Va - Complexity - Cold Groove Records (Toronto Canada)
1 - Spirallianz - Magnitudes
2 - Axiomata - Ethereal
3 - Echotek - Get Light
4 - Nuclear Ramjet - Operation Northwood
5 - Nuclear Ramjet - Neoponik
6 - Mass Turbo - Sitcom Drama
7 - MidiMiliz - Cyclic Structures (restructured)
8 - Tetraktys - Lightframe
9 - Metalogic - Gradient
This is their second compilation to date... and without taking anything from the first one (Cold Cuts) this is one excellent release... and if every release it to be like what we've heard so far from the Canadian label... keep your ears open... 
1- Nice start with Spirallianz.. great textures, pounding beats... like usual, excellent production... pumping track... excellent starter...
2- Axiomata has a good track on there... a bass and kick that sound a bit shy... but suits very well to the track... very cool odd sounds waving left and right... very nice... a small electroish break in there... just to have it all come back up again...  nice touch... a bit redundant in the end imho.. but still a cool track...
3- Cool sample to start off the Echotek track... nice percussion work in there...this is swirling everywhere... hurray for delay !:p I don't quite know what to say... it just sounds really really good...
4- Now this is my favourite... everything just seem to fit and blend so well together... strings, guitars, drums, choirs... just falls into place to creat a beautifull piece of music... still pounding... dry kick... quite fast I have to say... excellent production...
5- This one is much techier... very nice and groovy... cool shuffle... snakelike bassline... I love this stuff.. boy do they love their LFOs and sidechain... sounds great...
6- Cool proggy track from Mass Turbo (sounds like a porn superhero but it's off subject) sounds nice... cool pads and nice rythm to it... very groovy stuff... I really like it... birds on the beach... really gets your ass movin'...
7- I don't know how much this one differs from the original... but it's great... proggy track from Midimiliz.. cool transposition.. classic but brought in a very cool way...very cool FX... this is smooooth...  me likey...
8- pumping track from Tetraktys... dry bass... nice pads... Tetraktys does it again... very good stuff...
9 - Electro stuff from Metalogic here... very nice in it's kind... something just doen't quite catch me on this one... but still a very nice track... for those who like tghis stuff...
Overall a great compilation... smooth and still pumping... techtrance and proggheads alike will find something to dance to... and home listeners will loove the productions on this one...
fav tracks: 1 - 4 (!!!) - 6 - 8

Just bought it. Really refreshing listen, after all the electo-prog and full-on thats flooding the scene at the moment. This is at a really nice tempo, nothing too harsh, with still with a fair bit of intensity. Operation Norwood is a standout track, a real stunner!
