This one man band, namely Guy chambers, from the UK is too much.  The sound effects are eerie, the beat is hypnotic, and the overall feel is like being drug underground and left in a dark cement walled tunnel with the echoes still bouncing around in your head to prove it.  In other words, it’s a little like the last meeting I had with my shrink.  But, I had the volume on my headset as high as it would go in order to catch the full experience.  I might not recover from that for a couple of days.   Fortunately, I had enough ear wax build up to prevent me from receiving permanent inner ear damage.

  At times the drum and bass parts verged on feeling a little repetitive, but the ear candy produced from the nicely layered sounds kept the tracks from getting stale, as can often happen with music in this genre.  I think the trick to keeping that from being a problem–especially if you want to maintain a repetitive feel for dance purposes–is to introduce some high pitched sounds in various counter timed segments to gently lead the audience’s attention away on a tangent.  It’s like, you almost expect to hear a plot builder in the background, such as a bit of subtle piano work walking about, to give the sense that there is something lurking in the shadows.  But, I digress.  The work of Quantum Soul is definitely something I would urge my readers to check out.
