Finally I got a copy of Anax. I have been waiting for their album since I ran into their track on Harmonia rec compilatiton. As I expected, mostly I'm happy with their debut album....I would describe their music as daytime chaos which comes from positive driving feeling with psychedelic twist and tweaky melody.I think best release from Kagdila so far. We need to keep eye on this label because Nexus album will follow soon!In addition, Kagdila records is owned by our friend Shu-ki who lives in Southern California where I'm also currently living in....some might think this label as kinda new, but I believe Kagdila has been around at least 5 years...
Anyways, lets kick off!
Anax - Not Over Yet
1. Idiotic
2. Chaos 68 (life without you)
3. Brain Capacity
4. Porno Star
5. Secret Story
6. Not Over Yet
7. Spititual Freedom
8. The Begining
9. Psy Freak
10. Anax (rmx)
1) This track tells you all what Anax sounds like, powerful driving bassline and very psychedelic tweaky sounds. Voice sample and effects gives it extra touch to it. I thought this track is too agressive to open a whole story with, but we'll see as this album progresses.
2) ok, it starts with beautiful atmosphere, and mysterious voice that you could imagene some mellow track coming up, but no way! powerful kick and rolling bassline smash up!!! Nice synth riffs mingle ups and downs...I like this track a lot. Very positive feeling, yet psychedelic.
3) hum..this is a bit different from other two tracks, maybe intro doesn't srart with 4/4? well, very tweaky track...and hypnotic. Progression is also interesting, and dynamic. Thier hats sound is used very effectively that makes you really rash.
4) This track is darker than 3 other presious track. I cannot think of any releation to porno star as track name goes ;-) long breakdown in the middle but no notable changes follows...i think its a ok track.
5) Unique bassline and metal grinding sounds chasing behind...sounds like almost some insects making noises. This track is more nighttime oriented, tweaky, agressive.
6) This track is very psychedelic, the more track goes toward to, the more psychedelic it gets. Pumping bassline makes you dance and tweaky crisp sounds stirs your brain squashed.
7) Start with good soundscapes that seems to give you time to breath but again, kicking track starts off. Jumpy bassline won't gives you place to rest your legs.
8) I feel like doing some kind of shooting game. Voice samples make this track chaotic. Bassline is nice, melody is good. It goes well with sunny day's psychedelic maddness.
9) Spacy atomosphere behind, poweful rashing track, with lots of tweaky sounds. Breakdown step in with bass fade in, out....I think they could do better on that point.
10) This track is remix of track name anax. I haven't heard original track before so I cannot compare, but this track is really nice. I was a bit tired of second half tracks of this album, but this is a lot different from others and refreshing. Crisp, nice danceable positive vibes.
Favorites tracks : 2,3,6,10
Final verdict 8/10
All in all, this is really nice album for their debut album. When I gave it a listen to whole cd first time, I thought each track doesn't have tight identity, sounds kinda similar but the more you listen to it the better its get, and more detailed you'll find. Good luck to Anax for future releases
  Tell me what you listen, and I'll tell you what you are.

Thumbs down from me - another same-sounding dancefloor album without stellar production.
