Review:

 

Exaile = Skazi wannabe? Some parts are identical to Skazi. The bass and

bassline is a copy/paste from Skazi. Good or bad? You decide. This kind of psy

is very easy-listened. The sounds are well chosen and doesn't fry your brain

as some stuff can do. My guess is that this will prolly work best on the

dancefloor instead of your home. However he does know how to do those insane

pauses to build up pressure. Good job.

Final Verdict: 7/10

[Guest Le Lotus Bleu]

After a short nicey intro, you need to wait during the next 2 tracks, as Suzzy

Surprise & Tunnel has really nothing soecial to offer apart empty space and

boredom ,before having some tasty Exaile stuffs between your ears.

 

Connection, from far the sweetest tracks from the album with some fluffy synths

which comes at around 3 minutes and also on the end. At 5:30, some very soft

electric riffs are added.

it?s probably the more subtle stuff from this album, a kinda morning with dull

sound indeed.

 

The Mad Midget has a groovy bassline with a usual up & down Exaile sound and

some tones hammered in the background then comes the break and arrives the

typical exaile?s sound gimmick : on the same time powerfull & deaf ,

concerning the melodic sound which follows this it?s quite metallic &

boisterous.

 

Here comes the most pumping section of the album with the next 3 tunes.

First, Tied Up (remix) very few things to say about it except that?s the

typical effective Shaffel?s sound so closer to Skazi?s production especially

after the break sample « ladies & gentleman, we?re experiencing technical

difficults, please stand by ».

 

Since the beginning, Miss Justin catches you with darker sounds and let guess

rougher tones & a madnessss adrenalistic explosion in his build up. All that

things expected, happened just after the fucking break with the warning alike

gimmick which goes on after & the amazing sample «hey Miss Justin, shake your

ass, baby, shake your ass » which completly drives you crazy.

 

 

Terrible bad news, with his joke on word-title Exaile with X-Ailes, the band

didn?t win the « Laughing Academy ». Hopefully, the musical content of

X-Ailes is largely betterin the same style as Tied Up, but better with

distorted electric guitar riffs and the recurrent,haunting woman sample «

dream on » .

 

The 2 last tracks are definitively the darkest & roughest of the album.

Give A Head is extreme, draws nearer to kinda mix of hardcore & industrial

music composed of sharp metallic squeaking sounds and a bassline which is not

far to rumble, to throb, but all in all this one keeps mostly dark full on

oriented and don?t go minimal at anytime for my mind.

 

Behind Give A Head, Ten Hours Out seems softer at first. But a grovvy still

dark & loud bassline remain, and also a slapping rythmic, indeed reminds a bit

of KURO ? Precision but with highly sharped tones added.

 

Best moments :4,7,8

Nica stuffs :5,6,9

 

In my opinion, it just lacks more tracks like The Mad Midget or stuffs

appearing on compilation in the spirit of The Low and Panik, instead of

tracks 2,3&9 to this album in order to be a good album, so as a result i rank

it as a nice one.

 

Mark :7,5/10
