Take a sample set, toss it into a blender, and out comes G. Stalker's Struggle. Equal parts b-movie organ, African drum circle, and eno drenched echo chamber, this song really pulls together some diverse elements. This song begins to lag a little after the three minute mark, ironically because it could use just something else to get it out of the rut it dug itself. That aside, a very interesting piece that comes very close to being brilliant. A daring composition. If nothing else, read the artist's description - trust me, there is some 'different' stuff there.

chaotic, aggressive, wonderful beginning. the vocal samples are an especially nice tough. The high hats are a bit bright and everything is drenched in too much reverb, perhaps. Never really goes anyway beyond the intitial soundscape. Interesting, but not too exciting.

Beautiful, soothing textures. Gets a nice groove going in the beginning and refuses to slacken - a seductive slow booty shaker of a song. A competant piece that serves its purpose, lovingly kisses you goodbye, then sash - says down the street as dawn breaks.

Ahhh - this brings back memories from my rave days. Just the right blend of cheesy synth, piano arpeg, and impossibly fast snare rolls - and that's a good thing. Definately a track that knows a thing or two about the genera this is written for. The transistion at 3:31 is a little jarring - moving from the 'dark' section to the 'lighter' section perhaps could have been accomplished better with a more gradual change over, which also would have lengthened the song more and given it that epic quality that it deserves to be from the beginning.

Very experimental. The looped sample we hear in the beginning gets somewhat tiring. The song seems to drown about in its own cleverness, never bothering to explain where it has been or where it would like to go. However, the percussive part is a partial life preserver keeping the ear entertained with unusual bits of audio flattery.
