Clone -- Midnight Sunrise

This track is full of synergy, energy and incredible beats. Undertones, overtones and some excellent quality "moozic." (I have the 100% legal FLAC (ORIGINAL CD MASTER -UALITY) file obtained a wee while ago. 8-))

A good solid multi-paced sound.

I highly recommend that you listen to it all the way through, as with some goa/psytrance it can be slow to start.

Have at it:

Aspen -- Just Be Good To Me (Extended Mix)

A hot new track from Aspen, released this year (we are 24 days into it as this was typed -- a little nugget of useless information for you there)

With a throbbing, good quality, rich beat throughout.

Add some vocals and a thick, deep sound and you have the track.

I can see that this would make for some excellent remixes into other tracks, perhaps a Kraftwerk high-pace semi-remix.

Rather interestingly, this track is not for sale, but for promotional purposes for the Dance Project.

Ntrance -- Set You Free

An epic, insanely popular smash of a track.

Needing no introduction to any lover of music and/or follower of the charts, this belter shot straight to the top (bar one) of the charts way back in '95. (Well, the number two slot anyway.)

Released again in 2001 as a not-quite-so-classic tune, you just can't beat the original. Apart from the film "Airplane II" that IS better than the original.

Things to listen for: Kelly Llorenna's distinctive vocals.

York -- On The Beach

First post of the new year, lets get straight to business...

... Another golden, electronic oldie!

If you haven't ever heard this you are either:

A: Newly born, congratulations on adding to the surplus population whilst contributing nothing but shitty nappies.

B: Stupid.

Lets get on with the music and stop the bitching.

I believe it was released back in 99/00. If that's wrong email one of the "team of one" here at MMP.

10☆/10★

(Best quality I could find at a reasonable source, if it's not up to scratch, use one of the YT url tricks that are so commonly found online.)

Cranberries, The -- Zombie

One last 10☆/10★ score, then some more 9's, 8's, 7's and 6's for ye. (No shit music -- that's a promise)

This time it's a brilliant (in the same way the video to No Doubt's "Don't Speak", Depeche Mode's "Precious" and Johnny Cash's (RIP) rendition of Trent Reznor's classic masterpiece "Hurt" was anyway) video, fabulous lyrics and an wondorously well included, ever-present, background theme of unease and war.

Of course, this theme refers to the aptly named "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland. This theme is not shown visually (THAT much) but rather portrayed through a songful of terrificly sung lyrics, which you can thank Dolores O'Riordan for.

Released in 1994, it's still being played on the radio today.

Enough waffle, you want some music. But it's my DUTY to educate the musical thickos of this world you see.

Give it a good stab with a very blunt and partially rusty knife: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MShJ8h7cEbE&fmt=18

10☆/10★

(Enjoy this video, if you come across a better source, please let one of the team know -- we try our best, but "we" (really "I" to be truthful) sometimes miss the best quality shizzles.)

Vibrasphere -- Tierra Azul (Gem)

I know, i've been handing out too many 10☆/10★ recently, but this is another one where it's appropriate.

Plus the fact that I am head of the "team of one" here at MMP and I alone make the rules, which in turn means that I alone can "bend" the rules, so there.

As always if you have any complaints take them up with the customer service department, who will give you the "single finger salute."

Anyways, on with the music! A proper beaut of a track.

(The quality of the above video is better in sound than in picture quality, at least it was on this machine. If you are having trouble with the video, or just have a shite connection.. try the bandwidth reduced non-HQ video -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAuQFgClvyQ)

Vibrasphere -- Manzanilla

This is 09:02 you'll not regret taking time out for.

With beautiful melodic riffs and clarity that is difficult to fathom, this track may well take you to a place safer and more wonderful than anything you had previously known.

Listen to it, there's precious little that mere words and letters can do to describe it.

Lie back, get all your best sound gear warmed up ((all 19+ drivers)twenty minutes or so before) and travel far far away, into another dimension of your limitless consciousness, your psyche is set to swirl.

10☆/10★ -- A rarity indeed, a sublime track has to have a sublime score.

(Interestingly the quality seems to be of a fairly good standard, but I have done a complete retune of everything recently so perhaps that has something to do with it. By all means if you come across a higher quality legal feed, a good *.FLAC for example, let us at MMP know!)
