 | My c64 Reviewed: July 08, 2007 Artist: mickrip The commodoresongs on the old amiga games is what I recall as my first encounter with the 'scene'. I always felt there was so much creativity in making music with only 64 kb. This is one of those creative pieces with some perfect progression. Just download this, 5! | Read full review |
 | Dead by Dawn Reviewed: July 05, 2007 Artist: dormamu Ravey hardcore piece here. It's nice to hear some people still making that style, while the most popular style nowadays is dark industrial hardcore. Nice piece of music, which needs some work on soundquality, originality and arrangement. Don't be fooled by the rating. | Read full review |

 | Ca Donne Craquette Reviewed: July 03, 2007 Artist: JBL Frenzy! Judging by the title you'd expect something else, but a pleasant surprise. (Gl)itchy song here, propelled by one single sample of the voice of Kaneel. Weak points are the arrangement, repetitiveness, soundquality of some parts and production quality. Strong points are frenzy, wickedness and | Read full review |
 | Daddy Pulled My Tooth Out Reviewed: July 03, 2007 Artist: DuskWire A dark chill-outtrack with a silly sample which imho doesn't fit the song at all. Here we have a slow mover with potential, but not accurately carried out. | Read full review |
 | Cent Credits Reviewed: July 02, 2007 Artist: roncli Another well-written pianotrack from this TiS-veteran, which is short of 3 minutes of interesting stuff. This could either be a strong 3 or a weak 4. Good expression and timing on the piano. | Read full review |
 | Citar Reviewed: July 02, 2007 Artist: Likuid Short instrumental sitar song which doesn't really pick up. | Read full review |
| ..And the winner is Reviewed: July 02, 2007 Artist: thekhin This track takes us back to the day (euro)trance was really popular and every catchy tune could make a dime. Unfortunately most of those tracks were mediocre compared to the better tracks in the 'underground' scene behind it. Here we have a catchy tune that really sounds familiar | Read full review |
 | Extraterrestrial Lifeforms Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: TiLT Intelligently arranged ambient piece which is more of a soundscape than a track. In the end it evolves in a more vivid picture, which is quite suddenly cut off. A very strong 3. | Read full review |
 | Arilou - Welcome to Falayalaralfali Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: TiLT Absolutely stunning emotional piece, everything is exactly where it should be. It brought a tear to my eye, it sounds like a lovesong. The production is great and the arrangement fits the style perfectly. My first 5 | Read full review |
| Conquer Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: martyfmelb This ravey piece of music clearly suffers from overcompression and is very hard to review. There's a shimmer of quality shining through though... | Read full review |
| Cityscape Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: Abebe Sonido Judging by the overal sound this is a trackersong and unfortunately not a good one. It lacks crea | Read full review |
 | Everytime Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: roncli This is a nice pop, which still sounds trackerish through choice of instruments. It sounds consistent, good arrangement musically with some nice progressions. Sadly, it's more consistent than good. | Read full review |
| BBQPARTY VOL69 Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: kaneel For you familiar with the stuff Exile makes, check this out! It's freestyle glitchy breakbeat stufff, no other way to describe it. You'll need an open mind to music to even listen to this. It's considerably good though | Read full review |
 | Battle Tune #1 - The Fairy Tale Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: Tricky Very poor effort making 8-bit music | Read full review |
 | Alternative Dance Music Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: Ceekayed I expected 4 to the floor here with that title, but it's industrial. Very epic type of song here, but not in the way of putting your hands up in the air! Evolving pads, subtle stabs, an organ of sorts. This is gentle stuff. My only problem with it is its dissonance at times. Some of the melody's a | Read full review |
 | Depth Charge Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: zircon Interesting drum&bass track which kind of follows the trance formula and it works! Fastpaced stuff here, running short of 4 minutes. | Read full review |
| Dreamscape (R.E.M. Mix) Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: mysterium This is not mysterium's best track, but it's nice to hear what music was made back in the day. Unfortunately, there was a lot of better stuff around. I really don't know what to do with this. It's lacking in arrangement, has a lot of hardpanned instruments, low soundquality, it's repetitive etc | Read full review |
 | Mr. Penis Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: JBL A experimental triphop'ish piece and it's very intriguing. Good stuff and a strong 4 | Read full review |
| Craziness Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: martyfmelb Dreamtrance went by years ago, but is there a revival? I fear not. THis is a repetitive, mediocre track with a standard club beat and a standard lead. I don't really see any quality in this than reproduction. | Read full review |
