Surely This album was one of the most xpecteds of the year since cpu already worked with many great artists and realesed some tracks on good comps
1.- Killer Rabbit Rmx
This Rmx contains obviously many of the structure of the original track, haves a notorious bassline changed and preserves the escense of the synth lines in addition with others, this one its (for my taste) lighter than the original but in meanwhile its best. Samy knew how to make it better good one for be the first  9/10
2.-Doors To Vision
well this one reminds me the pure style of 3dVision (weirdy, groovy goodie), with nice break ups, improving in each one more sounds, with a nice bassline structure from a groovie one getting more agressive in the mid of the tune, and the Cpu classic synth, surely will be played on many parties (if havent already) the best part on this its the calm down and then the explotion change!! very creative  9/10
3.-Shot Shot, Voila
after 2 tracks f pure madness this one its more clamed down but that doesnt quit the agressive style of cpu and his famous synth hehe, nice samples on it, kickind from 0 to end, good to listen but i dont think it could work so good as others at dancefloors, anyway i like this track, the structure of it is impressionant, some synth lines when u dont imagine they will be, hehe good one  8/10
4.- Down the Stairs
ohhh god one of my favorites, the intro shows that this track will be obviously a banger, then strats kicking with a bass that handles very well, then again our friends favorite synth hehe, a good changed bassline getting u more inside in the trip of the tune and then.... Booom another change (shit haha many changes lovely) a sound thats makes u wanna cry hehe, then the best break from the tune with a killer sample (i wonder were he take that one) for give u a hidden explode heheh then continues the madness
insane track!!!   10/10
5.-High Street Freak
"1965... victim of the drug..." whoa this track goes very very deeply with nice melodies in there killer samples, the synth again doing his job, could be cool to hear it at a aset for a nice break and to prolongate the smashing dark sounds, but thats not everything after the wicked melodie a small break n another change!!! to START Dancing, very european style hehe good one   9/10
6.-Peak detector
BOOM!, reminds me a bit gms thing, good percusions, groovy not the best but good one to chill a bit before go to some more insane sounds, good melodies in this one the best friend of samy (the synth) making his owns again in this good track to dance for a while, maybe doesnt fit with the album but cool cool cool hehe  8/10
7.- Processing unit
HIS ANthem!, this one shows every and one aspect from cpu style, banger for night, the build up of synth lines are impressive surely this one could take u on a trip that wont let u sleep with a break that makes u sens that will be over... but nah he lie again and let the tune xplode hehe i like this track another of my favorites and necesary to know about him will be a classic (i think)  9/10
8.- Virtual Flirt
WHAT THE HELL!! what happened here weres the intro , ahhh who needs it when a tune gives this kind of energy since the 1 second, i didnt believe he started like this, just kick, sample, and bass whoa... then let me teel u that u will BLOW dont get to close to the speaker cuz u are going to fly my.
what a best track i think its the best from the album surely he did it in a night, with maybe who knows something giving him some agressive!, the break ohh god oh god never heard something of this kind... many changes in this tune... with the famous synth a perfect combination, the best track the best buildup one of the best tracks even of the year i guess :burn:   1000/10
9.- A beach in japan
well this was the only one that didnt sound me like cpu but i liked i think it was the only with a morning touch, good track friends everyone should listen carefull to this very trippy very deeply to much feeling here   |

CPU
Central Processing Unit
3D Vision
Tracklist:
Killer Rabbit RMX
Doors to Visions
Shot Shot, Voila
Down the Stairs
Haight Street Freak
Peak Detector
Processing Unit
Virtual Flirt
A Beach in Japan
For years, it’s been growing: the ghost in the machine, the virus in the computer. Now this new AI has taken over the CPU, and is broadcasting its message to captive audiences across the planet. Central mission: storm the dance floor! It succeeds in every way.
Each track is an absolute gem; full of rolling bass lines, infectious hooks, and brilliant programming. The production so crystal clear you should be able to drink it.
01- I didn’t care for the Killer Rabbit RMX as much as the original, but that doesn’t stop it from being a phenomenal rework. It’s much more polished, and the over all sound is much broader. It’s much more spacious, and more than a tad funkier at times.
02- Doors to Visions is a growling hi-tech monster. Feeding on its own energy, it snatches you in its claws, and drags you on quite a wild ride. This one builds and builds until finally releasing a fury upon the dance floor.
03- BANG! And we’re off… This one’s a thunderstorm right from the start, and just won’t stop. Extremely layered and full of energy. Peak time stuff, with chunky bass and twisted synth grooves!
04- Down the Stairs creeps along with it’s funky rhythm and slowly building synth work. Check out for the vocal samples buried in the mix; they lend a bit of melody to this otherwise full-on storm. Nice dark samples, and great bass line changes. This one is very Absolum-esque.
05- Ah… Fear and Loathing samples. Can’t ever go wrong with those. And some of them are so well manipulated and processed that you can barely recognize them. Plenty of hand percussion adds texture to this dark tune. The synths are arranged in some nice melodies that slowly build to the peak at the end.
06- Definitely one of the stand-out tracks on the album. The bass line is nice and funky, and plays well with the percussion. The breaks and steady groove really keep a dance floor moving. But the main thing to note is the aggressive arrangement and brilliant production of the synth lines… and how the melody dances in and out of the screaming acid noises.
07- Right from the beginning, the bouncing bass work of the Processing Unit will get your butt moving. The samples are well manipulated, and lend nice atmosphere to this track. Some of the arrangement is almost house-y, but adds nice depth. I could see this going over well even in a club.
08- I think my brain is going to explode and ooze out of my ears. You’ll think yours will too after hearing this 149bpm stormer. Definitely my favorite on the CD!!! The (multi)build at the end is/are simply killer. Actually, I don’t think words can even do this track justice. You’ll just have to buy the album and hear it for yourself.
09- With A Beach in Japan, Sam really shows off his song writing skills. Almost progressive, the orient-tinged melody lines are the order of the day. They blend in and out with a slowly building agro-psy line. Great sunset/sunrise music.
Bottom line… This is a must have for your collection, whether you’re a DJ, dancer, or casual listener. Probably the best artist album released this year, Central Processing Unit has created an instant classic. This is what psy trance is supposed to be!

oh my god, i havent said this about a cd in a long time! i really underestimated cpu until i saw the man live, i saw what this music does to the dancefloor and me, and what a frenzy of intelligent rolling basslines thundering and never letting go of you at any point... i nearly lost my mind in the live set of this album.... i recommend anyone to buy it if you like the absolumish 3dvision sound with a new maniacal groove and twist. 10/10

Listening to the same synth preset throughout the whole album can be very annoying. Some good ideas, but more variation wouldn't hurt.
How am I supposed to hallucinate with all these swirling colors distracting me! |
