yo_awl_f4g$_23.39423647845x3. This track is glitchy and works well to introduce and establish a mood. Seemed to let me know what to expect. The sound here may not seem accessible to ordinary DNB fans, some leeway will be required on the part of the listener. mr-scumbag-doing-beautiful This track enters also somewhat glitchy. When the main beat lands it's cyborg darkstep. This one definitely had moments that gave me some goosebumps. It's noise interruptions are well placed and equally processed. When the break comes it's welcome, serves as an excellent contrast to the sound before it, but then it melts together with the last section. icky guLP The guitar and ring modulation come off a bit over-processed but thats just a matter of taste for myself. I produce and always avoid that particular effect. The beat is an easy shuffle and 303 synth dances in the background to flute flares. It all comes off to me like a windy and mysteriously tropical sound. The stereo work is excellent - be sure to ware headphones for this. evil gas fire Hell Yes! This was unexpected and I was really impressed by it. The 23 tempo is rife with chopped up dnb loops. The main groove lands HEAVY and snarls the whole time with (perhaps slightly overly) distorted synth. It's monochromatic and the focus is singular. The mid-range is slightly crowded, I would have liked some more room given to the low range for more of the brooding bass. Very intense and absolutely my favorite track on the album. smirc If there is a place where the 'weird' tag comes in it's in this track. Seems like a mash of well automated effects. Although I appreciate hwo much work this must have taken with it's carefully structured glitch sound the samples to me sound somewhat stock. Stays light hearted and happy, a complete departure from the sentiment of the previous track. x-panzer [epic reissue] Excellent epilogue to the album. Although the rest of the tracks seem unlike one another and somehow unconnected, this one seems somehow to draw them all together. The result may seem more a collage of styles to some, but I think he's been able to pull off an effective manipulation that evens it all out into one song. Glitch progressively becomes the main theme, along with cold high pitched chime, and a pleasing rapid-fire "fireman" break. Thanks Ll0_ol7, I'll be back!
