The Metronomus Project - Took Away

Rate:4/5
nice but not extraordinary
This is a very good draft to a composition. A riff and rhythm section is more than okay, but the composition itself it's not really elaborated. The production is almost perfect (I would work on the bass), but still... Where's the chorus and some changes in the mood of the tune (some samples, perhaps?).

Zodiac - End to Chivalry

Rate:4/5

Well.. That's engaging
How do you sound like? You do sound like NIN or some lighter side of KMFDM but it's still intersting and quite engaging. There's a nice balance between manic Trent-like vocals and hypnotic samples. I liked electronic drums to. The tune is just right - not too long, not too complicated. Right there - an industrial electronic composition at its best.

a_forced_fixed_image - A Fractured Girl

Rate:4/5

A psychotic piece
I loved it!!! This is a Tarantino soundtrack piece-like tune. Just kidding! It's more like Jodorovsky one! You're lucky because I do enjoy such out-of-head stuff.It's long, it's 12minutes-long and it's more, just as I said, more a out-of-space, Residents-like soundscape than a regular track. Well... It's a regular track in PsychicTV terms ;-). Generally, a recommendable tune. For psychotics. I nominate that song for A best tune suited to an elevator.

Tom Woxon – Kickstart

Rate:10/10

Now, that’s something! I have stumbled recently at this netlabel Da!Heard It Records and I decided to sample one of their menu at random. I knew there would be some breakcore, 8-bit stuff going on there, but I didn’t know that it would be That 8-bit. Kickstart is a great tribute to a world of commodore/amiga scene, nad it was truly extremely enjoyable to go through the tracks. Tom Woxon’s album is not a simple reconstruction of the sound of those great machines of the 80’s, but more an impression of it. House vocal samples weren’t in use at this time as I recall, I suppose not many people knew about house music in the first place, so those rich vocals that dwells Sofachips or Kickstart tunes are just a sort of interpretation, though it is quite nice and accurate. As much as I liked those, I simply loved those who are more similar to the imaginary amiga games soundtracks such as Casio Dream or Amiga Bass. Overall, this a great LP, very engaging though it has got 14 tracks. It is a definitely recommendable production and I’m looking forward to check something else from this netlabel.

Stay cool,

gz.
