Vyrtual Zociety – Sci Fi Citizen (EP – Sector Industrial Producciones)
Genre/Influences: Electro-Pop, Future-Pop, EBM.
Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: Vyrtual Zociety is a project driven by Carlos Limon assisted by Kathya Miranda. A few EP’s were already released; “Sci Fi Citizen” being released last year and features ten songs.
Content: The title song is carried by a solid kick and an aggrotech lead while featuring some vocals’ effects. Seven remixes have been featured; Data, Nordika, Conkreto System, Dimitri Berzerk, Reflection, Vox Humana and Vyrtual Zociety took care to bring variation to the original edit. We also get 2 extra songs.
+ + + : “Sci Fi Citizen” is a cool song and the perfect cut for an EP title track. I like the diversity of the remixes and want to mention the somewhat darker version by the Mexican project Conkreto System and the empowered, danceable Electro-Pop edit by Dimitri Berzerk. Another remix I want to mention is the darker injected one by Vox Humana.
– – – : Both other songs “Voices Of The Future” and “Nuclear Survivor” left me a bit skeptical, not adding a true bonus to the EP.
Conclusion: The title song of this EP sounds pretty cool for the mix of electronic styles and seems to be a great source of inspiration for the artists who accomplished a remix.
Best songs: “Sci Fi Citizen – Dmt Berzerk”, “Sci Fi – 2020 Remix”, “Sci Fi Conkreto System Remix”.
Rate: (7).
