2gb without a screen is a bit much in my opinion. sometimes sure i just want to hear my favorite songs shuffled up. But other times I'm looking to find one specific song, artist or genre. Shuffling through hundreds of songs to find that one song would piss me off.

Phoenix
A little bit of everything with this cool progressive/Goa/Psytrance/chill combo!! Great album, inspired by manga legend Tezuka Osamu's Phoenix stories, not one to miss. Get this at psyshop.com for $14 rather than the $20-$30 Amazon is asking




The Sun & the Neon LightThe Sun & the Neon Light by Booka Shade



The Sun & the Neon Light
Booka Shade's 3rd album, another must have for the techno/Minimal crowd. More of a down tempo'd album than previous stuff, but some of their best work to date.

In Silico by Pendulum

Formed in Perth, Australia in 2002, Pendulum has sold
over 200,000 copies of their initial release Hold Your
Colour and have become a fixture in the UK music scene
with major airplay and appearances on BBC Radio-1 in
addition to features in Kerrang, Q, and Mix Magazines.
They have sold out every one of their live shows to date
and will be playing nearly every major festival this spring,
including Coachella on Friday, April 25th. The highly
anticipated new album In Silico hits stores May 12th in
the UK, and will be their first ever US release on May 13th.
Track Listing

1. Showdown
2. Different
3. Propane Nightmares
4. Visions
5. Midnight Runner
6. The Other Side
7. Mutiny
8. 9,000 Miles
9. Granite
10. The Tempes

Pendulum's 2nd Album, Should Be A Real Stormer If Comparable To Their 1st Release "HYC", if "Propane Nightmare" is any indication we're in for a real treat!!!

Customer Reviews

Wonderful Album
This album is wonderful, from start to finish. The selection may be a bit small(10 tracks), but every song could be two or three rolled into one. Although this is still Drum&Bass at it's core, Pendulum have done an amazing job of combining Rock with electronica. Some songs are very 80's, some very 90's, but all are uniquely Pendulum.

A new direction, indeed
This album is on the exact same level as Hold Your Own Colour (album). I don't think that any single song out-does Hold Your Own Colour (song) but the album as a whole has much more energy. Its not really hit or miss; each song had enough energy to prevent you from pushing "next" on your cd player. I can't pick out a favourite yet but I must say that "Different" and "The Tempest" are very high up. These songs tend to build up to a satisfying chorus or bridge. "The Tempest" actually reminds me alot of Tool. They've definitely moved a different direction than what many would've preferred. Many of the songs have a very "pop" sound to them but they are no less enjoyable. "9000 Miles" is another fantastic song but much more mellow than the rest of the album. I agree with other reviews that hardcore D&B fans will likely hate this album given the stark contrast from the first album.

A different direction but still good
This is definitely different from Hold Your Colour, but it's still enjoyable. Where the previous one was more drum and bass focused, this album has more rock and vocal to it. During the first few minutes of "Showdown," I was wondering if this was even the pendulum that I was thinking about (I listened to it on Rhapsody and wasn't sure if it was the right artist) but then the basslines started to pick up and I knew it was them.

In my opinion, the rock gives each song a little more meaning to it while at the same time giving each song an "epic" feel as it transitions from rock to drum and bass. The interesting thing about this album, as typical of Pendulum, is that each song is different and non-repetitive, making each song worth listening to unlike most mainstream drum and bass.

The only song I didn't like was "The Other Side." It had some unique beats to it, but the electronic voices throughout the song kind of drew away from the power of the song, and over all was just "weird."

A few reviews state that songs like mutiny, 9,000 Miles, and The Tempest are slow and never really pick up. I found 9,000 miles to definitely pick up with powerful bass and neat drums throughout the song. Mutiny has a different feel to it, kind of a jazzy down tempo feel, but is able to pull it together and make a sweet song. The Tempest, albeit slow as mentioned, has a lot of feeling behind it and is "epic" in its own way. This song features some foreign sounds along with a more rock sound, but listening to it gives the impression of being caught in a rain storm. I believe it makes for a very strong, proper ending to an album which is so high strung and powerful.
