Cryonica is into dance till death: therefore expect nothing but dance floor oriented music. Honestly I was afraid it was one of those boring cd that make you wonna skip from the first track to the last one right after the first listening, but thanks to god I was wrong. Hey you dancing queen out there, this is rave oriented music and most of the tracks on both of the cd s are somehow dark or not "in yer face" techno. Yes, techno and 4/4 rhythms are the basic rules of the game, the sampler is over all heterogeneous but the receipt remains almost the same. The first cd is the one I prefer, probably it has to do with the fact it's the most refined of the lot, but there're some "hot kicks" on the second one too. Thee Hyphhem, Blue October, and Fiction 8 (with their Depeche Mode mood) are good but Diskonnekted and Swarf are my favorite names on the first one. The second cd opens in the most direct way with Spiritual Reality and with Militant Cheerleaders On The Move but it gets a bit boring though the high energy overdose is still in the vascular system. If you're looking for some Chicago or Detroit influences you'll find them here and there but most of the bands have a european sound. Bowie would have commented by saying: "...Put on your red shoes and dance the blus".
