearable is the first track (because the beat is in their for the 1st time) & The Logic of the Polyphonic (because the beat is slightly more subdued). This track is my case in point of the whole album because this track is really good. The beat is quieter & this gives the music room to breathe. Please please could someone send me a copy of this album remixed with better beats. Then it would be superb but as it stands I think it is crap. Sorry but I do. Why do I still buy Twisted's releases? I can't remember the last album I liked. I will stick to their downbeat releases in the future I think, which reminds me....Prometheus' chilled stuff was so good as is his music other than that kick drum so I will still anticipate an chill album from this guy eagerly. But not a trance album again. Wish I had listened to this before buying
  15. Here are mine. not in order Sienis - Form Another Perspective Best track on the whole album. It all comes together. The grim fairy tale feel, the nuttiness, the ambience in the background & yes yes yes the bassline is so amazingly fantastic that when it comes in I can do anything else, I can't talk I can't walk straight I can't see. All I can do is smile & dance. Every part of me wants to move. Even when I'm sat down I can feel myself dancing! I think this is probably my favourite track of 2007. It's so infectious. I just want to listen to it again & again & again. I could probably have this on repeat at a party & be happy for hours I only wish it was longer. Prosect - Dr. Ivan & The Mad Peyote With a track title so unbelievably shit you know that the music is either going to be undeniably shit or so fucked up & crazy that you just can't get enough.....so....which way is it? Well, the answer is thankfully the latter. This is some crazy psychedelic, technological madness. Trippy, acidic, strange, fun, weird, better make sure that nobody's watching you dance to this crazy stuff are all worthy adjectives. I've not heard this on the dancefloor but I'm sure it would be a challenge. It stops & starts without any constant rhythm but it keeps going. I don't see any psy lovers leaving the dancefloor when this comes on but I don see a lot of confused bodies at least from those not entirely wasted! Crazy craziness with a degree in crazology from the university of south madsley in craze london! Asura - Golgotha A soft dreamy opening with a lush drone & a drawn out ethnic melody leads into a heavy tribal beat. The melody continues & evolves then around the 3 and a half minute mark a long synth gives this track a vast feel. I feel like this track belongs in the sound track to some epic. I feel as if I'm stood on a hill watching an army charge towards me but safe in the knowledge that I can't be hurt. The melody changes from flute to voice almost noticeably. Asura - La Chanson De Carla Love this track! A Beautiful melody & gorgeous vocal. It seems lovely & lonely. It reminds me of nostalgia for an old girlfriends I mistakenly left behind on my journey in life & is now lost to me forever. At the same time it keeps up the celestial atmosphere of the rest of the album Life2 & is a great and to a great album. Sync24 - White Pixels Whatever choice we made this track makes us feel like it was the right decision. It takes us & wraps us in it's warm embrace. The most melodious so far & is quite beautiful in a melancholic kind of way. A female voice gives us the message The shadow of Earth can't block the radiation. White pixels shimmering as dying stars. Like thin Smoke trailing through the memory of someone still alive. Even now, white does not equal death. before a steady beat comes & takes us on another stage of the journey. Leaving behind the stark countryside into something more vibrant & alive. (val)Liam - Perfectly Rational I'm really looking forward to hearing more from this guy judging from the strength of his 2 tracks on Intermittent Memories. This one has a nice relaxed natural feel. The use of piano seems to Earth this track giving it a much more terrestrial feel. Like awaking from a dream about alien worlds to a warm Earth autumn morning. Solar Fields - Air Song (Androcell Remix) I wanted to see what Androcell could do with one of the greatest pieces of music ever made. It is basically everything a remix should be. It sounds very different from the original while still keeping some of the core aspects (in this case the slight melody) to make it recognisable. The beats are bigger, there is more energy & there is a vocal in it. A good remix, incomparable to the original because they are so different. Well done Androcell! Vataff Project - Plasticine Bird Love this track. The longest on the comp at over 10 minutes & we've made the transition from downbeat to more ambient sounds. There are still a few beats but they are very minimal & the ambient drone is at the forefront of the track. A minimal melody is very nice and interspersed with little 'plop' sounds. A very nice track. I especially like the waaaaahhhh drones later on Spielerei & Mantacoup - Between Hope & Fear An irregular beat & an irregular melody from the darkness both sound like hopeless hope from an uncertain future. This track oozes dark, bleak despair but offers hope at every turn. Of each turn of hope though, fear & despair grab at my boot heels & try to pull me down. The beats pull down, the