Review:

 

Well this is the first cd from PPS Project. This is pure tech-trance, sounds a

lot like The Delta but even harder. As you see this album only contains four

tracks, so I might aswell write about them all. Dream Cycle starts with some

sort of hymn, people singing and then a hard bass and a lot of psychedelic

sounds comes in. This evolves to a very nice rythm. Thats pretty much what

this album is imo, good rythm. Amanu Jacku reminds me of X-Dream with female

computer voices. Wave Drops sounds a bit softer. More clean I would say. It

has nice beats, even some tribal drums but still a lot of noise. Swamp Thing

ends this mini-cd with the hardest track. Well if you like really hard trance

or techno with nice rythm, this is something for you. This should be perfect

for the dance floor. Maybe not so good for home listening. Try The Delta

albums instead. Best tracks: 1,4. Final grade: 6.5/10.

no im not agree

 

the best is dream cycle of course and it is more clean than delta

its not bad but not that good...sometime boring and they dont have the techno

feel of midi miliz and so on...

the sound could be better to...i heard a new track by them that was much better

and slower with a much better kick.i give 6/10

I cannot see how this is even remotely similar to delta or x-dream. Sure, the

bass is fairly deep and its a 4x4 beat, but the overall structures of the

tracks are very different and the PPS tracks have a lot more "nutty psy" feel

than any delta track has ever had. I'd say this is more like releases from

french labels Turbo Trance or Sub Machine (especially sub004, Tetraktys). The

production isn't all too good but on a PA it'll work fine I believe. The only

track I really like is Dream Cycle, with it's horror movie mood and busy

soundstage. It's a semi-fresh sound from a rather new act, but they have

better stuff in them than this, such as their track on the Monarchie II

compilation. I recommend this EP to anyone who's into dark, busy full-on-ish

nightmusic. Considering that you get 4 tracks for the price of an ordinary 12"

or CD single, this gets a 6 out of 10 from me, so it's above average.

it seems to me like .....a bit of clean delta and some stuff of darksoho

 

very interesting for me

thats my opinion

[Quark]

very good "12.. Very hard and clean that's my opinion.. The "12 gets 9:10 from

me.. Bom Shankar..

[Guest icant[at]illgetspam[dot]com]

Perfect.

and im not just saying that. i hear alot of stuff. and this is good. really

good. i was arranging a small outdoor party a few days ago and put wave drops

on, let's say that.. it woke people up.

Extremely good and interesting, I pretty much second mad's opinions. Well worth

the money, actually this is better value than most full-length albums since

every track is a winner here, for half the price. Don't forget to check out

the new Hadshot-comp "Hosted Vol.2 -Red Square", two amazing PPS-Project

tracks on it too, plus some other goodies.

I don't quite understand all the mediocre reviews of this EP, since the A side

has two absolute killers on it (Dream Cycle and Amanu Jacku). Dream Cycle has

a great gothic atmosphere with creepy, choral effects, and a hard hitting

rhythm section. Amanu Jacku is techier with an absolutely punishing breakdown

with a sample of this guy screaming at the top of his lungs. Nice work! 9/10

from me.
