Surkin - White knight two

When I hear "French" used as an adjective, I normally expect that I will quite like the noun that follows. For example, French fries are a pretty good snack. French toast = one of the best kinds of toast. French kiss? Sure, why not?

The same goes for French house. It's normally pretty good; such is the case w/ that Surkin track. Although it lost momentum in a couple spots it was a pretty good modern recreation of a classic house sound.
6/10

bRUNA - "We Are Losing Touch (Marc Marzenit Remix)"

Wow, this is really good. Love the "Perfection hasn't any style! Perfection hasn't any soul!" This is exactly my kind of techno. 8/10

The groove was ok - leaning a little too much towards bouncy electrohouse for my taste - but still ok. But then about 2/3 of the way through, the most beautiful melody came in. Infact, for a moment I thought I was listening to some long lost Detroit techno classic. But all too soon the melody disappeared, and back came the electrohouse bassline :( . The track was still ok, but I'd have loved to have heard that melody used more. 6/10.

Pretty cool, tribal vibe. This would be fun to dance while grinding with hot chick at some nice "progressive" club. Although the vocal samples at this start are kinda... "Can't get up" - you know...

I like how the track changes at around 5:35. It leaves the grindfest zone and more into trippy house area. The vocal samples also go very well with the groove of the song, especially the "my soul weighs a thousand pounds".

This is really what all house tracks should sound like. Groovey and "chick-danceable" but still unique without any of that commercial-house that seems to dominate Kiev's club scene.

9/10

I've got this track on 'Pete Tong's Future Classics' CD, which came free with Mixmag in early-2005. That CD is memorable for me, because it was the first time I ever heard Alex Smoke :) . I remember really liking this Gabriel & Dresden track too, but when I listen to it now, it doesn't sound quite as good. Maybe it's because the youtube sound quality isn't great, or maybe it's just because I'm really not that into trance these days. It's still a well-produced track, but it just doesn't move me like I remember it doing when I first heard it. 6/10.




Underworld - Tin There
 
^ mm lovely, its only because of you I have properly checked out Underworld (beyond Cowgirl, Born Slippy and a few others) and its all so good.. this is an excellent track, never gets boring just keeps progressing into new places, reminds me of Orbital (which I have been an avid fan of for a while) but faster and just a bit more TECHNO :D 8/10

anyway this is my kind of shit

Acidwolf - Binedump

Ahhh man.........I feel honoured!!! =D =D =D

One thing I'd definitely recommend you check out is their 'Everything Everything' live DVD - it really is the closest you can get to seeing them live without actually seeing them live :)

- here's a couple of tasters from it:

Underworld - Pearls Girl (live)

Underworld - Rez (live)


By the way, I listened to that Acidwolf track you posted, and I agree with everything JoeTheStoner said about it - it's good, but just a lil too hectic for my tastes too =D

I love 80s pop music, but I gotta be honest - that was a little cheesy even for my tastes! It sounds like it should have been the theme tune to some crap 80s American sitcom. 5/10.




But just to prove my 80s credentials.........


Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

yeah, that about proves it. this song would be a helluva lot better without the spoken word/pseudo rapping, but still a classic 8/10
