In regular archefluxx (and hhc.com) fashion, it is time again!
Review
Anyways, time for my review:
01 - Endemic - Whispers (Rik Arkitech remix) - 2/5
____Very slow start on this track, but when it finally kicks in it becomes good. But the intro really ruins it for me
02 - Aryx - Solar Flare - 4/5
____Uplifting stuff, just the way I want it :)
03 - Substanced - Exodus - 5/5
____Typical Substanced stuff. Hard kicks and uplifting melody. Wish his free album was more like this one.
04 - Endemic - The Prophet - 2/5
____Oriental stuff sounds good, but overally the track sounds like a filler :/
05 - A.B - Qube - 1/5
____Filler track.
06 - Transcend - Out Of My Head - 2/5
____Same as above, but when the tracks kick in, it sounds nice.
07 - Douglas - Mycenae - 2/5
____Still can't stand Douglas stuff, but he makes good melodies.
08 - Lost Soul - Aliens in Pyjamas - 1/5
____Typical Lost Soul stuff, but lacking in energy :/
09 - Qygen - Past Blaster - 3/5
____From the name you can see where it tries to get inspiration from. Kinda long track.
10 - Proteus - Get Fire! - 0/5
____Industrial stuff. Defo not my kind of music.
Score:
01 x 5's
01 x 4's
01 x 3's
04 x 2's
02 x 1's
01 x 0's
---------
21 out of 50 points (42%)
Judgement: Well they did say that the album was meant to be a release filled with darker freeform. And as darker stuff doesnt necessarily mean slow & hard trance:ish, I'd say that this album has something for people who like either dark or energic fi-nrg, or as in the Proteus case, those who like industrial/hard trance.
PS. This is only a review of the unmixed tracks. As there is one more track on the Mixed CD, I will check that one out later.

Also, I already noticed a MAYOR typo, unless...
Well, There's a tracklist on the outside (with Whispers as track 1), but on the inside, the tracklist is different, with said song on track 7 instead.
... But on the inside, it says just below the tracklist "Mixed by Watchtower DJ's"

I haven't listened properly to all the songs, so I will listen a few more times before making a proper review. But so far the record is very... bland/average. Nothing really sticks out, except maybe the 2nd or 3rd track.

also noticed that there's one more track on the Mixed CD. Surely that track could've come on the unmixed CD aswell, there was atleast 8/14 minutes left (74/80 min)

It appears i've been given 2 unmixed CD's 
I suppose its better than bein given 2 mixed CD's as I only bought it to mix the tracks myself.
