Danceable industrial for every mood
author: the jax
Fully-realized compositions blend the styles of experimental trance and harder industrial. Haunting vocals and meaningful lyrics give extra depth. "Trains" and "Greper", the most mellow downtempo tracks, are simply beautiful. The rest are awesome clubhead floor-shakers. And yes, samples galore!

experimental, the atmospheric & the easily accessable merge
author: Re/Volt
Describing their sound as 'electro death pop' CTRL are an American quartet of Brad Mcallister, Joel Willard, Jason Fenimore & Kusser Smith.This 14 track demo which covers many different areas & styles of modern electronic music.Indeed,many possible labels could be applied to this music but none would totally fit the bill which is a testimony to the band's knack of producing tracks where the experimental, the atmospheric & the easily accessable merge together into one seamless whole.That's not to say that this is a messy hotpotch of disparate styles as there is a sense of cohesion throughout the whole album.

Everything is mixed and sequenced perfectly. The vocals aren't too dominant or buried in the mix, either. Production for the most part is top notch and sounds very professional. Ctrl has a very Wax Trax-inspired sound and fans of that label's bands will truly dig this album a lot. Ctrl mixes a lot of different styles on is burning... and the diversity of the release is what really captured my attention
