Album Review
21echoes
Reviewed 2009-08-26
Nasally, out of tune vocal samples permeate this disk full of relatively standard electro fare. Perhaps knowing the original tracks would help, because otherwise this sounds like a “B4by’5 F1r$t R3m1x” disc on most tracks. That said, as it is a multi-artist album, some tracks are more than passable. REX: 7, 6, 10, 5, 8, 1

1.       *Up-beat, bouncy electronic track. (5:05)

2.       A much more moody, trance-y, and tribal track (6:25)

3.       High resonance and buzz gives the track a moody feel, but vocals don’t fit at all (7:05)

4.       Pulsing and blippy, but still serene (4:30)

5.       *Dark, aggressive, driving (5:14)

6.       **Also dark, aggressive, and driving. A lot of rez. (6:21)

7.       ***Vocoder, rezzy portamento, glitchy drums. Easily the best track on here. (6:10)

8.       *Starts off stereotypically, but ends up going off in some cool organic directions (6:32)

9.       Decent track, but too much is bland and out of tune to merit play (6:32)

10.   **The only original track on the disk, and quite dece. Down, pleading, slow. Very 80s. TRACK ENDS AT 4:04!! After this ending there’s silence, then some interesting glitchy stuff that I wish had made its way onto the record in full. (5:51)
