I can honestly say without ego that I'm sorely disappointed at how little attention this has gotten.

**DjRandom** · 04-03-2007, 08:56 PM

I downloaded it like a few hours ago and I've been listening to it, ALL of it, I have to say HORY SHIT! It's superbly done even my girlfriend likes it (shes not really into a lot of this style music but she thinks its awesome). I have no complaints if/when I get my next sum of cash IF you shall receive some cash.

High Quality stuff. Everybody should download this, then post here. Show your support for a fellow BMS artist.

I love Dain Olsen.

Nice... I will free some time for a download later.

aether · 04-07-2007, 09:54 PM

Sorry I haven't been able to give you a full review. Still trying to kick a fever. Strep throat / flu or whatever.

At the very least, I'll say that I absolutely love Trip the Breaker. I love the atmosphere .. that dark, chuggy mood .. it's not very often you hear vocal stuttering used through an entire song without it becoming tired by the end.

More feedback to come once my head clears up.

Congratulations and great job.

GOD GODDY · 04-08-2007, 02:36 PM

I'm gonna begin my download right after this post, and if you do not receive $20 in the next couple of days, send me an IM and I'll get on it.

Downloading as we speak

I expect good things =)

Its important to note that I am not a very big trance or modern breakbeat enthusiast, but what I do have is undying appreciation for music.

Some of these songs (such as Freefall) would be great for trance events.

The album has top notch production value, but honestly, I can see this fading into the generic/mainstream breakbeat/trance scene, which is good and bad at the same time. Please dont take this offensively, but a lot of these songs remind me of the installation music that played when I installed cubase. It just fits in with the expected a lot.

Beautiful sounds, wonderful atmospheres litter this whole album. I really am impressed by the quality production put into the songs. It sounds fantastic, I only wish my music can come out so crystal clear. You certainly have producing skills! You make Tiesto look and sound like shit in my book.

Favorites songs by far:

Freefall
Sensation of Space
Trip the Breaker

Overall: 8/10. Any breakbeat/trance heads will definitely enjoy this album, and its a great start for something that definitely has the potential to get better. Fantastic, fantastic production value. Some songs tend to just blend in and sour after a while, but there are definitely some moments to experience in this album.

PS: Which song did you win with at broadjam btw?

Beatdrop · 04-11-2007, 05:02 AM

The song that won the contest for me was "Until Forever," the last song created for the first disc. Also entered was "Here Stand We Who Defy Gravity," which was either overlooked or just wasn't as good. I'm not sure which, if either, and I don't care, because I think I personally like "Until Forever" more.

I know this is late, but I just got here and I'm downloading the album now. I took a listen to "Until Forever" earlier and I loved it. Great stuff.

I am a trance/techno/breakbeat fan myself.
