Guest [Anonymous] Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 This release is quite diverse as these 2 tracks are totally different. WEREWOLF is a bit monotonous to my taste but minimal followers will love it. It reminds me of their older track SATANIC WARS. a dark & simple track for the early stage of the evening. WHAT'S AKABAR is a much better track, moving towards the clubby sound,and features some nice rim shots and a steady groove. Overall, a decent release from TEGMA but stands out for WHAT'S AKABAR. 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stormbringer Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Tegma - Werewolf / What's Akabar Artist: Tegma Title: Werewolf / What's Akabar Label: Digital Structures Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. Werewolf 02. What's Akabar Review: Tegma comes from Sweden. Don´t be deceived by the names of the members, Omar Chelly & Iason Orfanidis. This 12" is one of their first releases but they´ve released several tracks on different compilations too. After a couple of really nasty (in a good way!!!) ep´s by 12 Moons and Bigwigs from Digital Structures comes something of a mix between the old (slow and boring) Digital Structures-sound (which I don´t like) and the new dark nasty hypnotic sound (which I love). "Werewolf" (5/10) got a creepy atmosphere with lots of werewolfhowls in the backgroundand and a grinding beat follows you from the beginning to the end. But to be frank, it bores me to death if I don´t pitch it +2. Those of you who have read my reviews before know that I don´t appreciate slow monotonous zombietrance that much, and this track hasn´t got enough of that kind of dark evil air that I like. It hasn´t got much of a hypnotic beat either. "What´s Akabar" (3/10) has some similarities with the warm groovy sound of Ticon but this track isn´t nearly as good as their music. I don´t like the early releases from Digital Structures or Iboga for that matter, but if you´re into that kind of trance don´t listen to me. To be honest... I can´t judge if this is a good ep or not, but I can tell you that I don´t like it that much and that it soon will fall into oblivion as far as I´m concerned.

Guest edoardo[at]neurobiotic[dot]com Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Guys, i'm not a lover of progressive monotone stuff as well, but Werewolf is a real killer in my opinion, technoid paranoic sounds, killer for beginning a good night set 9/10 for me....the other track is a good progressive one, not boring at all 7.5/10.

hujaboy Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Agreat 12" with great tracks whats akabar i the fav. Keep bringing da good stuff Omar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MK Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I think What's Akabar is a top single: it has a steady groove and nice feel to it. I was suprised that the flip-side (Werewolf) could be so tacky. Worth getting for "Whats Akabar" alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaySatanicHippie Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 True, the flipside is somewhat Tacky, but Whats Akabar kicks ass. Realy good debut release, well produced and very well done.

Guest Syre Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 What's Akaber could be the best track of 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moog Spectral Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Werewolf is scary. Pure Dancefloor stuff and as Stormbringer said, it has to be pitched up. Have you guys heard of "mixing tunes"??:-) MIX YOUR MUSIC GUYS, choose the best 4 minutes of the tune and skillfully fade it up with some other bomb behind to create an AMBIENCE of your own!! I can insure you that no good tune is boring when they are well mixed up!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
