| Empty Pieces by yello73 | Reviewed: December 13, 2008 | ||
| With a moody opening featuring some classic dialogue from the moon landing, this song really kicks into gear at the half minute mark: Drums and bass create a tight groove over some deliciously laid ba... Read full review | |||
| To Be Frank by edcowan1 | Reviewed: October 09, 2008 | ||
| Some gorgerous electric piano chords and a wicked synth bass line starts off a two chord vamp in this smooth chillout track, and although the opening holds a lot of promise, the rest of the track does... Read full review | |||
| Shuffle on down the Rhodes by trekkiejj | Reviewed: October 07, 2008 | ||
| Here is a great, no nonsense, thorougly funky piece of jazz-rock fusion in a simple four-piece band setup, with no extra frills or effects. It captures all the fun of a great band kicking back and jam... Read full review | |||
| Chilling in a Nebula by mechanoflora | Reviewed: October 07, 2008 | ||
| So you've flown past the outer rings of Betelgeuse, you've delivered some mining equipment on a desolate planet orbiting Rigel, and now you've headed over to the Horsehead Nebula: it's time to set the... Read full review | |||
| Reka by Viszlat | Reviewed: September 24, 2008 | ||
| Here is a gorgeous solo piano piece that hasn't received the attention it richly deserves. At the time of this review, this song has been available at Trax in Space for one year and two months, and du... Read full review | |||
| Those were evil times by athos | Reviewed: September 19, 2008 | ||
| Extremely stark and pensive piece that never quite manages to fulfill its promise. Unfortunately, not enough attention to detail means that the song ends up sounding unfinished. Still, it's well worth... Read full review | |||
| Point Zer0 by K-Lyd | Reviewed: September 12, 2008 | ||
| A short track featuring a good ol'timey chip-sounding synth riff and a bouncy, danceable rhythm. Although it's fairly competently put together, it needs either greater rhythmic complexity or a stronge... Read full review | |||
| Picnic by DuskWire | Reviewed: September 10, 2007 | ||
| One fine, smooth piece of music that delivers everything you'd expect from a chillout track. Deep bass, sampled drumbeat, warm pads, and a laidback, funky atmosphere all the way through. Some of the i... Read full review | |||
| Strand by hukka | Reviewed: September 05, 2007 | ||
| Overall a very nice slice of ambience. Some synthetic marimba (?) work and a couple of elegant details makes this track stand out a little bit from your average ambient track. A couple of arrangement ... Read full review | |||
| Thoughts of Steel by cdnalsi | Reviewed: July 26, 2007 | ||
| What a way to start the day! I thought I'd just check by TiS really quickly, but this song caught my
ear and I simply had to praise it in a review! This song features jazzy beats, an ever-evolving... Read full review | |||
| 7 by Breakthru | Reviewed: July 17, 2007 | ||
| A smooth little piece of ambient, faturing lush and swelling synths, subtle guitar and piano work, and an unintrusive beat throughout. Altogether a very enjoyable track, but a couple of minor issues p... Read full review | |||
| Do Not Detach by mickrip | Reviewed: July 16, 2007 | ||
| This is one very enjoyable slice of nicely chilled ambient, featuring unintrusive female wordless vocals and just the right balance between repetition and variation. And WHAT a mood in the opening!... Read full review | |||
| Calamity by Tyr | Reviewed: July 16, 2007 | ||
| This is a song with a very unfinished feel. After a very good intro that sets a great mood and seems to hold the promise of things to come, things instead just settle down and maintain the same melody... Read full review | |||
| Christmas waltz by Stout | Reviewed: July 12, 2007 | ||
| My, how very baroque! Even for its short running length, this is about as good as it gets. There are a couple of issues, namely in the sound department, but as it does not detract from the listener's ... Read full review | |||
| Nos veran saludando desde tan alto by Likuid | Reviewed: July 06, 2007 | ||

| Answers and Questions by mickrip | Reviewed: July 03, 2007 | ||
| Two closely mic'ed acoustic guitars in beautiful harmony playing a serene melody that picks up in intensity throughout. Overall, however, this song sounds like a diamond cut to shape, but not yet give... Read full review | |||
| Just Cant Move by Wiseman | Reviewed: July 03, 2007 | ||

| Floating equilibrium by Qumran | Reviewed: July 03, 2007 | ||

| Fall on the Glass Plateau by YellowArcher | Reviewed: July 02, 2007 | ||
| Lovely ambient piece that creates a wonderful, rainy and somewhat disturbing atmosphere. Overall, the song is too heavy on the lower frequencies to remain 100% enjoyable throughout, but it really is a... Read full review | |||
| love lost by hiddenplace | Reviewed: July 02, 2007 | ||
| Gorgeus soundscape which brings Vangelis to mind already after the first two notes on the lead synth. A slight lack of variation is the main issue here, although enough efforts is put into subtle effe... Read full review | |||

| Camel Ride by Qumran | Reviewed: July 01, 2007 | ||
| Nice, laid back, Arabic-tinged song with a lack of variation as its biggest flaw. Also, this is a tracked song that on purely technical terms hasn'taged very well. However, a plus is given for the nic... Read full review | |||
| Reindeers jumping through fired donuts by Gazus Snake | Reviewed: July 01, 2007 | ||
| Fun chip song that really manages to catch that old-school feeling. I could easily imagine this music in a Razor 1911 splash screen before the actual game starts loading. Solid handiwork.... Read full review | |||

| Robot Computer by thekhin | Reviewed: June 29, 2007 | ||
| A fun and slightly campy song that ends up sounding like a cross between Herbie Hancock (as another reviewer suggested) and Kraftwerk. Some issues in production means a lower rating than I would other... Read full review | |||
| Mirando Fotos by Likuid | Reviewed: June 29, 2007 | ||
