I don't take this track too seriously because in my heart I know it's a wanna-be Peter Gabriel's Passion sound. This is more or less an experiment to try different styles with Propellerheads Reason. |

138.6 BPM Funky House track based on a latin percussion loop, vocal samples and synth stabs. Funk guitars and groovy bassline with some aggressive 303's added in....yeah a bizzare concept. For even more strangeness check out the rave version on www.mp3.com/ReBirthMP3 |

Filterama! Another Creation exclusively made with ReBirth. Instrumental/Sample based: 138 BPM track with a bouncy bassline and friendly chord progression, esoteric vocal and string pads which go through some dark changes. A somewhat bittersweet track. Created using the sample set in my "AXIOM_peace" mod for ReBirth RB-338 |

I like to think of this is as "good driving music". All Created with MIDI and tracked and mixed directly to Digital. There's no real melody, except for the basic piano chords but for some reason the results are very pleasing to the ears |

Created exclusively with REASON by Propellerheads Software. This is NOT the version available at the Propellerheads Website. 135 BPM track with a hybrid of Breakbeats and Techno and IDM. No fancy arrangements, just some hard hitting beats, gritty TB-303 action, and lots of effects. Scratching by SpinThis! (D. Ritter) and sample production from T.G. Virus' (NordBeat) Metallicon+ Mod. |