piano pulls down, the drone pulls down & there is no hope left, only fear until out of nowhere comes our saviour. A melody almost lost in the sea of negativity but bright & sharp enough to push up with new life. An acorn sprouts from the earth & tries to grow, just to chopped down by a nuclear fallout, never to stand tall! Spielerei & Mantacoup - After The Shockwave Something is trying to grow in the wasteland. Something from nothing but still the nuclear wind tries to destroy everything that might be. Can anything prevail after the nuclear winter has descended? Still, something wants to grow but it's not organic. Industrial growth is all that prevails & it needs no organic help. The nuclear winds have stripped the earth of it's weak organisms & left it with only machines that have a strong desire to survive. They picked up on our final wishes, our desire to continue our life no matter the cost. But with no human life left it's up to our technology to survive, rebuild, evolve & fight each other. A cold dead world alive with nothing but the shadow of mankind. This is all that is left after mankind's need to protect itself. Younger Brother - Psychic Gibbon After the greatness of the first track on The Last Days of Gravity then the disappointment that followed I wasn't expecting this. This is exactly what I would have liked the whole album to be. Interesting & psychedelic without relying on crap samples from past movies. Instead it relies on melodies & structure. It builds it's way up to the vocal which (is not a sample) fits in naturally to the track. Very good stuff, the sort of track I replay after it's finished. Fizzy - Hymn in Honor of Symphonics I'll forgive the lazy spelling of Honour in the title & say that this is much more like it! Yes there is a baseline again but this time it fits in much better with the rest of the track, I don't feel like I've heard it a million times before & it makes me want to move & most of all it's not the main focal point of the entire fucking track. It's great to see someone nowadays who is able to make a 12+ minute trance track & have the skills to keep it interesting throughout. A slight breakdown followed by a sample "Hisashiburi dane" It's been a long time. Then it kicks in proper with such an angelic melody, random though it is a first it gains cohesiveness as it goes along and manages to melt my brain each time I hear it! After the melody comes driving synth lines that just poke red hot acid into my already melted brain! When an artist you've never heard of with such a silly name makes a piece of music good enough to put a smile on your face and give you optimism for the future of the scene it has to be a good thing. I just hope he becomes more well known within our small scene! Younger Brother - Happy Pills A nice chilled out melodic piece dripping with lovely psychedelic nuances. The beats are big but relaxed. Lots of space to move. The more intricate sub beats are nicer & an Indian melody gives way to a really nice 60's lounge melody. The whole track has the feel of a 60's smokers lounge just not crap. Sienis - Watt Duh Hekk?! The bom bom bom seems to have a resonance echo & the sounds shift from left to right in an off putting random way that makes you think your headphones are broken until the sounds fly around so much that they fill both sides. An incredibly infectious bassline which has made me look stupid at the train station trying to hold my desire to dance while waiting for the train. It's a small world after world is butchered by some weirdo freak in the breakdown before kicking back in with a completely different track. What the Hell happened? The Bizarreness is compounded by the return of the oscillating sounds from the right to the left randomly. Oh well 16% of the time it works everytime Eat Static - Brassneck The sample seems to describe Eat Static well, if you listen to the static then it fucks you up. Truer words have never been sampled. Another high octane track full of trippy alien weirdness with melodies that really take my brain to other dimensions. Dimensions of pure light, dimensions of energy & sound & back again. Solar Fields - Cruise A sublime ambient drone with a touch of melody in the background makes me feel everytime like this is going to be an ambient outro but as the beats trip in, that feeling drips away & is finally broken when the heavy bass stabs in & the beat, which now seems to have the foot eased off the pedal kicks in. The sound is back to the best heard on the album with the old school trance influences again. The synth build ups & the rave like break down putting me in the mood for some huge outdoor party 12 years ago but the melody rooting me right into 2007. Imagine a melodious rave track minus the cheesy cartoon sample plus modern production & you have this cruise. Bloody brilliant it is, the build ups are actually tense while being relaxing. Like waiting for something you really want while experiencing the next best thing. Sitting on a bean back waiting for someone to pass you the joint type stuff. This manages to sneak in the energy. You wait for a drop & suddenly it has just gone nuts without you realising it. Solar Fields - Brainbow The intro has little short stabs of acid bombarding the now crippled defenses of my cynicism. I have to admit that now I am in love with this