Parasense is famous for a totally dark sound picture. Their music is very monotonous, but not minimal. You get a lot of tiny psychedelic sounds in between now and then, and usually a little melody at the end. The first track is the same style as on the Apple album. Very hard pumping dark trance with a few small psychedelic sounds. Track 2 goes the same style, but after a few minutes you get a cool dark melody that sounds like heavy guitars. Track 4 follows with high bpm and a lot of scary noisy sounds. No light sounds to be found here… Track 5 is another fast going stumper, with dark industrial sounds. Reminds me a lot of techno, with very monotonous rhythms and sounds. Track 6 goes the same direction, but maybe with some more massive sounds. Track 7 has even more scary and noisy sounds, but still monotonous. Track 8 is better, with more psychedelic sound picture, still very dark. The last track on the album goes the same style. Pure dark night trance.

This album isn`t much different from their first. In my opinion it sounds a bit simple, but it will for sure please some of you who like hard banging dark psy. Russian trance is a bit overestimated in my opinion.
