Provocative lyrics and hard driving beat. DJX
analog controls manipulated on the fly to
create some interesting variances. Pounding industrial sounding
rhythms. Great chorus/bridge.
Almost on the verge of becoming metalish in sound. Distinct
blend of the DJX intermixed
with a plethora of trashy sounding voices. Excellent use of
the DJX overall. This is a good mix.
I enjoyed the overall drive and rhythm. The vocals made it sound
a little along the lines of
something you might find in an action intensive movie. I think
the vocals could have been a little
more intense and would have liked to have heard a little more
intensity on the clashing and
trashing sounding voices. I could imagine this being used for
a Nightmare On Elm Street Movie.
Nice grooving bass.

This thing is crazy! I couldn't understand the lyrics, but
this thing is intense, intense, and almost
evil sounding. Sounds like Freddy Kruggar is singing it! It's
got some really crazy, driving,
tripped out, funky sound mix in the beginning that is a good
sort of weird. Nice guitar. Love the
rhythm and use of clashing that almost sounds like a stalled
car trying to startup. Simple bass
and very digital sounding drums. There was really nothing
very distinctly DJX in the overall
composition so that helped lower the score. It's a really
creative and hip mix.

Shortly after writing this review
I got an email from Dave making a good point about my comment,
"There was really nothing very distinctly DJX in the overall
composition so that helped lower the score."
Dave mentioned the fact that unlike many other keyboards, the
DJX has the ability to blend nicely into a
musical composition. He also mentioned that the bass on "Introduce
The Virus" was performed on the DJX.
