Deimos & Mind Feind - Deimos Says: Mind Feind - 24-Sep-08 10:50 AM
This record was only released as whitelabel, just like Inshock002, with the difference that this release still had a PAM catalognumber. It's truly amazing, showing Deimos at his best again, teaming up with Mind Feind.

On the A-side we find 'Deimos & Mind Feind - Toy Confiscation', a track with simple but very driving kicks and a nice acid-like synth, reminiscent of 'Deimos & Catscan - Innomatic'.

The B-side starts with 'Deimos - Noise Nuisance', a nice techno track with Deimos' usual driving background synths & drums. The highlight of this vinyl, however, is Mind Feind's solo track 'Willing And Able'. Abstract techno with fucked up vocals (well, if you could call a distorted 'Yeah!' a vocal), nice kicks & drums and a thousand-and-one sounds... In one word: amazing!

Nosferatu - Enemy Of The State II - A Mind Less Ordinary - 12-Feb-08 05:24 AM
Nosferatu is back!

The first track on his new album, 'System_5601', is a darkcore track with breakcore influences. A real stomper with it's dark atmosphere and fitting vocals: 'Bombardement!'
'Outshine Any Competition' is, according to most people, the best track on the vinyl. I almost agree, it's the second best. We get heavy kicks thrown at us, combined with the right amount of rawness and distortion. And, like the vocals righty say, Nosferatu is once again 'Also demonstrating uncomprimising inventiveness and mastery of melody, that one rarely finds in heavy music.' A masterpiece.

The B-side brings us two great, but totally different tracks. 'Chronicles Of A Freak' is a mainstream track, with a great melody and gangster vocals. 'Running Interference', however, is a breakcore track. It shows Nosferatu doesn't only produce great melodies. Screw melodies, screw long breaks, just keep on pounding!

On the second vinyl, we start with 'Bustin The Crowd'. Like 'Chronicles Of A Freak', it's a mainstream hardcore track with gnagster vocals and a nice melody. The better of the two tracks on this C-side, is 'Enemigo Del Estago', Spanish for 'Enemy Of The State'. It has a really great, uplifting melody, not unlike 'Outshine Any Competition', but it has more speed and is less elaborate. Still, a great track.

'Flames Of Your Righteous Anger' is very much like 'System_5601'. It's also very dark, and very raw. A great track, a bit more mainstream, but really cool.
Finally, for me, the best track on this vinyl! The melody of 'Outta Control' really hit the spot for me, even better than 'Outshine Any Competition'. The buildup isn't exceptionally special, but the melody more than makes up for it :D

All in all, this album was well worth the wait! Topnotch, definitely recommended!

Simon J. Bergher - Contaminated Sounds - 11-Jan-08 10:54 AM
This is how it starts!

For me, this is the best hardstyle vinyl of 2007. Both sides are oldschool with a nu-style touch, a perfect combination of driving bass and cool melodies.

The A-side kicks off nice and simple with a deep, rolling reverse bass, nothing more, but certainly nothing less. After a near minute of floating away on the lower frequencies, we get a nice, energizing acid riff thrown at us, in combination with the earlier mentioned bass. Next up is a break, with some evil vocals and jingles, setting the mood for this track: The Panic Machine. The melody is not necessarily 'evil', but dark and uplifting at the same time. And then, the reverse bass kicks in again. For me, this is the best part of the track. A moment of pure ecstasy. And finally, the track slowly breaks down with the same, energizing bass. Have I mentioned I like the bass in this track? Well, I like the bass in this track.

The B-side! Another great reverse bass, not as deep as the a-side, but still very driving. This is combined with a screech-like synth and moderately cheesy vocals (that don't sound very cheesy in this track). Then, we get the very simple, but incredibly cool melody, combined with reverse bass! Screw hard kicks, Bass is the way to go!

Unlike other Trance Generators vinyls (Simon J. Bergher is produced by the Trance Generators), this isn't a picture disc, but an acid-yellow vinyl, in a transparent sleeve. Worth your money for 100%!

Dana - Catch My Drift - 02-Jan-08 02:49 PM
This is, perhaps, one of Dana's most underrated vinyls. Both sides have the same female vocals, giving the track a slight love-song feeling (although it is nowhere near tearful or cheesy), and both mixes use piano notes reminiscent of her biggest release ever, 'Back In Time'. The synths used are completely different, in a earcatching way.

The Rave Mix is pretty straightforward, using a slightly 'anthem'-like synth, with a catching melody.
The Mash Mix, however, uses a more raw synth, in a slightly chaotic way, giving the overall track a bit psychedelic atmosphere.

Both mixes have Dana's superb experimental style written all over it, thus creating a great, refreshing vinyl which is definitely worth buying.

Deimos - Deimos Says: Clockwork - 26-Aug-07 08:03 AM
Clockwork is Deimos' first release, and his best as well. It features two tracks, Patience vs. Pressure and Good Old Ultraviolence, the first being the jewel on this vinyl. It has, as with all of Deimos' releases, a very distinctive feel, uncomparable with anything I've heard before. It has techno-ish kicks, yet it doesn't really sound like techno. It has an awesome, electro-hoovery kind of lead, yet it doesn't feel like electro. It's a one-of-a-kind track, something that you will hear once, and never again. The track itself builds up very slowly, with an uplifting 'melody' that gets stronger and stronger, until it suddenly stops and breaks down.

Good Old Ultraviolence has a similar distinctive feel, although it's not as spectacular. It features 7 minutes of an ungraspable synth and again those techno-ish kicks.

This isn't everyone's style, but if you like tracks that are a style by itself, this is the record to buy.