music & want to have it's babies. As the beat kicks in I feel a small drop in my appreciation but when that melody comes in I just want to fall to the floor in joy. It's difficult to describe just how this melody sounds but it feels like it is covering me. All around me is a beautiful fog of music representing this music. It hums & chimes & rings & echoes through the smoke rings of my inner being & far out into the ether of the universe. When it leaves I feel the darkness with the light acid sounds lighting up the black sky. The melody creeps back in however with the re:emergence of the beat I had not noticed for the last few minutes. The times with the melody are almost orgasmic & those times when it's not there leave you waiting for it, wanting it, desiring it to enter your mind again & bring you the light & the colour that has been missing from your life. Am I getting across just how good this melody is? It is a pretty simple melody but damn it's infectious & if it was a woman I think I would already have proposed. The bassline in the final part of the track is a nice driving one & fits round the melody while the spacey goodness of all the other sounds just blow my mind deep into the wondrous hyperspace of music created by Solar Fields. Mind Blowing!! Solar Fields - Kick Back Straight in with the beat & straight in with little melodic runs which sound, I have to say, magical. Some of the best melody I've heard in ages & the fact that each time it comes in it's so short & then goes, it feels like I'm being teased. I sit here waiting for it to come in next. I'm so busy waiting that I miss, the synths starting but when I finally hear them & the bassline I am once again in awe. This is really how psy at this pace should sound. Beautifully spacey with a lot of space for the sounds to breath. The steady 4-4 is not oppressive which is such a relief as I was worried that a too heavy kick would be the downfall of this album but Magnus in my eyes is a genius when it comes to music & he's produced a bloody brilliant track here. When the melody morphs into a what reminds me of an old school trance (not psy) classic but yet not, I feel a sense of nostalgia while being so happy with the state of modern music. The atmosphere created in the final run sees this track move so incredibly deep I almost weep with joy. This, without a doubt must be one of the best tracks released this year, in any genre. Zero Cult - Part Of Rapture I can't imagine a more fitting title. The rapture that encompasses me with the melody on this track is utterly amazing. The Emotion driven into an electronic body is very impressive & above all the melody just rings out class. Mathias Grassow & Thomas Weiss - Language of Silence Sounds buzz & twinkle in this track, under the drone seems to be life in the outer reaches of nothingness. In the vastness of space between planets there is not much but in this track there seems to be at least single cell life. Something that the light bounces off of. A very nice floaty track, feels like I'm orbiting a huge star at a distance of over 100Au. So just in the distance can I see one light just brighter than the rest, but not obvious. Very cool Spacey ambient. Cymphonic - Unfoldment From nothingness unfolds into beauty. The track starts with minimal ambient drones. Adds extra sounds & static from nowhere as it evolves & eventually produces a melody that is worthy of a spring flower. Simple & soft but beautiful. Easily missed but worth catching. A track I wish was longer so I could enjoy the beauty more. Cymphonic - River Styx This really does manage to sound like a river on fire separating me from the lost souls damned to all eternity. The water seems to drip upwards like flames & from beyond these flames the cold wishes from the long deceased cry out in joyous anguish. As we float along though they fade more into the background and the longer this goes the closer to the bank we get until I feel like I'm just sitting on the shores of hell, listening to the sea of souls lap against my ankles. Amos - Fläktsystem This track is stunningly beautiful. The melody is one of melancholic ecstasy & the beat vibrates as it rolls through the track. If you are a fan of melancholic chill then you will more than like likely fall in love with this track. Makes me feel like I'm in the part of a movie where everything in my life has fallen apart & all I can do is wander slowly around the city & see all the people going about there business totally unaware of my inner pain. Beautiful stuff. Subgardens - Asleep Clockmaker Well, I had some really high hopes for this track after the brilliance of listen to the flowers grow & Subgardens manages to keep their hundred percent record with this track. Weird slick beats & rushes in the background make room for a lovely cold melody that falls all around me. It feels like standing in the middle of my field with snow all over the ground and a gentle snowfall coming down. I like the beats that Subgardens keep coming out with. Something different from you usual beats. More glitchy with echo, reverb or something damn good done to them. Would love to hear more from these guys. I've not heard everything so I'm sure it will change anyway
  16. Sure! recent albums that have not had the time to become classic but that you think will be many years down the line.

