MFA, The - Zone Day

, Nov 06, 2005

Now this is a great record particularly because of one tune - "Overhang". Its difficult to say which genre this belongs to. Its a mixture of styles like House, Trance and Techno but most notibly theres a very strong Old-Skool Rave influence!

Featuring a wicked, big old-skool style riff, this is one hell of an uplifting tune. Its all carried along by a phat electro-disco bassline. The beats are housey but with a slight break and a cheeky little use of a much used sample back in the golden days of rave. Some dreamy, trancey sounds weave in and out to relieve the tension before the tune bursts into life again. Anyone who went to a rave in the early 90s and hears this one will be saying "Oh...I remember this one...Whats it called?". This sounds like it was made in the early 90s but also has its feet planted in the present.

"Disco 2 Break" is a pretty good electro/breaks effort but is ruined for me by some annoying vocals. "Rinse Time" is very good. Another old-skool tinged track which even comes complete with some nice bleeps. Sounds a bit like a breaksy remix of a Prodigy tune.

These guys obviously went to a few raves "back in the day" and felt quite nostalgic when making this record. Even the title hints at this. If "Overhang" doesnt get your party rockin then its time to call it a day and get an early night I reckon! WICKED TUNE!!!
