Review:

 

This is one of the most surprising CD's I got last year! The whole album is on

the dark side and not melodic, altough you can't call it minimal either... All

the songs (exept 9&10) are spiced with heavy, fast and hypnotic basslines...

the ones you want to hear during the night, the ones that keep you going

forever! Reviewing every song is not very relevant because most of the song

are in the same style... But there are a few standouts, specially number 4 is

a complete stormer!! It has a real cool sample with after the sample an insane

climax of noise...! Also number 6,7&8 are far above average! Number 9 is a

joke, I think it's made with E-Jay when the maker was 13... héhé, and the last

one is an ambient song, without any beats, so it's more an atmospheric piece!

All together this is a must have for all Hux Flux-style lovers!! I've been

told his last songs are even better, so wtach out for him! I give this CD

7,5/10 (because this sound is not really my cup of tea) Bom Shankar!

Hmm I heard it and can't really say I like it, I don't think you can compare it

with Hux Flux. It's dark but not haunting. It's a bit melodic, but not

challenging.

Not my piece of cake I guess though it should be great on the dancefloor.

High's: 'Sonic disturbance' and 'Black Beauty'. Low's: 'Rupert the Fish' and

'wonder hippie' 6.5/10

i think this artist is overrated .. i have had this cd for a few months now and

kept on listening and listening again to it to see if there's anything in it

that i like but to me it mainly sounds like a very boring and weak attempt at

imitating artists like for example double dragon ... this stuff is far from

the complex and psychedelic style of hux flux! in some tracks there are parts

that i like but then there are also other parts that disturb me, or there is

not enough progression .. and it sounds like he uses a linndrum machine or

something for all non-kick drums/percussion :P

still, some of the tracks on this cd suit the dancefloor pretty well i guess,

but most of it is mediocre .. 5/10

Hmmm... another minimalistic album out there... But wait, this one has one song

that absolutely drived me crazy!! Black Beauty is absolutely awesome!!! It's

the very first time that I actually prefer a minimalistic track to full-on!!

And the progression in minute 5 is great. At 5:24 you have some djembés

kicking in and then the full power of the song unleashes. It's a shame that

that track is the only one on the CD that's really good IMO. The rest sound

all the same, a little jazzy, but really not my thing... 5/10 Like I said,

Black Beauty is an excellent track, but if it weren't for that one I wouldn't

care less for this album.

Black beauty is an awesome track indeed (9/10). Except that it is too short. I

really would like to hear the rest of the album.

Dovla, shove it or I won't go to the next party with ya! :)))

Although this may sound amateurish, I love this shit!!! Let's admit it...

BOPumBOPum basslines suck but the ammount of raw synthetic distortions and

brutal abrasive, primitive sound effexxx which rip your ears and speakers are

a real thing if you want to terrorize deep jazzy house listeners when you

drive them in a car to a party :)))

This is some pretty cheesy but also extremely sick and twisted shite... I

probably like it so much because I like hardcore and gabber as well! And I

like to mention that I adore this shit it to Dovla every time, it makes him so

nervous because he got that CD :))))

Great album, and excellent quality in its own way.

Black beauty is simply amazing, and quite tripping, specially that break with

the chorus voice.

I would really like to listen to this music in a party. The bass is amazing

aswell.

seems to be mainly positive feedback here!

eevryone has to realsie that these trax werew written

along time ago, in the 97-99 period, so dont

be too harsh on them !

The new stuff has really grown up since this album

look out for the new album on SunDance Records

love, Franny : )

I listened to Black Beauty a few times, and I didn't find anyithing in it that

would make this track so good. It's boring I think...
