First Noisia tune I've enjoyed in a while, sounds like it's from 6 years ago!

Liking the synth work but the drums are a bit standard.
Unusual for them, normally can't fault the sound design/mixdown.

They've been simplifying their sound again. Their tune with Evol Intent, the recent remix of the Black Sun Empire tune, etc. I like it, it keeps them from going all-out Amon Tobin on us (who's recent music feels like a portfolio for sound design work)
There's a trend in going back to a harder neuro and darkstep sound in drum & bass again. Hard dnb has turned into hardcore, and I like it, but not when it's sacrificing funky drums and dirty reeses completely.
Now we need some more well produced pots n pans stuff too and dark dnb is dope again.

Yeah im all for simplifying their sound, especially the direction they ended up going in recently with MASSES of stuff going on in the tunes but the end product being a bit wack.
Just don't really like the break i spose whole tune sounds a lot like Planet Dust as well

No I agree, if it's one thing I don't like drum & bass producers skimping out on, it's drums. What drew me in in the first place is crazed out beats or detail. But the tune as a whole is still going in the right direction. If I had it my way they would've used more one shots layered on top and some drumfills, but alas.
I think I'm more excited about what the tune hints at than the tune itself though.

^ that was only last year, they still make a lot of good music.
Yeah I like what he's been on lately. An updated turn of the century techstep type sound. Bassline recycles a tune from his last album though. But this tune is better.
