'Couldn't agree more. Everything Krys Klyven touches turns to gold. Check out

Faithealers' remix of Spies' "Wide Shot" and, of course, the EON Project/UX

Review:

 

I've not heard of Faithealers before, but their music is very full-on with

tons and tons of samples happening at once. If you dislike minimal stuff,

pay attention. =)

Sacred Hearts is very full sounding. It's hard to describe because there's

so much going on. The melody is the same for half of the record or so, but

then other melodies are laid on top of it, and taken away when the song

almost completely changes direction. I love this music, but if you are a DJ,

get ready to work your ass off to try and mix this stuff. =) It has a

central pattern of synths/kick to it, but absolutely everything around that

changes constantly. There's too much to comprehend! Ahh! The song also cuts

out really fast, which might be another annoyance to DJs.

 

Optical Dreams is a little more controlled sounding, but no less full

sounding. It opens with sounds of waves and birds and a deep bass

atmospheric synth, holds you there, before firing your mind into space at

light speed. The percussion is very full and has a very bassy kick. Then

congas are laid over that for more percussion, and.. What's that feeling?? I

have to dance!! The song pulls back to let you recover from the initial

shock of being flung into some other galaxy, gets funky for a second, then

brings on hardcore death metal samples!! That receeds, and then builds up to

play a powerful flute melody to remind you of your mother earth while still

kicking your ass with the guitars.

 

This artist has done an extremely well job and moved me with their music,

and for that, I can give them no less than 10/10. I can't wait to hear more

from them. =)

I just love this EP especially Sacred Hearts....and you are right...it is

really hard to choose something to play after this absolutely psychedelic

madness )

This was just too heavy metal style for me. When i listened to it in the store

i didn't really like it.

I heard one of the tracks at a party though and it was impressive. It was just

about as the party was peaking and the dancefloor was rocking. But i don't

think its for listening to at home.

I just want to say, don´t forget listen Kiwa-project.

Becouse Markku Louhio doing that band him self with Matti Elsinen. Kris Kylven

are really nice guy and his music are very professional industrial trance.

I just like little bit of more drum and bass psychedelic disco elektric boogie.

But in the gigs when Kris play´s all night his drum´s people including me are

going to crazy....(To the another world) Really good!

Exelent! Super music!

 

Love to: Faithealers and Kiwa-project

A gem if you are into this kind of sound (definatly experimental kind of

trance). Faithealers releases good music and this is an interested record to

say the least. I don't always pack it for every gig but I think it could be

possible for this record to be the peak of a mix depending on the type of

listener(s) and dancer(s). Gotta love the nice beats, dolphin samples, and

experimental guitar trance. Also an event more experimental but definatly in

the good sense of the word industrialish (Haujobb samples?) on the flip. This

is eclectic music but thats becaues Faithealers is just cool like that
