I really love this album...Listening to it now. I love Day One and The last part of the outro. The Guitar riff in Day One is sampled from Steve Khan, a few months ago I went on a GoodWill shopping spree (Thrift Store) and picked up a bunch of records for like 50 cents each. Also the "hidden Track" in outro is sampled from Thomas Bangalter's Gym Tonic, i believe, just sped up. Overall an awesome CD!! Highly Recomended

While most soundtracks are meant to elicit emotions as an accompaniment to what's on screen, Deadly Avenger's DEEP RED evokes movies that don't yet exist. Cinematic and breathtaking in schope, the album mixes the best parts of Ennio Morricone, John Williams and Goblin together in a beat blender. Even though the actual movie references are there ("The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3," blaxploitation, Italian giallo), the music creates its own imagery. Thus, we have the majestic string-and-horn section of "We Took Pelham" to the sly "In Search of the Pimpmobile." The swirling, spooky “Blade” slices and dices with intrigue and complexity, while “Day One” sets a house groove on some good ol’ funk. “The Quest, Pt. 2” has a sample of haunting vocals reminiscent of The Future Sound of London’s classic “My Kingdom,” and “Love Sounds” throws tired R&B ballads into the garbage and adds shoegazing guitars instead. As a whole, DEEP RED is lush and stunning. You’ll want to paint your whole house in its colors.

If John Carpenter, Bill Conti, David Shire or Lalo Schifrin were reincarnated as DJ's they'd be Damon Baxter. 'Deep Red' is an imaginary soundtrack filled with wonderful soundscapes, textures and melodies a la Grantby style. Instead of rehashing the same hip hop/block party formula that Damon is known for he opts for a densely layered magnum opus filled with sweeping strings, pianos, guitar, flutes and more. Sound familiar? Craig Armstrong would be proud.
