The CD is broken down into no less than 25 categories.

Ambient (66.5Mb) - The collection starts off with a wonderfully evocative collection of slow, evolving pad sounds. Excellent movement and evolution of the samples in places, from simple breathy type pads to complex raindrop type effects, deep rumbles to alien landscapes. The patches are subdivided in to Dreamies, Evolvers, Sweepers, Lunar and Voyages which very neatly sum them up. Would be perfect for ambient/space type music or for anyone looking for a kind of "spaceship passes a planet to find something ominous behind it" kind of effect. Excellent, I spent way too much time with this section !

Bells (2Mb) - Couple of very nice "bell" sounds, excellently ominous at lower octaves.

Beats (47.6Mb) - Loops that range from a mere 39 BPM to 170 BPM, fairly well spread over the entire range of 60 of samples. There is quite a variety to the loops, from straight quite light sounding dance loops, to madly distorted industrial types. There are certainly some cracking loops in here, with some great "big" sounds, interspersed with some rather more anonymous ones. Compared to much of the rest of the collection I wasn't particularly inspired too much here, perhaps suffering from the excellence of other parts of the collection.

Chords (.2Mb) - Vinyl cracking soaked kind of siren effect...

DJ Noises (2Mb) - Maybe once human voices made to sound like a speeded up and slowed down effect loop, together with a stop effect, not bad at all.

Drones (18.3Mb) - Another truly excellent collection of synthetic sounds, dark deep slightly evolving sounds that rumble and shake the foundations. Some of the rumbles are almost sub sonic, while the marginally more upscale drones sound wonderfully ominous, ideal for creating an atmosphere.

Drums (31.7Mb) - Not your regular dance kits here !, the "Space" and "Ambient" kits feature huge drums sounds dripping in effects. Cavernous really meaning that. Apart from these there are some Distorted Reality versions of some classic Roland TR505, 808 and 909 kits that certainly add a little variation to these sounds. Whilst I wouldn't see people making a whole loop from these kits they would be ideal for adding some variation or as a spot effect, another excellent section and rather more useful that the collection of individual hits that some sample CD's include.

Fuzz (38.3Mb) - Another excellent collection of synthetic sounds, from the jet engine of "Thruster", via the menacing "Snaris" to the axe man overload of "Power Hungry", lots of distortion and synth meets the fuzz box sounds here. (Insert your own word for excellent ).

Hits (29.3Mb) - Big sounding hits, characterised by varied and interesting tail/sustain effects. Real attention grabbers and speaker busters these !

Human (7.7Mb) - Three very good effects, a baby voice, a manic distorted crowd and a haunting vocal type pad.

Mallets (3.5Mb) - A couple of big soft ambient type hits, ideal for adding a spot effect or rhythm element.

Metals (4.4Mb) - Just a handful of metal saw type pads and great, "hitting a piano string with a hammer" type sound

Noise(19.3Mb) - Not too far in places from the Ambient and Drone effects from earlier, more great sustained sounds, perhaps a little more distorted and effected, ideal for something a little more extreme.

Pads (32.7Mb) - Half a dozen or so stunning pads, from very delicate "Ethereal" pads to a powerful "Fripp" pad with a couple of distorted ones thrown in for good measure.

Pulsating (24.3Mb) - Repeating pulsating samples that give the impression of alien machines and building rhythms. Very good.

Reverse (1.5Mb) - Couple of reversed effects, liked the "custard pie to the face" one especially.

Synth Bass (37.2Mb) - Just a handful of big synth bass sounds, some sourced from a TB 303 and a Minimoog I'd guess, but processed in the Distorted Reality style to produce something rather more different from normal. Very good.

Guitar FX (37.7Mb), Orchestral FX (25.4Mb), Sci-Fi FX (57.6Mb) - I've lumped these together as they're variants of the same theme. In each section you get a variety of spot effects and abstract sustained tones, from lasers, to stabs, bumble bees to cartoon effects. Whilst of course nowhere near a wide a selection as a specialist collection there is a surprising comprehensive selection of very good sounds here, how some might be used of course is a different matter !

Sequences (4.3Mb) - Half a dozen short arpeggio type samples, the running ones sound very Tangerine Dreamesque, very good, not so sure about the others, perhaps a little too distorted for my taste.

Sweepers (61.4Mb) - As the name suggests another comprehensive collection of more sustained sampled that are sweeped up, down and around, from a planet slowly turning to something flashing past your face.

Synths (64.8Mb) - Some BIG synth sounds mixed up in here, the Mega* series of patches in particular are very powerful sounds. Probably more use of multisamples here than elsewhere in the collection, very thoughtfully there are a variety presented in many cases so if memory is tight you can choose a less memory hungry version of the sample. Very good collection, that I'd be praising even more if it weren't for the even greater excellence of some of the other sections.

Talking (2Mb) - Four wildly distorted speech samples that are on the edge of being legible, not bad at all.

Tekno (1.3Mb) - Two "kits" one for Techno type effects and another for Jungle, not just regular percussive elements but also a whole range of short spot effects.

Voices (28.9Mb) - More choral and sustained than the Talking section earlier this much larger collection feature some excellent pad sounds together with some more disturbing distorted variants, some of which are quite distinctly human in origin, others bear only most passing resemblance to anything human. Yet another very good collection.
