mahoney Posted June 10, 2001 Author Share Posted June 10, 2001 Synthetic - Metal Gear / 100% Pure Artist: Synthetic Title: Metal Gear / 100% Pure Label: Twisted Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. Metal Gear 02. 100% Pure Review: I saw that many of the visitors wanted more EP reviews, so here you people got atleast one. It´s a release that symbolises one of the new direction that Twisted records have been moving towards. I don´t wanna call it minimal, it´s more like dark pounding psychedelic Trance. The b side (100% Pure) consists of a dark psychedelic track with an excellent grooove. The first thing I really liked about this track was actually the rare groove and the second thing was the melody. The melody isn´t the cheesy type, more of a melody built up by twisted effect in an excellent way. There is also a lot of breaks, but they are not annoying in any way and there is also some other effect that pops up once in a while. This track isn´t good it´s great! The second story, Metal Gear, builds up with heaaaavy kickdrum and sharp percussions. The melody that comes up is very quirky in a dark and heavy way, kinda industrial, but still very psychedelic and mindbending. There is also some of thoose scary horror samples that you can hear in a lot of The Delta tracks. There is a lot of atmosphere coming true this track in a scary and dark way. It ends upp with some rattling percussions that sounds like rattling empty beer cans. Even if empty beer cans isn´t good in anyway it ends upp this release. With the rare groove and delicious ear candy the "100 % Pure" track delivers I can´t do anything but to recomend this release! Take care!

Guest Stormbringer Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 "Metal Gear" (8/10) is a true neighbourkiller! Turn up the volume on your stereo and let the people next door think it´s an earthquake ;-) "100%" (8/10) hasn´t got those lethal kicks but it´s a great track anyway with echoing percussions and grovy rhythm. This release is one of the best from Twisted Records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest djcpr[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 Both are allright tracks, but they both are really heavy on rhythm with little melody. These songs work excellent in the mix, both atmospheres can push mixes into the stratosphear. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
