3.Selected
4.Wechselwirkung
5.Sounds
6.Smoke
7.Planet Earth
8.Fusionic
{1.Metaphoric}
Begins with a nice background effects and little groove part.Bassline upcoming and grows up surrounded by background effects till the pumping part starts.
Good kick and bass combo , (kick is too much of high in my opinion) ,flowin groove and effects progress.
Here comes a break , good sounds creating nice night atmosphere , again growing bass till it starts with the kick.The speed grows with bass and kick and also the percussion.
Intelligent effects and melodies.Good groovy night track at overall.
{2.Time&Space}
Like in the first track , begins with dark synths and little grooves till the start.
Great bass and kick , really pumping.More melodies in this one , good atmosphere - night and little scary.
Good track at overall , although nothing special.
{3.Selected}
A little bit of atmoshpere in the beg with some noise ( good one) and then great kick and bass.Great bass guitar effect , distorted , runs a little till a short break and then it comes with a good groove that makes you shake and dance.
The track progress in ususal way , very danceable , good dialogs , nice picked effects and vocals.
Realy pumping.
{4.Wechselwirkung}
As I translated it - means Interaction.Dont catch me on this one.
Anwyay this one is a realy blast.
Night atmosphere , hell of pumping kick and bass.
Effects dialogues are great picked and placed.
Tight and shaking groove makes this one very special.The melody which playing is just so fit although it can heard so simple - it just made it to me.
Bass changes are hell good , so special so not heard in todays scene.Breaks are pumping - all in this track make you fell the pro of it.
Best track of the album.
{5.Sounds}
Ok lets calm down a little after such a hit like the fourth track.
Begins with more calm atmosphere good flanger groove , although its pumping and progressive this one comes to calm you down after the fourth track.
Good pads , nice atmosphere (nighty and scary).Overall is very nice - more calm - who knows what we will get in next track?!
{6.Smoke}
For me was no so much time to smoke between the tracks so....
Begins good , create nice atmospheres around the track.
Pumping bass kick combo , tight groove , pretty nice - again the sounds calm you more then shaking you , but the track is still very danceable.
Good one - not much to add.
{7.Planet Earth}
Fast bassline , fast and speedy track.Awesome groove play here , realy liked that one.Grows up till the break , then it comes - not a long one.
After it more speed added and added with effects dialogues and groove progression.
Good track for dancefloor - shaking , fast and progressive.
{8.Fusionic}
This one expected to close the groovy pumping end of the story - the last track of the album.I want more ---- hope soon.
A little long beginning , again night atmosphere , fast bassline , good pads , nice effect work.Goes till four minutes - good melody (more morning) comes from background.
The melody begins at the breack , good melody although someone will say it remind some old synths sounds but I like it - cant say its so original but anyway - something made me to like this album(although nobody discovered the wheel).
Good melodic track at overall.
Ok its came time to finish - as I said i wanted to continue listening more and more.
Firstly , dont know why but this album really came close to my heart.Really liked it , didnt expected from that one for such quality music - can be said I was surprised.
The album is made like a set , beginning slower till the fourth track , than explodes at midlle of night set and then goest a little faster - close to morning music.
The style is progressive german - so nice so sweet - awesome.Production is good - nice soundwork - very proffesional , all tight and pumping.Really will hit the dancefloor - I think its the best music for a night set.
What I liked less is the fact - that every track or let's say almost every track have pretty same construciton , same beginning only effects are change from one track to another.
Of course it can be said that this what this album was to show - but I am quite sure that it could be more variable.
A must for german progressive style lovers.
Have a nice listen.
