Misery II by BlastDoorsReviewed: May 07, 2008
This song has a definite feeling of despair in it, which reminds me of VNV Nation melody-wise. The first breakdown is really awesome and fits the mood well, kudos for the in-your-face reverb-delay in ...

complications by orkabotReviewed: May 06, 2008
There's definitely an ominous and a looming presence of evil -type of mood in this tune. The tune is minimalistic in it's use of elements, which is definitely good in this type of music imo -less is m...

Troll (extended) by dj AlcesReviewed: April 24, 2008
A pumping techno piece here. Nothing too extraordinary, but nothing wrong either, except for some sound quality issues....

Stylust - Sex On The Beach by StylustReviewed: August 23, 2007
Liquid funk, oh yes :) This tune has all the elements one could hope to expect from such a tune - sparkling drums and percussion, a smooth bassline, filtersweeped chords and the like. The melodies, ho...

datre por by xylyxReviewed: August 21, 2007
Hmm. The concept of using only one synth plugin to make all the sounds for a track is a nice one, but has it's limitations soundwise, as good sounding drums are really hard to synthesize, at least wit...

Doom - Episode 1, last level remake by spinethrasherReviewed: August 18, 2007
This is a drifting song, ehich instills a feeling of hopelessness and "giving up". A very well done soundtrack tune, in general, that is. I can't really point out in which level you hear the original ...

Virus -The Infection by zaphoidReviewed: August 13, 2007
I'll start by admitting that i'm no expert with progressive or anthemic trance - I mostly listen to psytrance when it comes to trance, but I'll try and write a decent review nevertheless. The descript...

Cosmic Dream by ST ArtsReviewed: July 26, 2007
I'll have to start by saying that I'm not a big fan of spacesynth music, and haven't listened it so much, so that probably will affect my judgement. This tune has a quite funky bassline, vocoders, spa...

Ladybug by Louigi VeronaReviewed: July 26, 2007
Ah, this reminds me of old Amiga action games :) Nice cheery lead melody, positive vibes all around and clear production. I could imagine this being used in a shoot'em up or a scroller game, perhaps a...

Shadow (Tiny Emerald City) by orkabotReviewed: July 16, 2007
This tune has a menacing edge to it - eerie piano chords, subtle windlike effects and a nice female voice combined with breaks that syncopate to keep this rhythmically interesting. However - and this ...

Fast Breaks by yello73Reviewed: July 13, 2007
Overall this tune is really creative and progressive, it has lots of elements ranging from ambient to trip-hop to dnb to even jazz, which all blend well together. It takes skill to put those elements ...

chandrasekhar limit by dj ioReviewed: July 13, 2007
Nice floating, a bit eerie dnb. The melody has a nice orientalish vibe to it, the bell lead on the background gives a nice sidegroove to the glassy lead instrument - the melody is also the strong part...

Pennywise by thecanaryReviewed: July 11, 2007
Starts off with creepy, pitchbending synths and a slightly different beat from the dnb norm. When the bass comes around, starts rocking but I feel that It's missing something - perhaps some deviation ...

Elementary Particles by yello73Reviewed: July 11, 2007
This tune is an interesting combination of differing elements - sweeping synths, distorted guitars and am occasional really funky bassline. The jazzy piano melody at around 2:50 takes the song really ...

Dark and Smooth by thekhinReviewed: July 10, 2007
I like the groove in this tune which the bassline and synths create, and around 1:53, when the tune really starts after the breakdown, it really starts grooving. The melodies are quite simple, but it ...

En Paz by LikuidReviewed: July 10, 2007
I have to be frank, I don't like this kind of music generally - but since you requested I review this, here goes.. The main melody seriously need more variation, the four chords you use just aren't en...

Escape Yourself by Dj KujataReviewed: July 09, 2007
Starst off with nice sweeping synths and a mellow guitar melody, from which the guitar evolves to bossanova -influenced riff. The elements work well together - the guitar gives a nice contrast to the ...

The Devil ( Remix ) by Mad AlienReviewed: July 08, 2007
The intro is way too long for the elements it contains. The lead sounds are nice, but quite standard stuff, and imo they don't morph enough to produce that hypnotic goa feeling. The hihat line could h...

Pussy In A Shellshock by Mad AlienReviewed: July 08, 2007
This has all the classic goa elements - weird speech samples, pulsating synths and a slightly oriental inspired lead melody. The kick could be a bit sharper, and the open hh sample doesn't have enough...

Peaceful Life by TrickyReviewed: July 08, 2007
Very cheery theme which sounds a bit corny to my ear - but i have a slight hangover so it probably affects my judgement.. The bassline and lead melody need more variation to keep this interesting, as ...

Thinking (The CanarY's Drum 'n' Bass Revamp) by thecanaryReviewed: July 06, 2007
Nice one :) The different breakbeat sequences work well together, and the vocals sound good too - maybe they could be a bit more clear and loud? The flute thingy in the background sounds a bit detache...

Euphoria by Spectral the ProjectionReviewed: July 06, 2007
A clear-sounding mix, the different elements don't interfere with each other. The lead melody could've used a little bit more variation melody -and soundwise. The intro was very good, somehow i expect...

The Chapel by thecanaryReviewed: July 06, 2007
Techstep :) The drums need compressing, and the bass seriously needs more punch in the mix. But since this is done in It w/out modern tools, it is understandable that the sound differs _quite_ a bit f...
