Entheogenic - Spaced

It's abit too "esoteric" for me. Some nice sounds in there, but also elements that really annoy me (eg the voice that comes in around 4:00). No, I really don't like this kinda stuff: it hasn't got an organic sound, it's just a strickly cold ambient flow with very few beats. Obviously they are aiming for a public that's into tripping and that's another thing that doesn't appeal me. I mean: I don't like music that is made especially for specific drugs, I got no problem with tripping an sich. I'll rate it 2/10.

The Ed Chamberlain track on the other hand is very nice! Reminds me of autechre.

Cyba Space - life (dom & roland remix)
this used to be a big tune 10 years ago :), but IMO it still sounds good today

Not bad, didn't know Dom & Roland made such chill Drum & Bass. I've only heard 'Chronology' and a few other tracks, but I was always under the impression that he made mostly dark techstep. At first I this track didn't really catch my attention, but it gets a lot better at around 2:50 when the drumline kicks in. 7/10

Oceanlab - On A Good Day (16 Bit Lolitas Remix)

P.S. This isn't you typical Oceanlab/Above & Beyond vocalish trance, it's a really slick progressive trance remix of one of their songs. Enjoy!

cool, had a nice driving melody to keep it moving. "charger" is a suitable name for the song. =) 6.5/10

Pretty cool. I'm not really qualified to rate this as I don't listen to much dubstep, but regardless I'll give it a 7/10. My cousin played a load of dubstep at a beach party after I'd finished with an oldskool dnb set. The crowd loved what he played and after a while I really started to get into it. That was only a couple of months ago though so I'm a dubstep noob.

Great track. Somewhat on the ambient side, puts you in the mood on first listen. Somehow reminds me of Riders on the Storm, if that makes any sense? 7/10

7/10

a dubstep remix of a 2step track- interesting. the original was one of my favorite 2step tracks; this is a good remix. not really much into dubstep either but i can dig this. thanks.

It's ok, but sounds abit dated. Also the fact that they borrow their music for movies like 'tomb raider' is a major turn off for me --> 6/10.

This is my fav. leftfield tune btw --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jd7zbScttQ&feature=fvw

Here's a track that's just as old, but IMO doesn't sounded dated at all. According to current techno standards this may be considered as a chill out tune, but I think this highly danceable stuff. Also good for homelistening.
Dan Curtin - 'sentient'

That is some classic vocal house sounding lyrics in the back ground. I don't mind the drum beat, it's catchy, a bit empty though. The melody is soothing when it kicks. It would nice at the begining of the night, would be perfect with a cocktail :)

6/10 somehow falls a bit short for me though.

Boys Noize - Heart Attack

A stand out track on Boys Noize power, second to only jeffer. Different style, but this song really hits the spot for me.

To me this is waaay too commercial. The chiptune like sound around which the track is build is ok, but the beats are very poor, the vocal sample isn't appealing to me either. Very sorry, but to me this isn't interesting at all, hence 3/10.

Here's some probably lesser known electro: 'electronome' - 'bro'

watch out for the beat around 0:40 :)

A cool rhythm and a subtle melody. I liked it. 6.5/10.


This next track has a special place in my heart - it was the track of the night on the first night I did ecstasy, back in December 2000. Terry Francis played it as the first track of his encore, at about 6am, and it blew my mind to such a degree that, at the end of his encore, I just had to go and ask him what it was :) It was this:

Photek (featuring Robert Owens) - Mine To Give
