Mixerr Album Reviews #2,281

Exzakt ‎– Evolve is one of the most overlooked and underrated electronic albums out in music history. The album was surely ahead of its time for 2001 as Exzakt incorporates futuristic techno sounds instead of the typical processed electro sounds found on any other electronic album. There are some songs on the album that rely heavily on that retro electro sound such as Sleeping With The Enemy.


Sleeping With The Enemy uses robotic vocal samples over 808 dance beats that use a retro sound. This song relies heavily on that electro sound. Synths that he uses are gritty, loud, and on point. This song can do numbers on the dance floor. However this song can get repetitive and annoying to some people. But that does not stop this song from being a great song for the dance floor.

Clarity was an Exzakt classic which was produced by Larry McCormick in 2001. The distorted synths and distorted bass make this Exzakt song very unique as he usually uses clean processed electric synths on his songs. This song mixes electro with jungle house. Notice the drums and bass. Now the drums and bass part layers of this song makes up the jungle house portion for Clarity. Nevertheless Clarity is still a favorite among Exzakt fans.

Rhadoo was the DJ who was responsible for mixing and producing Outside Looking In. Yet somehow Outside Looking In one of Exzakt’s lesser known songs for some apparent reason. Some of the beats used are quite thin but in perfectly with the electric synths that are used. Fans undoubtedly slept on this song of his.

Off Course uses quite a futuristic soundscape with advanced enhanced filters which delay the synths into short notes. The beats used on this song are quite thin. Some plucks and high-pitched blips are added to the mix. But that doesn’t stop this song from doing numbers on the dance floor. Off Course was ahead of its time due to the use of such advanced enhanced filters which delayed those synths you hear. The song is similar to a crazy dream.

Electronic Dream is one of the sickest tracks ever produced for Exzakt! This is one of the highlights off Evolve. Here the bass chords have been transformed into electronic bass synths from a keyboard. This song is a perfect electronic song.  

I rate this single 5/5*****!!
