Mixerr Album Reviews #2,428

Geoff Gains ‎– Tribal Patrol / 2 Dance was single that was released in 2004. Just before tribal house faded away as a sub-genre and disappeared. Tribal house was no longer trendy thus becoming less popular. This single was the follow-up single to his successful 2003 single called Sonik. Both of these tracks are layered with multiple drums and beats over a progressive tribal house sound.

Tribal Patrol is a unique track which uses several drums and beats over tribal house sounds. Tribal Patrol is an example of the days when Twisted America ruled tribal house music. A noticeable bass drop begins at 2:18 which is where you can feel the intensity rising as more instruments are simultaneously added. A set of creaking futuristic sounding synths can be heard at the 5:07 mark. Wicked buzzes can be heard at 7:28.

2 Dance uses more electronic beats than tribal house beats. The track is layered with multiple drums and beats over a progressive tribal house sound. The track is hot. Around the 6:00 is where you can hear more layers of instrumentation start to kick in. Now what makes this song calming and intense in the same setting is use of a didgeridoo. The didgeridoo can be heard around the 7:40 mark of this track. From  there on out, the didgeridoo is played until the end of the track. A muffled horn can be heard right around the 9 minute mark at 9:00.

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