The sound on this ep is far different than the minimal-techy Walhalla tracks

that I'm used to. Triplicate is fast paced and energetic with screeching cuts

to guide the journey. The rolling bassline is one that has been used many

times before, and is the one fault for the track. Besides that, a great

track!!! Fun and adventurous trax with one hell of a climax to set the party

on fire. Formantik Headache is way to monotonous with no real direction. Kind

of boring.

Overall...great ep but stick to Triplicate for all you psycho-needs! (8/10)

Review:

 

I don´t know much about Walhalla yet but I´m sure we´ll hear a lot from

C. Michaud & J. Regnier in the future. This ep, which must be one of

their first releases (they´ve released another one on Sub Machine too),

doesn´t sound groundbraking but it´s still very good. "Triplicate"

(9/10) is true to the french full-on-sound of Moon Spirits and 3D-Vision

which is energetic and pounding without to many cheesy melodies. I

really like this stuff which beats the crap out of you with a bpm well

over 150. Strange noises and a driving beat, what more can you possibly

need :-) Well... as I said, this isn´t anything new but it will sure

work on the dancefloor. "Formantik Headache" 6/10) is slower and lacks a

lot of energy compared to "Triplicate". The first 60% of the track is

something I could do without and that long pause before the last 40% of

the track sounds more like a intro than a break. If you´re into the

french sound you should buy this, you won´t be dissapointed. Atleast one

of the tracks is a killer.

I found those tracks boring while i had loved the previos tracks from Walhalla.

It seems those have been done in a hurry. too bad coz the potential is here!

Something around 5/10.

-Formantik Headache- has a strangely compelling effect on me every time I hear

it, those thunderous hypnotic synths that emerge after the evil sample are

simply mindblowing IMO. Definately listen to this if you appreciate Etnica

during their Equator period although it also vaguely resembles CHI-ADs

briljant Pathfinder 2000... -Triplicate- is a tad too linear, fast and

unadventurous for me, probably overdosed on the 3DVision style...