| Kerosene Draft Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: nexxyz Lovely electronica/acid jazz here with a brilliant minute. After that quality dies a little, but is still reasonably high. This is a strong 3 and may be a strong 4 when it is revised. | Read full review |
 | Happy Day Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: ree Great melodies, great chipper! The drums don't fit that well though, they sound a bit too harsh. | Read full review |
 | Bend The Space Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: ree Chiptunes always tend to sound like strangled squirrels and this is no exception. I like the second return to the theme. The fade-out sounded a bit cheap thought, being cut off at the end. | Read full review |
| Darshana Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: Xetrov When I first heard this it sounded familiar, psynews-contest. This used to be one of my favourites!I love the melodic (gated) structure of this, it's really floaty and light! The bad thing is it keeps repeating itself. | Read full review |
 | Resonance Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: thecanary This track is a handful of ideas. After an unsettling intro it enters a more breakbeat style before returning to the horrorstyle. This could make a great concept, but it hasn't been worked out properly. The storyboard lacks some gore, screaming actresses and surprise round the corner. | Read full review |
| Camel Ride Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: Qumran I really like the arabic intro, but sadly it doesn't really evolve and just goes on for 2 minutes. I was really looking for a good solo here. It picks up again at 2.45 without any break. | Read full review |
| Mad Gasp (The Fantazy) Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: Em-Jay I must say I always liked Em-Jay's stuff back in the old day and this one is no exception. (I am that old) He always seems to create a nice, uplifiting, 'happy' piece without making it completely cheesy. On the downside you can hear it's really dated in the old tracker-format. Overall it's jus | Read full review |
 | Hello Morning Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: DuskWire This is definitely not your average try at dub. This is nicely balanced chill-music. It picks up you up and keeps you floating really. Too bad it's brutally murdered at the end with an axe. This is a very strong 4. Recommended! | Read full review |
| Transcension (Indian Fantasy Mix) Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: mysterium This is a very good song. Everything seems to be spot-on. The vocals are great, the percussion fits the song well, as well. In terms of soundquality this is brilliant, but I do think the hard left-right panning of the percussion gets a little in the way of the pads. I really felt the overall song co | Read full review |
| Red Ashes Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: Gazus Snake First of all, I love the raw feeling this one has. The distortion in the beginning is well executed and really makes its own soundscape. At 4 minutes I'm yearning for a well-executed solo, but I have to wait till 6 minutes to really get going. This is were the guitarplaying is a bit flakey as well. | Read full review |
| Jambalaya Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Artist: Qumran Overall I felt a little bit disappointed. Though the first sounds are a bit 'cheap' I felt it was really building up to something. The vocals killed every living thing in it. The overall soundquality lacks depth and sounds like it was made with the general midiset. I do think this artist is creati | Read full review |
| Aleutian Sunset Reviewed: June 27, 2007 Artist: oupa This piece starts of quite sudden, but promises alot and comes to a stop at 30 seconds.... Maybe you should resequence this, it doesn't sound quite the logical progression. The soundquality isn't up to notch. The drumset is quite 'loose' and lacks real punch as well as the bassline. I must s | Read full review |
 | Disconnector Reviewed: June 26, 2007 Artist: thecanary This is a decent track, but it lacks pure quality from all sides. Musically it's not very challenging, soundquality is not up to par and creativity is low on this. Still, on the bright side it's a half decent effort at techstep and it has some entertainment value. | Read full review |
| Showdown Reviewed: June 25, 2007 Artist: TiLT This is potentially a great endeavour musically and starts of very promising. Sadly, it never really enters the realm of true marksmanship. Instead it meanders around any bull's eye by restraining itself to the repeating riff of the underlying guitar. In metal change (how subtle it may be) is cruci | Read full review |
 | Piepschuim Reviewed: June 25, 2007 Artist: Void Pointer Finecut originale electronic pieces come quite rare, they always tend to sound like something done before. This is no exception I must say. All of us listening to Magda and the likes will certainly know this sound. Is that a bad thing? Not perse. The overall quality is above average, but I wouldn't | Read full review |
