The review:
Alright, so I checked the forum and there was no review for this one yet. Since I've had it for some time now, I just thought I'd post a review, since I'm anxious to find out what other people think of this release. Down to business then. If you don't know Seroxat then you obviously don't buy many compilations, or you just absolutely hate this darker style of psytrance. You see, Seroxat makes psytrance like Azax Syndrome, Kindzadza and others. Pretty driving, dark stuff. We immediately fall into the dark atmosphere with track 1, which has a weird name. Sampled screams and some weird sounds and the ever present pounding bassline get you in the mood immediately. Track 2 comes up and this one has a lot of screechy sounds and works with snaredrums a lot. Pretty driving track, nothing really outstanding. Then the remix of witching hour. This is more like it. Dark atmosphere and somehow a lot better to listen to in my ears than track 2. Track 4 is more dry and continues in the same style as previous tracks. Nice kinda twisted melodyline at the end. Track 5 then. Less interesting in my taste, more like track 2. Good, but not great or anything. Track 6 is a little slower. The same style continues here, although this one has a great little haunting kinda melody. One of the better tracks. Death Machine uses another sample from the movie 'Cube' which has been sampled a lot in psytrance already. Nothing special here. Black Ice is another squelcher, so if you like this style you will be overjoyed with another example of it. The last track... well, what is there to say? Liked the previous ones? You'll probably dig this. Though I have to say that by the time I reach the end of this cd I'm fed up with the style. And so we come to conclusion time. A solid cd if you like this style, so if you really want some more Seroxat tracks I'd go for it! I bought this one to have some darker kicks every now and then. The album suits me best when I listen two or three tracks from it. I can't bring myself to listen it in its entirety because I quickly get bored with his style. It's basically all the same, sometimes it even sounds like you're listening to eight remixes of the same song. But anyway, it's not at all bad, mind you. Some of the tracks that I pointed out are pretty cool. Specifically tracks 3,4,6 are really good. The rest: well... not bad. But not really cool. For some kind of reason Kindzadza's album, which is a lot like this considering style bores me a lot less. Then again, Kindzadza is more diverse in sounds. I'd give this album 6,5/10. If you really like the style, go get it. But I'd advise you to check out the samples of it first.

I actually don't listen to dark much, I'm a full on guy. Listen to dark once in a while for a break from the full on sound, I tried this album couple of weeks back & was blown away by it.
There's not a single track on the CD that i feel like skipping. Wicked, totally wicked album. My favourite track (though i like all of them) would be Death Machine.

Well, I listened to it some more and lately I've been liking the dark style more and more. Officially upgraded this to 8/10 now.

Good cd.. pretty much all the tracks were powerful and driving. Didnt feel that all the tracks were first class though. But this is a perfect, sharp power morning style stuff that goes down very well after a heavy hitting line up.
