Cutting Edge Stuff Soaring through the canyons and over the valleys on the Moon...that's where you'll find this guy. He's Yanni with a hip-hop groove, add tasty drumming; then haunting 3D guitar/synth pass... and you got some really great stuff. His Jazzy-sweet piano meanders over the orchestra as fretless bass and drums bring you softly around to inner peace .....and when it hits your ears....you'll just say he's the Wizard of A-h-h-hs !!

A Techno Electro Dance Trance Extravaganza
PsybreSonikK's mission is to utilize the electronic genre to generate intoxicatingly atmospheric and often intensely energetic music that is "different" yet strikes a deep, primordial chord with listeners. Their Musical influences include:
Press reviews: ***PsybreSonikK's "The Vampire's Final Flight" was the featured MP3.COM Techno song on 12/21/99!***This techno/dance mix is the type of craft that is the most difficult genre for me to review. When I read other reviews of this genre, equipment seems to be one of the most discussed subjects. Me, I listen to what it conveys to my senses. Given the title it makes my job easier as you have been given an idea of the direction the artist wants to go in. The question is whether or not she sonically succeeds. In fact, I could see the Vampire struggle in flight, so for me this was a success. Give it a listen and see what you think.Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Artist; BMI Award Winning Writer. If Techno Trance Music is to completely come of age I believe Andrea might be the one to lead it there. |
