Hold your Colour: Pendulum

Advantages: Awesome Sounds!
Disadvantages: Some songs lack the magic

...Tracks such as Hold your colour blew my mind. Tarantula...a great collaboration with $pyda! These guys produce some amazing sounds, mixtures of distortion, heavy bass beats and some incredible drum work really come together to make some sounds you'll almost certainly not be able to help yourself raving to. This stuff just gets you moving! whether you can help it or not! If you like groups such as Prodigy or Sub-focus...you'll love these guys. ...

Review of Hold Your Colour - Pendulum

In Silico

Advantages: Nice, fast dance music that'll will get you moving
Disadvantages: Doesn't "Fell" the same as their last effort...More mainstream :(

...raving all over the place in a trance, but it just seems different./ The sounds seem smoother and better blended though, there aren't any real grinding bass line, But it's still fast, frantic stuff! If you loved the first album and other singles they put out, you have to listen to this! Its good, but not as good as previous efforts. But fans will love it and its a good place to start if your just discovering the fantastic sounds these guys produce ...

Review of In Silico - Pendulum

We are the BreakBeat Kaos!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: All Star Cast feat. feat.
Disadvantages: --

"2 CDs packed with Drum 'n' Bass legends and enough breakbeat to deafen an elephant for less than a tenner? I'll have it!" Pendulum only mixed this one, and I was hoping it would live up to the pendulum name, whilst I was slightly worried that this would ust contain more mediocre drum 'n' bass numbers. It did live up to the pendulum name, and whilst it is as offending and cruel as Hold your Colour, it has a fresh && Exiting insight into all things ...

Review of Junglesound Gold (Mixed By Pendulum) - Various Artists

You're Too Young To Be A Soundboy

Advantages: Some big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

“Hold Your Colour” was released in 2005 as the debut album from the Australian Drum & Bass act Pendulum. This album found them bringing a commercially-friendly Drum & bass sound that gave them the chance to breakthrough (unlike most acts in this genre), however they would go on to over-do it with their second album “In Silico” to their point where they lost their Drum & bass foundations. 1. “Intro” 2. “Slam” They get the album going with one of their ...
...break away into the mainstream with material that has them moving the general Electronica sound towards something that fits in with the styles that were prominent in the contemporary Drum & Bass scene and they achieved it effectively (although the synth at the breakdown wasn’t really that impressive). **Four Stars** 3. “Plasticworld” I saw this one as an improvement on the last for the fact that it took things further down towards where the Drum ...

Review of Hold Your Colour - Pendulum

Pendulum - In Silico. A New Album A New Sound.

Advantages: New Sound, Original, Its Pendulum
Disadvantages: Not for everyone, New Sound

...was due to be released in mid March, then got pushed back to mid April, and has now been released on May 12th. Pendulum have released two singles from the album so far, these have been "Granite" and "Propane Nightmares". Granite, being released on 4th November 2007 and Propane Nightmares on 12th March. The term "In Silico", the title of the album, means a process that is simulated on a computer or within a computer simulated environment. This title ...
...changes, much like it does in "Another Planet" on the album "Hold Your Colour" except without the "Suddenly there was a change voiceover". The synths play a lot more of a role during this part of the song, the bass is still pushing through at a fast pace making for a thoroughly enjoyable song for the duration- 5 mins 28 secs. My rating for this track would be 10/10, switching from a fast pace to a slow pace at many times in the song I have enjoyed ...
