Now available by Benway, this great new alternative techno and dance CD
Feel the irony, be uplifted, be scared or confused... just don't sit still!!! CLICK HERE to check out the mp3s and real audio previews, or to buy the CD... or read on, for the full track listing and descriptions. Track Listing and DetailsTrack 1 - Darkness (MP3 and streaming real audio preview available)Dark and moody, with a voiceover by Benway that's reminiscent of War of the Worlds. Inspired by the book 'War In Heaven' by David Zindell, this tune has a driving beat, more squeaks and bleeps than you can wave a big stick at, and a few things to catch you out. Track 2 - Grooving In The Shadows A pure club dance track, extremely catchy, with a brass section you won't be able to sit still to. Almost 70's in places, with just a hint of that 'wacca wacca' guitar sound... you may love it, you may hate it, but you sure won't be able to ignore it. Track 3 - Can't Keep This Up Starting with just the slightest suggestion of early 80's Gary Numan, circa 'Cars', and then pile-driving into the heaviest, most dancable sub-bass groove you've ever heard. Percussion that's totally off it's head, electronic piano from hell, and techno syths that just won't quit. High energy? Hell yeah!!! Track 4 - WHUGH! (MP3 and streaming real audio preview available) This begins with a very persistant bassline, and then shimmers into the most other-worldly synths that'll turn your head inside-out (heard Front 242 - OFF? You'll know what I mean.) Play this LOUD, and you'll beg for mercy. Then, just as you think you've got your head around it, you hear something you least expected.... wtf is that flute doing??? If it doesn't leave you screaming for more, you must already be dead from brain overload. Oh yeah... the drums will probably kill you anyway. Track 5 - Happy Sunday Driving Happy happy... joy joy... SPLAT!!! Nuff said! Track 6 - Laugh Or Else I'll Cry As the title suggest, this one's bitter-sweet. All at once it's uplifting, with a certain energy that'll make your pulse race, like a fresh wind racing through open windows, but at the same time, there's this hint of sadness and loss. There's a story behind this tune, but I'm not telling you. Ending with orchestral strings, and dramatic drums... this is a 'must hear' track. Track 7 - Turn Down The Lights (MP3 and streaming real audio preview available) This GRINDS, and in the best possible way. The cheeky robot voice speaks for itself, as the bass, and utterly dancable synths beat you into submission. You can't sit still for this tune. Already massively popular, the number of people who've requested this track on CD doesn't bear thinking about. Quite simply, dance through devious audio perversion (imagine Depeche Mode on steroids)... crank it up loud and blow those speakers to hell! Track 8 - Silent Night Be afraid. Be very afraid! This is scary stuff. Imagine Kraftwerk and Trent Reznor getting together, and doing some bad acid... you might just get the picture. Don't listen to this before going to bed, you'll have nightmares. Track 9 - You Lied Quite simply, this track hurts. It hurt to make it, and it hurts to listen to it... it took some real guts to actually include it on the CD, as it's massively personal. Ever been scewed around by someone you were utterly in love with? Ever found out everything you truly believed in was a lie? This one's for you. Track 10 - Jadefire (MP3 and streaming real audio preview available) And then it happens, you meet someone new. She's happy, and playful, and full of life. She lifts you out of your depression, and puts the light back into your life. This isn't techno, it isn't dance... it isn't like anything you've ever heard. You will love this tune, because this tune is love. Your speakers will thank you for it. Don't be fooled into thinking this is something lightweight... love is a powerful thing. The brass will have you racing around like a lunatic, and the drums will blow your head off... and that's after everything else has raised your adrenaline to dangerous levels. Track 11 - Saphire Rain (MP3 and streaming real audio preview available) Acid house bass groove coupled with symphonic rock synths... strange... very strange. Already a hit in certain clubs in america, so it seems. Aparrently, a DJ downloaded this, burned it to CD, and shared it with some DJ friends. I was very surprised one evening, while talking in an audio chatroom. This sweet young teen clubber said to me "Are you Benway?" I replied yes, I was. "Are you THE Benway... who did 'Saphire Rain'?" I replied that was indeed me. "OH MY GOD! I'm talking to THE Benway." I guess it's rather popular. Track 12 - Out Of The Dark Dark and chilling... very gothic. Deathly choirs, church organs, and then a bass guitar from a freshly dug grave. Imagine sitting in a church yard at midnight, full moon, mist rolling in from the nearbye river, and partying to Joy Division. When it reaches the end, you'll know you've made the journey.. you've come out of the dark. For free mp3 downloads, streaming real audio previews, or to buy the CD CLICK HERE |
