Review by Phatbot Aug 21, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Black Sun Empire have a special sound. If there's a genre called trancy D&B, then that's the genre which BSE can be labeled under. Check out, for example, 'Arrakis' and you'll get my point.

Oh and I love their sound - even though half of their tracks are done the same way: first the listener is introduced to the drums and the bassline and then, after about 2 minutes, there's a breakdown and a massive synth is let loose. Then the synth rumbles with the drums & the bass and after that it's just the the drums & the bass again. This cycle is gone through twice in about every BSE track. Could the country which BSE are coming from have anything to do with this structural similarity with today's poppy trance?
