Some great synth sounds going on here - from viewing his page, intervox definately has some experience working with some great sounds via his acidplanet remix experience. The melodic vocals are very good. Excellent drum programming and the chord progression around 1:13 is excellent and very Depeche Mode-ish (which, needless to say, is also excellent ;). Great song. Downloading now. :D Can't wait to hear more.

My first impression is that this is a little quiet - perhpas giving it another pass through some compression to raise the overall levels might be needed. Great industrial vibe though. The fx'd vocals around 0:53 and 1:36 are a little cheesy but they are more than made up for with the monotone verse vocals. The breakdown before 2:00 sounds somewhat forced, and the chord change up around 2:20 and again at 2:40 sound unnatural, like you're trying to fill time. Some great ideas there, execution, however, leaves something to be desired.

Excellent vocal sample at the beginning - kicks this track off right. Kind of wished the bubbly synth line was a bit louder - it sounds like it is currently buried in the mix. The instruments really don't grow beyond their intial promise - the chord changes are nice, and the intro of the pads help, but it really becomes more of a chill track that you let wash over you instead of one that grabs you by the ass and forces you to sit up and take notice. The fade out also seems something of a cop out - we can hear the acutal ending if we turn up the volume, and ending which would have been perfectly ok. Some decent sounds, and some great vocal samples. A little reworking and this would be a great song.

Almost a hip hop opening. The drums here are very low-fi. One minute into it, and it is still the same melody and basic drums - variation doesn't happen until 1:35 and I felt myself wishing for something more to flesh the track out a little bit. By 2:45 the electronic piano finally subsides long enough so that I can hear the bass buried way deep in the mix.

A funky bassline opens this track. It could quite possibly be the speakers that I am listening to this on, but the hi-hats sound a little too hot, a little too raspy and the rest of the mix are covered up with their brittle backwash. Very repetative toward the end, which is abrupt. Could be better.
