different, the intro is excellent, and the drum programming is perfect. the melodies are nice, there's enough going on to keep my interest up and there's nothing to fault really. the break works really well, and there are some excellent sounds here

nice atmosphere at the beginning, and the short intro is good, straight into the action. i love the bassline, nice and powerful, and clean, which is great!! drum programming is immacculate (unlike my spelling lol). the background effects are great, and there's enough variation to keep me interested

quality introduction and top class sounds. the drums are brilliant, pounding away, and sound great. the break in the drums works, and keeps interest up, some great sounds mean that the occasional lack of melody isn't too noticeable, which is perhaps my only complaint about this track - the lack of real melody, but then again, a melody would sound out of place, so i'll shut up. excellent


dead emotions by cyborg: good stuff, i love the drum

good intro, atmospheric, and the background samples add to the mood. good pad work and good drums, and i love the way its not too dark with the lead line. the panned right sound gets annoying after a while, other than that great song.

excellent effects in the intro, although that bassline is slightly annoying at certain frequencies, but only slightly. the intro is slightly strong, but when the filtered drums kick in the track takes on another whole level. great samples again, and the break from the filtered drums is great. this track seems to be a bit repetetive, but only in places, and on the whole is excellent
