1Overall Description
Hop! Pop! Bip! This is one jumpy-stompy track! Very much frankfurt style, if you have wandered in some of those fast-paced german raves. And for the others, if you want to find out how "good" can sound hardcore, you might want to check this one.

Intelligently built, vocal samples distilled thru out the whole track, playing on their volume a/o intensity to add variation to the track. They're used here as any other instrument, and this is done quite well. The vocoder-ed voice echoing the male's sample is a perfect counterpart to balance the tune.

Beat might sound simple, but not basic. Variations are subtle, but the best part of it is in the use of different drum sets, whether it's different samples/machines or by way of filter a/o modulation.

Instruments and levels are right on. Sound quality is clear, crisp and well panned.

This is on big acceleration from the first second, starting with a d'n'b-like beat but those bips are stagering the upcoming stomping of this kick-bass combo that leads the pace non-stop. Except during the break, which is giving a big breathe in to the track and.. bang! you're back at it! Harder, almost you might think: "faster"!

My only minus is as good as it is, the whole track is build upon those vocals. They're good, the track is good, but it's missing something to make it a hit.
