w_lizzard Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Eventually Cybernetika is back with his new album N.N.E! I am so eager to listen to "deutscher" (did I spell it right?) Lar's tracks. Review is cooming soon Thanks for sharing your artistic point of you with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_lizzard Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 01. Trickster Trickster starts with some "mmmm" chick's sexy vocals (I wonder what's the movie title you get that sample! ). The bassline is very good and almost ordering your subconscious to follow its needs. The psychedelic effects and trance pads do very nice work in your head. Approximately at 04:24 bassline coming down and up again giving you a nice trip. (I hope you could do that again).And yes you do! We are at 05:40 the journey is about to begin I am sure. Approximately at 06:52 a nice trancy melody is taking place in the track. (Would it be better if you continue it and build it?) Rating: 7/10 02. Microchip Yes I remember this track from the Cosmic Flower's Christmas Compilation! ( http://cosmic-flower.freehostia.com/xmas2006.html ) The bassline is very nice, weird effects spinning in your mind and dark atmosphere takes you to "another world". Perfect track to open a dark psy set! Rating: 7/10 03. Medical-Science-Complex (System Shock Remix) I like the beginning of the track. Has to be a full-on psychedelic track I guess. Very nice hypno-trancy-thriller feeling strings are coming at 01:40. Oops the track is getting a bit weird and dark, definately it's not a full-on psychedelic one. Hmmm it is changing giving more energy at the middle of it. Excellent, this string is defining the character of the track. A very nice dark psychedelic melancholic trip. Rating: 8/10 04. 2653 Oh guys we are in the dark psychedelic area for sure. Aggressive bassline, effects and kick makes you to have a fight with your fellow dancer on the dancefloor! The pads gives you a great atmoshpere as Cybernetika knows better. And finally some dirty guitar at (06:00) is rocking on.Fight-Dance-Fight Rating: 8/10 05. First Contact A very good dark beggining! This track has a lot of energy. Nasty kick drum and effects playing with your mind here. You want to burn the dancefloor absolutely Lars. Yes play with the bassline there.Back and forth - Back and forth. I think it's the best dark track of the album till now. Rating: 9/10 06. Nebula Decay Let us hearing this decay of nebula. Dirty bassline is taking place very early.Maybe because we are in nebula? This is a more aggressive dark/cyber trance track than the previous. Rating: 7.5/10 07. No Communication Great beginning.You can feel a nice atmosphere. No Communication is energetic.Subconscious I order you to wake up now! Hmm nice trancy pads at 03:20!!! (Wondering if you make an ambient version of this one?). Rating 8.5/10 08. Valkyrie Lars is finishing his album with Valkyrie. A track with a lot of bmps, nasty up-your head kick drums, cyber vocals samples and swirling psycho effects and snare drums. Cybernetika here makes an experimental fine attempt to show us how dark melacholic atmospheric trance could be evolved. I like the underground feeling of Valkyrie. Sounds not for any ear. Great one!One of my favorites. Rating: 9/10 So here we are guys, Cybernetika is back for good with a mature dark atmospheric trance album "Neural Network Expansion". The production and compression is very good. The trip was absolutely very good and angry! Favorite tracks? 02. Microchip , 03. Medical-Science-Complex (System Shock Remix), 05 First Contact, 07. No Communication and 08. Valkyrie. Wish you all the best with your new album and thank you once again for sharing your music with us.

w_lizzard Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 So to see that I don't lie Mr Cybernetika I have just talked to the guy I was telling you about (I thanked him so much for just giving me the opportunity to talk about it!). I told him about your new album. He is very pleased to get some of your unreleased trax. So any time you think you can send me something I am here for you!

laboratory escapee Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 great stuff! clean sound, dark atmospheric without becoming horrortrance and without going berzerk on bpm's, and keeping it sweetly psychedelic and infective danceable and effective psychotropic at the same time... great stuff!!! thanx for sharing the fruit of your labour...

Psykosis Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Damn, why did I wait this long to check back with one of my favourite dark producers of the moment (as you have been for quite a while now, by the way)? Congratulations on the new album, man! Am torrenting it now, I'll listen to it as soon as I've got it, but already I'm sure I'll love it. If you ever bring it out on CD, let me know where I can buy it! Keep up the good work and the spirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chis Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Oh christ... what happened to you Cyb? Your first promo was really nice dark goa, but this stuff just sounds like the one-note bassline + sound-effect "psy" that Derango makes. Awful.

alleycat Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Chis: Derango huh? Most people would call that a compliment! Just as most people would be insulted to be compared to Safi Connection. Well, I haven't had a chance to listen to this one, but if its anything like the recent Cyb tracks Ive heard then its good! Thanks a ton, Lars, for the free stuff!

Chis Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Chis: Derango huh? Most people would call that a compliment! I'll bet none of them can write melodies. Isentropic, then? Nope, thought not. Just as most people would be insulted to be compared to Safi Connection. To those people: Your loss. Grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAH Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'll bet none of them can write melodies. Isentropic, then? Nope, thought not. no? how about Halava? Procs? Electrypnose? Ocelot then? Penta perhaps? If you are going to look for 'dark' to bash then stop naming derivative acts and go to the source. To those people: Your loss. Grow up. we did man, a lot of these main acts have a very good idea of writing a cheesy ass line to peak on your 7th roll of the night... and they were looking for something a little more complex just like cybernetika and that effort needs to be applauded.

Guest Rezwalker Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Chis: Derango huh? Most people would call that a compliment! In case the album sounds indeed like Derango, then this is insult and not a compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chis Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 no? how about Halava? Procs? Electrypnose? Ocelot then? Penta perhaps?

"More complex" in this case just seems to mean extra sound effects, tempo changes and breakdowns. All that stuff is fluff and nonsense if I can't even remember the track just after I listened to it! (Contrast that with Safi's wonderful "DNA" off Shout Aluma which will remain with me till I snuff it.) As for those other "dark" acts, look, I have no problem with dark styles in theory, and Cybernetika's first album release was in this style but still a lot more melodic than this new stuff. I liked it because of that. Which of Halava, Procs, Electrypnose, Ocelot and Penta actually bother to write some decent lead lines? Because that's what I look for in trance, be it goa, psy, progressive or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