    Kattoo - Places

    Kattoo Places Hymen Records 2004 Tracklist 1 Place1 (5:15) 2 Place2 (4:32) 3 Place3 (5:59) 4 Place4 (5:12) 5 Place5 (4:51) 6 Place6 (6:23) 7 Place7 (3:34) 8 Place8 (4:30) 9 Place9 (6:00) 10 Place10 (4:47) 11 Place11 (7:44) 12 Re-Place7 (Rmx By Flaque) (4:46) I remember someone telling me how great this album was so when I saw it cheap in a shop I picked it up. I'm glad I got it, it has some nice stuff, but I'm glad I didn't pay much for it as there is some really bad stuff too. 1. Place 1 From the vocal over the loud speaker to the squelchy beats to the subtle melody & long soft drone in the background this track sets a nice warm summer atmosphere. Feels like dew on a summer morning. 2. Place 2 A siren, the scene of a crime, the panting of a criminal & the sounds of a chase ending in a shooting. Instantly we are in a new place miles from the last place. This place is an urban ghetto. The beats are much more street & the vocals much more in the turntablist vein. I like the bass in this track, it carries what would be an average track into an urban dream. 3. Place 3 A much darker place now, a very sinister sample & drone like the dark ages. All the sounds here are grander & I'm put in mind of a secret underground hall used by a secret & sinister organisation. The mood changes as the people fill up the hall, the mood is serene but always with an undercurrent of bad intentions. This is a little slow to get going but when the melody comes in halfway through it turns into one of the best downbeat tracks I've heard recently. In the first few listens of this CD, this track always passed under my radar but as I focused on it, it's sheer magnitude shone. Great track. 4. Place 4 Transported again miles away. To a windswept moor in the middle of the night. Dark bolts of electricity come from the sky, once, twice then the scene explodes as this track turns into some hideous metal nightmare. I don't like this at all, it's noisy & crap. When the metal beats go it is much better but they spoil the whole thing for me. To harsh, not intricate just too much. Poor Track 5. Place 5 Sings Nightingale with the pitch control being messed with. This continues as the beats come in & some nice windy drones in the background. Soft guitar & shuffling beats are so much nicer than the place we went before. Towards the end the beats increase into a breakbeat & a good one at that. The melody at this time is really moving too. I like this place. 6. Place 6 Another harsh industrial place. The beats are utterly random & don't get into any kind of rhythm for a while. When kattoo does this it doesn't really feel like music to me. Just crap annoying noise. When the beats do even out it's a bit better & there is a melody hidden in the background which is pretty nice but the beats go all shit again & I have to say I don't like this track, it's pretty poor. The end is the only really decent part of it. 7. Place 7 A dark oppressive drone & sinister industrial noises. The intro is an impressive example of dark ambient. Suddenly there are fast hard beats. Random but ordered it seems that they fit even though they shouldn't. Sounds like a lot of the venetian snares' material that I've heard. Fast paced changes with no story or point. The dark ambient in the background is easily the best thing here & I'd like to have this track without the beats. 8. Place 8 The Batman The Movie samples add a dark (in a Tim Burton way) touch to this whereas the melody is a beautiful melancholy & the sounds of children playing in the background really sets the reminiscent mood. When listening to this track I feel like I should be thinking of my past with a big grin on my face & it does conjure for me many happy memories. This track is worth the purchase of this album alone. This is a fantastic track, very emotional, melancholic & nostalgic. 9. Place 9 This next place is darker again, a garden at night somewhere in Asia. I can hear the wind chimes sounding in the wind & the creaking of a wooden walkway as someone comes out to the garden. There tries to be a beat but it doesn't really materialise into anything more than a random nuisance. This would have been a lot better without them. This could be a really nice ambient track but those attempts at beats ruin it. 10. Place 10 Now I'm standing on the shore, listening to tide come in. The beats come in and chase away the atmosphere. It's still noticeable in the background & gives the track a nice outside air to it. When the organ comes in & I can hear the plane screech overhead I feel the track has taken a step deeper & when the melody comes in it a lush melancholic one. Very nice how it evolves as with the evolution of the whole track. Like a miniature fable in music. Very nice track. 11. Place 11 Okay, this is just awful. It's just a German guy talking. That's it, no music. No melody, no rhythm, no beats not atmosphere. At nearly 8 minutes, it is also the longest track on the album and is just.... Pointless crap. 12 Re-Place7 (Rmx By Flaque) The 1st few listen of this album I assumed that the drivel of place 11 was the end & turned it off & I completely missed this Remix of place 7. Now I wasn't too impressed with Place 7 so how is the remix. Well, it's everything I wish place 7 had been. A nice dark atmosphere with chilled beats that are ordered & intricate. Well this is really a mixed bag. As an album it doesn't have any flow. Some of the tracks are really good & Place 8 is worth the purchase but there are too many poor tracks to make this album one to listen to all the way through. If you want to make an IDM mix then buy this as there are some good tracks to put in one but if you are looking for a nice album then don't bother. There are 5 really poor tracks & they ruin the album. I skip whenever I play this & the album ends up being hard work rather than enjoyable. Good Tracks #1 #2 #3 #5 #8 #10 #12 <- all these are little psychedelic journeys Crap Tracks #4 #6 #7 #9 #11!!!! <- these are just crap
  18. I am here Guess who I chose! Jikkenteki seems to make music that is suited right to my tastes OOOD makes quality stuff too though.
  19. I only listen to talk radio. I don't want to hear anyone else's music when I can choose my own
