Review of Internal Combustion

Great as a bumper between pieces.. or the end of a program.
Having grown up on a farm driving Farmalls and John Deeres.. it was alot of fun.. and very creative.

Review of Internal Combustion

A nice chewy piece, well put together. Some of the samples have very warm, round sound, which I think contrasts nicely with the more abrasive bits...especially when the texture thickens.

Review of Internal Combustion

fantastic! masterfully put together... i love how in the piece sounds like a percussive symphony with cymbal crashes and all.
this would be great to hear mixed with other musical elements, beats etc.
play it on repeat and it sounds even better!
