Decent drum & bass, didn't really catch my attention though. 5.5/10

Eeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!! - only a 5.5/10 for Valley Of The Shadows????!!!!!!!!! - a lot of people (myself included) consider it to be the best jungle/drum n bass track ever made!!! It was released in 1993, and not only did it begin the transition from the more euphoric hardcore sound to the darker, more bassline-driven jungle sound, but it also single-handedly launched the career of Andy C!!!

When I first heard the beat, I thought this was gonna be a quite a tough, tribal house track, but then the piano came in and it turned into a nice, chilled out, loungy track instead :) I liked it. 6.5/10.



DJ Hell - The DJ (Radio Slave remix)
 
I like the synths used on this track, and the jazzy drums are very chill. I'd never play this track at a party (maybe a breakfast afterparty while everyone's sitting down and chatting) but it's enjoyable music. I like how it gets nice and melodic in the second half. 6.5/10

Trifonic - Parks On Fire

Love that Trifonic - Park's on fire video :) The video is something that seriously responds to and corresponds syn-aesthetically to the rhythms ;) 8/10

Infected Mushroom - Suliman
 
Awww I have a soft spot for trance especially with female vocals

9/10

if you like techno, youll love this track

The Advent And Industrialyzer / Sketch (AD-IN Mix 2) / Sketches EP

this gets a big fucking yes from me. great track.

I really like the idea of the rate the song above you threads. However, I'm not too keen on the ambient, and slower medlodicy stuff that gets posted in there. No offence to you, it's just not my thing. So I was thinking, how about a separate rate the song above you thread for more serious clubbing/dancefloor rippers. By no means restricted to hard techno, I just wanna see that kind of tunes that make you lose your shit on the dancefloor.

I'll start it off with a big ol':

David Moleon - Mole On

for those of you unfamiliar with the game, just rate the song above you out of 10, then post another linked to a song.

sorry dude, if you dont like what's being played maybe you can change the tune of things by adding in what you'd like to hear, but the game is anything goes so you just gotta stick with it. -thizzer

Musically, that track is a beast. I love it; especially how it tries to hold back in the lighter parts but eventually fails every time and lets loose with force and fuzz. But the vocal ruined it every time. 4/10

Totally agree with you... A musical beast but crappy vocals. A track like that doesn't suit vocals at all.

im sorry the song kinda creeps me out... not my style at all 3/10

Roger Shah And Tenishia Feat. Lorilee - I'm Not God (Roger Shah Remix)
an absolutely beautiful song. the lyrics are so freaking moving.

Sorry, vocal trance isn't really my kinda thing so didn't really rate that, but had a decent beat if I was in the mood for trance. 3/10


I'm going for Popof - Toxic Love

The beginning isn't too interesting. The buildup and wah-wah effects improve it a bit but I'd have to be pretty fucked up to really enjoy this one, I think. (Which is not to say that if I WERE really fucked up, I wouldn't! I think I'd dance like crazy to this under the right circumstances, even if I wouldn't consider it worth owning and listening to in my free time.) The extra percussion at 2:30 makes it more interesting. The buildup 2/3 of the way through lasts too long, though, and when the beat comes back not a whole lot has changed. Overall I'm giving this a 4.5/10.

Vaski - Get Down
