Wonderful and intelligent, the sound is almost perfect. Tryad is, without doubt, one of the best bands you can discover at Jamendo.
Listen to 'The Final Rewind'.

I pity the people who are not utterly gaga over this band. And I'm sure those people pity me because I am so utterly gaga about this band.

Still, music is a fairly subjective thing.

So, here's my subjective opinion:

Try^d and Vavrek are musical geniuses. I don't mean they're technical wizards or anything like that. I mean they have music and musical feel in their veins, and through chemistry or magic or whatever the hell you want to call it, their stuff writhed and wriggled and coiled together and melted together into something new.

Something new that rose up, grabbed me by the head, stuck a slippery tongue through my ears, went down to my chest cavity and wrapped itself like a throbbing anaconda round my heart, twitching with the beat.

And it has happened not just with one or two pieces, but a whole bunch of them.

If I were a woman I'd demand to have Vavrek's babies or something.

OK, there's stuff I don't care for either, but ... what a huge shortlist of truly brilliant pieces we end up with still:

Empty: love the reverse distort guitar samples or whatever they are. And the tune.

Sunlight: after an odd start it settles into a wistful tune. And what a fine tune it is too.

Witness: What a groove. I prefer the Holowatch Screaming Club Mix of this - get that if you can - it's probably on their home page somewhere. What a fine tune.

This: Beautiful mellow groove. What a fine tune (do you see a pattern here? Yes?).

World that you know: Poignant. Love it. Fine tune, of course.

Rewind: Another fave to rave about. Can't get that tune outta my head.

Our Lives Change: How the hell did they manage to keep churning out such beautiful tunes?

Healing Luna: Not as great as the rest in my humble opinion, but stands out all the same. I mean, you can't get past that lovely tune.

These guys are deservedly a top Jamendo download. So damn talented, it's flabbergasting.

Whatever happens, Try^d, do try^nd keep that magical interaction between the musicians going. You have something special there.

I think I like this album. The songs do not seem to follow any discernable pattern but the album certainly carries itself as a whole. After three full listenings and a fourth one under way, I still find it difficult to form a complete opinion of this.

The styles vary from very modern, easy-listening melodic trance to something which I can only begin to describe as "experimental progressive 70's ethnic rock". There is a hint of jazz, and some parts even sound like old Depeche Mode. A compilation like this should not be this good, but somehow the team (I can't really call them a band due to their collaboration method) has managed to create a solid aural gem.

The album is not perfect, and in that regard I have to disagree with some of the other reviews. What I find disturbing, is that I honestly do not know what to make of the album. I know I feel compelled to listen it again, maybe in the vain hope of trying to understand the complete work.

It may well be that Public Domain requires several listenings before opening up, and I accept the possibility of never understanding it. What I do know, is that the album sounds good - but I honestly do not yet know if I actually like it or not. I don't remember ever listening to any other album that was equally captivating and still this difficult. This should signify a great album, but now, I feel unsure of myself. This continuing uncertainty prevents me from giving 9/10.

Give this album a try. Then a retry.

I'm usually not a fun of this kind of music, but daim... Can't get enough of it. Title of the song says it all "You are god".

I just love try^d, their project is great. I didn't know that i will find on jamendo such professional albums.
