Intra Muros is the first compilation & release from Sub Machine.
It got as Travel Pack (their second release) a singular covert art but i prefer this one.
There are 9 tracks which comes from France for the major part tetraktys,Kent,Cosmoquad (aka Luna Spice),Silicon Sound & Missing Time.
Also 2 tracks from portugese producers can be found here (Suria vs Dj Franco,Tone Factory).
Tetraktys delivers 2 tracks : ‘Ptah’ & ‘Mechanical Unit’. These 2 ones are good with his usual worked sounds.
For example, the killer Mechanical Unit uses the sample of modem’s chant (you know when this machine is dialing to connect you on internet), very weird at first but very effective .
The Kent & Cosmoquad stuffs are honests but not my favorites.
In Civil Engineering from Missing Time there’s something reminding me Intact Instint ‘Chigago Coin’s Cinema’.
Then comes the first portugese track by Suria vs Dj Franco ‘Template’. I know that Trance is quite pretty big there, but i’ve never heard stuff from this country and i must admit i’m not dissapointed at all.
Missing Time appears a second time but in a remix version of Excess End by Walhalla. This version amazes me much than the original which wasn’t bad . A beautifull lifting which contributes to amplify the richness of this track.
Next one is ‘Mechanil Unit’ and i already speak about it above.
My good impress on portugese productions is confirmed with the second track from Tone Factory ‘ Trompe L’œil’ wich ends up nicely Intra Muros.
Hightlights :8,5
Other good stuffs :7,9,6.
Mark :7,5/10
