█▓█ 'This box set was originally supposed to be a series of split 7"s
█▓█ before Rocket Racer decided that it had been too long since there'd
█▓█ been a 7" box set, so they decided to release it as such. It has an
█▓█ interesting design theme to denote the six sides of the box, which
█▓█ is a rectangular box filled at six different levels, one for each
█▓█ side. It also comes with inserts for each band that are exact copies
█▓█ of the stickers on each 7".
█▓█ Portal's song, "Pulse" is a flowing wall of ambience driven by a
█▓█ quick beat. The hushed vocals are subtle and mixed very low, giving
█▓█ the song an understated feel. A great song!
█▓█ The And/Ors kind of stand out as the rock band on the box, with a
█▓█ lineup consisting of guitar, bass, drums, organ, and vocals. However,
█▓█ their song, "Bed of Nails," is quiet and slow with subdued vocals
█▓█ which blends in well with everything else in the box.
█▓█ "Summersend" is Yellow 6's contribution and is (of course) my obvious
█▓█ favorite in the box. The strum of an acoustic guitar every few
█▓█ measures covered in a washed out lead line gives way to a picked
█▓█ progression followed delicately by the lead. The electronic drums are
█▓█ there only to hold things together, never trying to take over or
█▓█ detract from the gorgeous song.
█▓█ Lackluster's song, "Mellifluence" is a sparse wash of ambience,
█▓█ consisting mainly of a quiet, barely attention-grabbing beat and a
█▓█ few tones that fade in and out. Random squeaks and quiet crashes
█▓█ punctuate the song and give it a unique character.
█▓█ Styrofoam's "So They Never Talked" has a heavy beat and thick
█▓█ keyboard melodies which are layered with clicks and taps to create a
█▓█ focused rhythm. The keyboard is then layered with an organ, and the
█▓█ beat gains a few extra layers, and so on. The layers are shed quickly,
█▓█ and in different order from how they were built. This accents
█▓█ different parts of the song very effectively.
█▓█ Tank finish off the box with "Twist/Run/Repulsion." Delayed guitar
█▓█ riffs and melodies are played through an electronic beat until the
█▓█ rhythm gains momentum and the riffs turn to steady notes with the beat.
█▓█ Moog tones come in, followed by a keyboard melody which ends the song.
█▓█
█▓█ This is a great set of 7"s, and the packaging theme is just the sort
█▓█ of thing I'm a sucker for. I must agree with Rocket Racer that it has
█▓█ been too long since a set like this was released. Hopefully this set
█▓█ will encourage other labels to follow suit.'
