Two tracks for the second installment! The marketing practically writes itself!

S|r NutS's track, Ashtar's Desires, feels significantly less trance-like than his other works. This is good for someone like me who gets extraordinarily nauseous at even the merest whiff of trance. I can generally sit through this song and only need to vomit my brains out ONCE, which is bragable. S|r NutS drags out what's my favorite part of the original song (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo) into a 4 minute work. The best points are when he really lets go with that. Best points being the intro (which manages to be a BIT lengthy, but pays off) and the piano -> flute -> synth at 2'38, finally breaking out to the full on thing at 3'25. That makes me feel warm inside. Those interim parts, though? They could probably use a little work. Also, the song just seems to DIE, as many trance songs do (to give the ravers a chance to score some more eX).

But could I drive to this?: As it is, this song makes me envision many a night of trying to make the 20 minute highway return from dropping off a friend in ~10 (less, if I'm good!). The peppier parts of this song would have no problem putting me in "the zone" for 90 mph driving and quick lane cuts. However, should I hit a slow part when I get to that part of the highway with the super hairpin curve then my poor driving skills and lack of a car with adequate turning radius will ensure that I'm going to feel nothing but the warm embrace of the concrete tunnel's wall. Do you want that on your conscience, S|r NutS?

egM is a curious sort of fellow that I've never been able to get a handle on. The guy seems more than able to hold his own in this piece, and when that little "doo doo doo DOO DOO DOO DOO" that I love so much starts to kick in at 0'38 I'm on nothing but cloud nine. A mix with more presence than S|r NutS (though with a noticably dirtier feel) I would say that I'm quite happy with this. It sucks that, like with S|r NutS's work, this song just fades away, but I suppose this will lead to easy repetition. With less than 3 minutes of run time you could probably just repeat this song until you threw up. If you need a better endorsement than that, well, I don't know what to tell you!

But could I drive to this?: When I imagine scenarios of where this song can come in handy, it is when I need to power race to school those mornings where I say to myself "I have a car available to me today, I can wait until a quarter of ten to make the twenty minute drive to school". With enough volume, I think this song would aid me quite admirably in my frenzied 8 minute run down Lancaster avenue.
