Yes I finally got it, and it was
really worth the wait. Beginning with a rhythm that sounds strangely like
the heartbeat noise on the old Star Trek, it turns into a lively synth
exploration bordering somewhere between house and dub. I have nothing but
good things to say about this album - I listen to it more than Namlook
X now, and that's saying something. Track 3, "No Comment," is
an acid-y track that will always make me think of playing Descent, and
track 5, "dub," is an appropriately titled work that explores
the relationship between acid house and synth-dub. Good stuff. overall

I remember Will-e telling me this was really good- better than Xangadix-
and I have to agree. Well, I like them both very much. Monochill opens
with a nice smooth dubby track- very much in the same vein as the last
track of Xangadix. Voltage Control starts on a rather somber note, but
then picks up to the point where No Comment kicks in. This is a really
nice track- an ambient acid trancer. Very nice. I find myself wishing
that it would suddenly take off and really speed up, but it keeps that
nice shuffling tempo the whole way through. Compress It continues on the
same path- a bit quicker, some piano riffs- excellent stuff all around.
Dub is a 30 minute trek into the dub and trance that Pino and Wildjamin
are so good at. Great stuff all around...if you like any of the Pino/Wildjamin
releases, check out the others. The ones with Dr. Atmo are good as well,
though more on the chill side. They all contain excellent pieces of ambient
trance.
