Review:

Third album from Atomic Pulse, I wish it’s so good like the others :)

Track 1 (Quantum Mechanics) starts slowly (140 bpm) but with very energy and rhythm…Atomic Pulse’s kick bass line, always evolving…some breaks to refresh a little and then rhythm again.

Track 2 (Fatality) is done with Fatali and is a bit more pacific…nice and rhythmic kick bass line, some psy sounds that put some suspense on the track, beautiful open-air melody after the break...great one :)

Track 3 (Single Cell) is one of my favourites here…great rhythm, nice construction, nice and energetic breaks, a dancefloor killer for sure!

Track 4 (Amino Acid) is done with Cyrus the Virus…powerful bass line, nice and dreamy melodies…I think that this two projects have some future in collaborations between the two, I hope to listen more from them.

Track 5 (Direct Source) is undoubtedly my favourite here…strong bassline, a nice floating feeling from the start till the end, intense melodies – especially at the end, you have to hear it :)

Track 6 (Alternative Reality) is another dancefloor bomb…another time strong and power bass line, mixed with some quiet psy sounds full of effects…ideal for playing at morning hours.

Track 7 (Noise Freak) is very sweet and in my opinion better than the original...it has those beautiful sounds of the first one, with a progressive and rhythmic kick…melodies from beginning to the end, simply wonderful!

Track 8 (Kuromatic) is done with Dj Ta-Ka and has a great digital feeling…nice morning melodies, a break with a spectacular re-entering at middle, not my favourite but very good too.

Track 9 (Mateluna) is just more one, nothing new here…it has a good construction and that great Atomic style but apart from this is a bit boring.

Track 10 is the remix of Fire Dance…starts good, with some fresh kick and some quiet melodies…it has a lot of funny sounds but at middle has a break and from there to the end it has a melody that I think could be a bit less commercial…


For me it’s till now the best album from Atomic Pulse, all tracks have a great energy to be played at dancefloors, especially 3, 5, 6 and 7…all the album is very danceable and has a great rhythm associated, very good work :)


9/10
