A Force - Spectral Strike / Network Overload [Compressor]

This is an interesting release. The sounds on both sides are driving and intense (by my standards anyway ) I would classify this as psy trance.

Spectral Strike

SAMPLE: (RIGHT CLICK -- SAVE AS)
MP3
REAL PLAYER (Full length sample!)

I definitely like the driving sound of this track. There are some nice subtle changes to the baseline and other sounds throughout the track to keep it interesting. The eery background sounds that remain throughout help to give it that "spacey" feel. The use of filter (flanger?) effects at different times in the track sounds interesting.

7.5/10

Network Overload

SAMPLE: (RIGHT CLICK -- SAVE AS)
MP3
REAL PLAYER (Full length sample!)

Once again, some cool layers of sound on this track. The baseline is wicked! The overall feel of this track is summed up perfectly by the title - Network Overload Nice, short breakdown in this track with a cool sample, before it builds up to the climax. I don't know how to really describe the synths in this track but they certainly compliment the other sounds. Great track overall!

9/10

I agree that "Network Overload" is better than "Spektral Strike" but hat's not saying much because both of these tracks are very very very typical in the world of psy-trance and they'll easily get lost amongst all of the other psy-trance songs being released now-a-days.

hahaha.. And I got flamed on another thread for calling A-Force 'Psy'.

It looks solid, I'll be picking this one up for sure.

I am quite sure this was released in 2001. It was the first release from A Force and Revolution on ITWT was from 2002 so this must be from before then.

I think it is. Picked these tunes up some time ago. Neither's my bag but then I'm not really into psytrance. Will be hard to ever top Atomic Outbreak/Gravitational Wave.

The Prayer did not appear on 12" neither did anyother tune of his Cosmic Experience album as far as I know, so only on cd, anyhow the album is worth every last penny imo.

Don't have the album either, difficult to get goa-music somewhere here in Belgium
