Track 1 starts off with an almost 80's nostalgic feel before morphing into an up-tempo ambient vibe. A good start.
Track 2 combines a busy drumtrack to a funky bassline and insistent melody to create a pure dance track. It gets better.
Track 3 sounds like The Chemical Brothers on top form. A pulsing drumbeat drives the song on through dissonant string stabs and static. It moves up a notch with the inclusion of a fuzzed out guitar. I can easily imagine this being the intro to an indie film. A good one too.
Track 4 reminds me of a 90's trance tune. A nice piano melody prevents it from falling into a backing track and my one criticism is theres too much hi-hat going on (but thats personal preference so others might want more!) Almost Moby-esque but without the terrible singing.
Track 5 is my least favourite simply because of the style. I felt the vocal samples let the song down slightly and I kept waiting for a melodic hook but as the title says it is jungle and the drum'n'bass aspect is well executed.
Track 6 is the most different in terms of sounds. Again the bassline and drums are excellent as is the melody. I would have to say as someone who prefers rock and metal that this is my favourite track and reminds me slightly of Daft Punk, in a good way.
All in all a thoroughly good album and I hope to hear more. I can't recommend it emough. Not sure about the name though :)
