Sci-Clone - Red Fever / Everywhere I Go (Remix) - 28-Oct-08 01:28 PM
(Everywhere I Go)
These crystal clear drums and the swinging beat gives a perfect base to the track. The whole comes in with the main keyboards which shift almost through the whole song... Except the sax-solo part... This is where it all starts to fly, coming alive more and more and more, until the eerily wonderful stopping part.
If the very meaning of now can be drawn in dancefloor music, this is it. This is what the avantgarde was talking about, simultanism, when you feel the whole world at once, and time stops existing. I cant stop listen to this, its an undefined depth and endless wonder.

Jonny L - Magnetic - 02-Oct-08 11:37 AM
This - if this could be said on any album - is the heaviest drum and bass album, giving an ultra deep impression in anybody who is into deep beats.

Very dark. Very eclectic, even if every takes have a real Jonny L sound. Which is smokey but concrete with upfront drums and talkative, industrial filterbasses. Each tracks have a concrete sound, defined tones of unexpected thoughts. When I listen to Uneasy I have the feeling of smoking vacuumed air in a high distance and it snows. And when I listen to Accelerate my body burns from inside and got taken by a swirl. The girls voice is wonderful, and how those beats follow her vibration, thats incredible. This song is the very depth of the typical soul-vocal songs from this era.

Naturally there are other tracks to be highlighted. Focus is a direct hit, for example, or there is the pin-narrow Viper with other huge head of this fantastic era: Optical. Im actually not too familiar with the CD yet, just known some songs from the past, and now just taking the whole thing inside... So excuse me if Id be missing out something important.

I want to get back in time, exactly to 1998, ten years, go to a party, listen to these things and have this thin air around my head, closing my eyes... Uneasily.

Infant - Growing Up - 12-May-08 02:18 AM
A fantastic album by French Infant on this fantastic label where you can always find something real delicate. I think this albums strength firstly comes from its sensitiveness, the childish feeling of these nestling beats...Highlight is the second song, where if you listen closely enough you probably gonna cry.
The whole disc stories you a lot, but in the same time it can easily be just a good background sound if you use it like that. If youre into deep feelings and sweet melancholy, you should give it a try.

Impulse (3) And Mecha* - Sex Station / Future Fear - 04-Sep-07 10:50 PM
The most matured Impulse tracks here of his solo work. Sure, Mecha is there and speaks the truth in Sex Station, and it makes it even harder, but music production is absolutely Impulse.
Sex Station is something ultra-obscene. Starts with what it has to - just as the name says it. Slowly but surely the joy is getting harder and when it all comes to the top, a little lazy tech funk theme is dropped down.
I think the real thing is Future Fear. Nervous but slight cymbal stabs start the tune with smoky dark sounds all around, a distorted human voice speaks "the fear" - giving the intonation of a bad, long story. When the first drums arrives, it really shivers. All the warm up excites stronger and stronger, makes you nervous with many fuming noises and the upfront drums, until the drop arrives...that feeling is something hard to describe. This bassline is so huge, just as this whole nightmare. Nightmare-funk.

Pendulum (3) - Spiral / Ulterior Motive - 03-Sep-07 08:00 PM
I have some words about the B-side, Ulterior Motive. If you know Pendulums dancefloor-smashers, with their usual unnatural drums, stupid melodies and stuff - so anyways; if you mainly feel its hard to listen a tune of these boys, I really say you can try this one. This is rough and raw drum and bass with a pulsing deep vibe, thanks to its endless stabbed lifting bassline. Risky cave-drop sounds leads into this underground train, all the sounds and melodies lets you feel from the very start that something stinks. And really: when you arrive to the drop, some bad word leads you into the jungle. The march is like some rubber techno..very monotone.
I think if you like the term tech, probably youll dig it.
