Kareem - Caspian Gold - 04-May-09 11:47 AM
To say this is dark would be an understatement. What comes here disguised as offbeat techno is the evil lurking in your subconscious, and it's growing with every track on this release.
Not hard hitting, instead layered with drones and atmospheres and the occasional industrial influences. Kareem stays low-key but oh so more effective through subtleness.
Only one track that is straight four to the floor, and not a lot of changes on each one, the only drawback may be that the tracks itself could have been a bit longer to be more effective in hypnotizing the listener.
This is a fierce release with monotonous tracks that keep building, but building slowly like the hairs raising on your back.

Marduk - Panzer Division Marduk - 11-Feb-09 11:00 AM
Brutal, hard and most of it all unholy fast, the only compromise taken here in terms of Black Metal may well be the sound. Thanks to Peter Tägtgren skills as a producer it has a distinct drive and tightness while keeping its edge and being well aware of over production.
Far away from the usual muddy (or as some may say 'atmospheric') heights and mids only sound, this is Black Metal where you can actually hear and feel the bass rolling over you like, well, a tank at full speed.

She Wants Revenge - She Wants Revenge - 21-Oct-08 04:39 PM
Not outstanding and easily forgot in five years (in fact I forgot about it one year after and now while revisiting, it can't catch me the slightest like it did the first 20 plays or so), but fun while it lasted. Surely the influences are obvious and song titles like "Out Of Control" are almost too bold, and yeah it was hyped and it sometimes feels like targeted to a specific group, but this album still remains a quite original homage and not a blatant rip-off of the darkwave era in all its facets. I was glad if all the bands shameless copying old formulas sounded this fresh. Surprisingly, there are no weak tracks on this album and no song sounds the same. Even the lyrics are perfectly acceptable. It will never reach the originals it draws it influences from, but then, what does?
Their second album is a shame, though, as it just tries to copy this release and somewhat exposes the band and spoils the fun one can have with their debut.

Axel Bartsch & Asem Shama - Drumfiles 3.0 - 27-Aug-07 02:32 PM
Nice driving release with tribal percussions and a definite retro charme. The a-side features housy vocals in the break and while this is all good and surprisingly fitting, when the beat comes back it might go slightly over the top, reminding me a bit of too cheesy 90s dancefloor. Luckily this only lasts some 20 seconds.
Whether this is tongue-in-cheek or just cheesy one will have to decide for himself. I like it.
The b-side is essentially the same track without vocals, making it a well done tool.
No milestone, but a good effort.

Faze Action - In The Trees - 27-Aug-07 09:06 AM
What's strange about this is how much In The Trees resembles Rob D's Clubbed To Death, at least the strings and the way it's building up. The latter is even more remarkable with the C2 remix and it's even more odd concerning that Clubbed To Death has been remixed by Carl Craig as well. But maybe that's just me.
Anyway, the original version from In The Trees is a very organic sounding deep house track that sounds just like an actual band playing, oscillating somewhere between funk and disco. Absolutely timeless classic.
The C2 remix again is Carl Craig at his best, creating an evil monster of a tune that sucks you into it, playing around with you to finally release you in the warmths and depths of the original, just when you're not expecting it. Great work. though somewhat predictable if you know Carl's way of remixing, but it sure works like hell and should destroy any floor.
